This technical resource document describes current information on the design, construction and operation of surface impoundments used for treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Pertinent regulations under RCRA are summarized.

Surface impoundment structures that will meet the regulatory requirements are described, as are methods for closing surface impoundments, either in-place or by waste removal. Cover technology is also discussed.

This book is presented in two parts. Part I covers the problems associated with scrap tires and identifies existing and potential source reduction and utilization methods that may be effective in solving the scrap tire problem. Barriers to increased utilization and options for removing the barriers are identified and evaluated. Part II provides information on the use of whole, scrap tires and tire-derived fuel (TDF) as combustion fuel, and on the pyrolysis of scrap tires.

Provides up-to-date information on current technologies and practices in solvent substitution for those involved in handling, using or managing hazardous and toxic solvents, based on an international workshop held in 1990. Covers a wide range of solvent substitution activities: paint stripping, coating applications, printed circuit boards, metal cleaning, metal finishing, manufacturing, hardware and weapons production and maintenance, compliance monitoring, and process control monitoring.

This book examines the issues relating to material composition, toxicity reduction, and opportunities for reclaiming and recycling the component materials in consumer dry cell batteries.

The book provides state-of-the-art information on removal, recovery, treatment, and disposal of mercury and arsenic wastes, based on a workshop held in Alexandria, Virginia in August 1992. The goals of the workshop were: 1) to examine the fundamentals and analytical issues related to mercury and arsenic compounds; 2) to disseminate information on the state of practice of source reductiontechnologies that recover or remove mercury and arsenic from industrial wastes?and recycling or reuse processes; and 3) to discuss existing and emerging technologies that treat industrial wastes or...

A guide to current practices in hazardous waste incineration, including commercially available technologies, waste characterization, pollution control, facility design and operation.

An extensive evaluation of emission control technologies, models for estimating air emissions, and properties and categorization of wastes.

A guide to the many variables affecting leak detection methods. It includes volumetric leak detection tests, nonvolumetric leak tests, inventory control, and leak effects monitoring.

This book covers basic groundwater hydrology and the science and technology used to protect public water supplies from groundwater contamination.
