Geological Aspects of Hazardous Waste Management

by Stephen Testa
Lewis Publishers

This books brings together technical, legislative, regulatory, and business aspects of hazardous waste issues as they pertain to preventing, assessing, containing, and remediating soil and ground water contamination. Emphasis is placed on how surface geologic and hydrogeologic conditions affect the decision-making process.

Geophysical Techniques for Sensing Buried Waste Migration

by Richard C. Benson, Robert Glaccum, and Michael R. Noel
NGWA

The six geophysical techniques described in the publication include:

  • Metal detection
  • Magnetometry
  • Ground-penetrating radar
  • Electromagnetics
  • Resistivity
  • Seismic refraction.

Their applications for sensing the presence of subsurface waste and waste migration are detailed.

Hazardous Waste Site Investigation

by Richard Gammage and Barry Berven
Lewis Publishers

The development and application of new, more cost-effective technologies for hazardous waste site characterization and remediation are the focus of this text. New technologies are presented for field instrumentation, biomarker-based biomonitoring, surface water and ground water monitoring, chemical sensing, and radiochemical measurement and sensing. Valuable case studies from Superfund, DOD, and DOE programs are included, as well as laboratory programs.

Subsurface Migration of Hazardous Wastes

by Joseph DeVinny, Lorne Everett, James C. S. Lu, and Robert Stollar
Van Nostrand Reinhold

Contains a full explanation of how to control, at minimum costs, the below-ground transport of hazardous wastes. It shows how to collect samples using the best drilling methods and sampling gear; assesses subsurface pollution using minimum amounts of data; and demonstrates containment, destruction, and relocation of waste and how to deal with pollution in a wide range of circumstances.

Standard Handbook for Solid and Hazardous Waste Facility Assessments

by Martin Sara
Lewis Publishers

Covers the components of assessment monitoring programs that define both the rate and the extent of contamination and provide design criteria for aquifer remediation. Technical tools are discussed and techniques such as flow net constructions, cross section instructions, and documentation standards are discussed. Technical aspects of site assessments regarding contaminated ground water evaluation and remediation are covered in detail.
