Solidification of petroleum-based tar material with capping was selected as the closure methodology for a former nonhazardous industrial waste landfill in the Eastern United States. While more expensive in the short term, this closure approach met the major long-term goals of the customer (site owner): rapid exit strategy, salability, and reduced long term monitoring. Value engineering changes ...

Environmental planning and management can have positive effects on development of some land uses including industrial areas that have a major effect on economic, social and environmental conditions. Considering the most important problems associated with modeling, the fundamental methods and functions of site-selection laid inside the geographical information system are not accounted for the mu...

A one-year survey was conducted in the greater region of Crete (located at the lower region of the Aegean Sea) for the purpose of identifying waste composition (including chemical and physical characterization), as well as any seasonal variation. The investigation was carried out repeatedly at seven landfills and one transfer station in Crete, in four phases. Each sampling phase corresponded to...
