 Publication Numbers, Dates, etc.

   The order form at the back of this publication lists all the
 Technology Transfer publications available. They cannot be
 obtained from  any other EPA office and only current, in-stock
 publications are listed. This is why you see gaps in the order
 numbers -e.g.,  6004 is the first number listed in the 6000 series
 because the first three Handbooks are no longer available.
   Publication dates are included on the  order form only for
 Manuals and Handbooks since these publications are much more
 likely to be revised than other Technology Transfer documents.
 The dates shown are for the latest version of each Manual and
 Handbook; publications with earlier dates are obsolete.
   With the exception of the Supplement for Land Treatment of
 Municipal Wastewater (#'\Q'\ 3a), any publications containing the
 letter "a" in its order number is a revision to a previous version
 and is the current version -e.g., 10001 a.
   Another exception is the  Sludge Treatment and Disposal
 Manual (#1011). This document replaces publication #1006 in its
 entirety.
   It is possible that outdated Technology Transfer publications
 may be obtained from the National Technical Information Service
 (703-487-4650) should you have such a  need. However, you
 must have the entire EPA publication number—e.g., EPA/625/1 -
 77-002, not #1002. Our publications office (513-569-7562) can
 give you the required ordering information for outdated Tech-
 nology Transfer publications. Letters requesting such additional
 information, or information on other ORD publications, should be
 sent to: ORD  Publications, U.S. EPA CERI, 26 W. St. Clair,
 Cincinnati, Ohio 45268.
   This edition  of  Technology Transfer contains descriptions of
 twelve new or revised Technology Transfer publications. To order
 any of these, or  any other Technology Transfer publication, please
 fill out the order form and forward to: CERI, Technology Transfer,
 U.S. EPA, PO Box 12505, Cincinnati, Ohio 45212.
 New Technology Transfer Publications

 Manual: Electrostatic Precip/tator Operation and
 Maintenance (Publication #1017)

   This document focuses on operation and maintenance (O&M)
 and minimizes coverage of theoretical and design factors. It
 includes  O&M procedures, performance monitoring, record
 keeping practices,  performance evaluation, problem diagnosis
 and correction, inspection methods and procedures, and a model
 O&M plan. Cause-effect relationships are also presented to help
 prevent or locate problems. The manual can be used by plant
 personnel to prepare a site-specific guide for their facility.
Design Manual for Odor and Corrosion Control in
Sanitary Sewerage Systems and Treatment Plants
(Publication ft 1018)

  This manual is a revision to the Process Design Manual for
Sulfide Control in Sanitary Sewerage Systems, published in
1974. The 1984 EPA Needs Survey estimates the backlog cost of
major sewer rehabilitation to be $3.2 billion, a significant part of
which may be  attributed to  corrosion-induced deterioration.
Construction costs for new sewers through the year 2000 are
estimated at $38.8 billion. This manual is being revised to include
information developed since publication of the 1974 manual. It
covers control of corrosion in both new and existing corrosion in
sewer systems as well as treatment plants. In addition, odor
control in sewers and plants is covered for the first time.

Manual: Lime/Limestone Flue Gas Desulfurization
Inspection and Performance Evaluation Manual
(Publication #1019)

  This manual  provides guidance to regulatory  personnel
involved  in the inspection and permitting of flue gas desulfuriza-
tion (FGD) systems for coal-fired utility steam generators. The
primary audience is the field inspector responsible for inspecting
FGD-equipped coal-fired utility boilers. A secondary audience is
the Federal/State agency permitter. The manual discusses lime
and limestone technology, inspection and performance guide-
lines, and monitoring procedures, and then presents inspection
methods  and procedures, and data interpretation.  O&M  pro-
cedures are also included.

Seminar Publication: Composting of Municipal
Wastewater Sludges (Publication #4014)

  This publication is compiled from presentations made at six
Technology Transfer seminars on  "Sludge Composting  and
Improved Incinerator Performance" held in 1984. It provides
current practical information  on  windrow, static pile, and in-
vessel methods of composting municipal wastewater sludges. It
is  intended for  government and private sector individuals
involved  in the planning, design, and/or operation of these
systems.

Seminar Publication: Municipal Wastewater Sludge
Combustion Technology (Publication #4015)

  This document describes and evaluates the various municipal
sludge combustion systems.  It emphasizes the necessity for
considering and evaluating the costs involved in the total sludge
management train, including  dewatering, combustion, air pol-
lution control, and ash disposal processes. It also answers
questions raised concerning incineration as a means of sludge

-------
solids processing  for ultimate disposal  and presents factual
answers supported by case histories.


Seminar Publication: Protection of Public Water
Supplies from Groundwater Water Contamination
(Publication #4016)

  This publication provides an organized  approach to acquiring
the knowledge necessary for effective and efficient management
of groundwater supplies. The  information is compiled from
presentations made at a series  of  14  Technology Transfer
seminars held from February 1984 to January 1985. It includes
chapters on geology,  classification of groundwater regions,
hydrogeologic processes, management alternatives for prevent-
ing and dealing with contamination incidents, and alternative
technologiesfortreating contaminated supplies. It is intended for
government and municipal officials and private sector individuals
concerned  with developing  solutions to local contamination
problems.


Handbook: Estimating Sludge Management Costs at
Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facilities (Publication
#6010)

  This handbook provides information on estimating costs for
management of the sludge residue that results from municipal
wastewater treatment.  This  information makes it possible to
obtain rapid cost comparisons between different sludge manage-
ment alternatives and should result  in the selection of more
cost-effective combinations of processes.
Revised Technology Transfer Publications

Environmental Pollution Control Alternatives: Reducing
Water Pollution Control Costs in the Electroplating
Industry (Publication #5016a)

  This document presents the economics of wastewater reduc-
tion and materials recovery technologies. It serves as a compan-
ion publication to the Environmental Regulations and Technology
document covering the same industry (Publication  #10001 a).
Wastewater and materials recovery technologies are presented
in the context of the electroplating  regulations. Capital  and
operating  costs  are  described  for major  components  of  a
wastewater system and several materials recovery processes are
described  and evaluated with respect to their  technical  and
economic advantages.
Handbook for Remedial Action at Waste Disposal Sites
(Publication #6006a)

  This is a revised version of the Handbook published originally in
1982. It provides Federal, State, and local officials and private
industry sufficient information  on remedial technologies to
enable the user to select potentially applicable technologies for a
given site,  and understand what is involved in designing and
implementing these technologies. Emphasis is placed on those
technologies which are demonstrated for hazardous waste site
applications. Emerging technologies are included but in less
detail. The Handbook enables the user to make an easy transition
to more detailed guidance documents and design manuals
referenced throughout the Handbook.
Summary Report: Fine Pore (Fine Bubble) Aeration
Systems (Publication #8010)

  It is estimated that 50-90% of the power cost for wastewater
treatment is  for aeration. Fine pore diffusion presents  the
opportunity to significantly reduce these costs due to its oxygen
transfer efficiency. This report provides the latest information on
performance potential, requirements and costs for installation in
new municipal wastewater treatment plants as well as retrofit,
and describes the requirements for an operation and mainte-
nance program. Although not a design manual, this document
will assists practicing engineers in the selection, specification,
design, and control of fine pore aeration systems.
Protecting Health and Safety at Hazardous Waste Sites
(Publication #9004)

  This document summarizes the recommendations developed
by a four-agency work group composed of representatives from
NIOSH, OSHA, EPA and the Coast Guard and presents the key
issues to consider  in designing, evaluating or implementing a
health and safety program for hazardous waste site activities. It
covers such key aspects of protection as planning;  training;
medical monitoring; site cauterizations; personal protective
equipment; site control; decontamination; handling drums and
other containers; and site emergencies. The document is intended
for local. State, and federal officials, corporate managers, and
related technical and nontechnical personnel who need informa-
tion on the fundamental health and safety aspects of waste site
cleanup activities.
Environmental Regulations and Technology: The
Electroplating Industry (Publication #1000la)

   This publication provides the electroplating industry a summary
of water laws, regulatory activities, and technologies that affect
decisions  regarding wastewater treatment and disposal. EPA's
recently promulgated regulations on water pollution control and
sludge disposal are presented and wastewater treatment tech-
nologies are discussed for various  electroplating  categories.
Facilities are first divided into captive and job shops, then further
separated into plants that combine electroplating waste streams
with others prior to discharge and those that discharge only
wastewater from  electroplating  operations.  Regulations are
discussed for all plants that include monitoring requirements,
variances, and pollutants in intake waters.
