                          INTRODUCTION


     This document makes available in printed form one of the eleven
major  subject categories of the solid waste management literature
abstracted and stored on computer by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.  A decision to close the computerized abstracting activities
-Of .the Solid Waste Information Retrieval System (SWIRS)  in 1979 was
influenced by rising costs and moderate growth of requests from users.
However, EPA's Office of Solid Waste has undertaken to publish the
1975 through 1978 data; abstracts from earlier years may appear in
some sections.  The SWIRS monthly abstracts series formerly published
are no longer available.


                              User Requests

     The basic documents listed in the abstracts as "Retained in SWIRS
library" may be requested via interlibrary loan through recognized

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Sanitary landfill closure and administrative
considerations during operation are reviewed. Landfills should be
selected, designed, and operated with an end use in Bind. After
closure, nost landfill sites will be used as recreation areas. Problems
which can occur during closure and reclamation of landfill sites are
reviewed and remedial measures are suggested. Closure should: be
aesthetic; control erosion and runoff; minimize environmental problems;
and anticipate future problems. Administrative concerns during
operation include financing, record keeping, and system organization.
Financing is considered in rejard to raising capital, operating costs,
to raising revenues for repayment of investments, fiecord keeping should
improve efficiency, reduce costs, prevent minor problems from
escalating,  eliminate wasteful practices, and improve future planning.
Basic organizational needs are reviewed, including use of an
organizational chart to illustrate areas of responsibility. Development
of plans for breakdowns, shutdowns, and other emergencies is noted.

    (11) ABSTRACT:  Regionalism, already  well under way in solid waste
disposal, was given a major boost with the passage of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976  (ECRA). The act, among  other
things, calls for creation of a nationwide system of substate regional
solid waste planning districts. The  act  establishes a comprehensive
framework for identifying and regulating solid and hazardous  waste and
also for upgrading local waste management  practices. BCRA is  more
.likely to achieve its objectives than previous federal environmental
legislation because of its emphasis  on state and local responsibility.
The most important section of the act is the section on "State and
fieqional Solid Haste Plans," in whicn governors in consultation with
local officials are instructed to use previously issued Environmental
Erotection Agency guidelines to identify regional solid waste
management units and designate a state agency responsible for
implementing the state plan. Regional planning agencies are to begin
putting their plans into action by March 1978. Kunicipal officials are
urged to take an active role in planning to assure that State
consultation with local officials takes full- account of the advantages
of existing municipal disposal arrangements. Although funding has
improved under the Carter administration, it is still insufficient and
»anv states may choose not to cooperate in enacting the various

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Developments in the collection  and  disposal of
refuse in England during 1975 and 1976 are  reviewed. Questionnaires
sere sent to collection authorities  with  regard to refuse  collection,
street cleaning, public conveniences, and transport. Forty of the 50
questionnaires were completed and returned.  The results of the
questionnaires related general, national, and local inforaation on
refuse collection and disposal  legislation  and activities.  Expenditures
allocated to and requirements of local collection  authorities are
examined. The econoaic viability of  new  refuse collection  and disposal
projects is discussed. Provisions of  the  following laws, as related to
local collection authorities, are detailed:  Employment protection Act
of 1975, the Lacsab Employee Relations Handbook published  in 1976, Sex
Discrimination Act of 1975, Equal Pay Act of 1970, Health  and Safety at
Work Act of 1974, Control  ot Pollution Act  of 1974, and motor transport
legislation. Problems associated with the reorganization of local
collection services are described. Improvements to and the extension of
services are explored. Economic aspects  of  refuse  collection and
disposal are addressed, with particular  attention  given to potential
reductions in service, better utilization of existing  resources, and
transport.

 Accomplishments in the following areas are detailed:  administration,
 street  lighting, public building operations, street  maintenance,
 building maintenance, refuse, codes enforcement, engineering,  property
 construction, capital improvements, capital  equipment, and Federal
 grants.  Budget allocations for these component  areas  are noted,  of the
 total budget for the department, involving $56,796,242,  10 percent or
 J5,795,842 is designated for refuse and 7  percent or  $4,105,362  is for
 street  maintenance.  The refuse section of  the Department of  Public
 Works is responsible for the collection and  disposal  of  refuse from
 over 142,000 hones in Kansas City. The plastic  bag method of
 collection,  established in 1971, is used.  All refuse  collected by  the
 city is  disposed of  in State approved sanitary  landfills operated  by
 private  contractors.  Refuse equipment used by the city is detailed. The

   (11) ABSTRACT:  The Oftice of Research and Development  work  on  the
Public Sector Activities Program is  reviewed. There are  three research
subprograms and waste Management is  organized in five areas; wastewater
treatment technology, soil treatment systems, runoff pollution  control,
community wastewater system management,  and solid  and hazardous waste
aanagement. The general area of research in each of these  subjects is
reviewed. In 1976 emphasis will be on technological problems associated
Viith the Construction Grants Program, principally  the processing and
disposal of sludqes  from wastewater  treatment systems. Upgrading
existing treatment works and alternative wastewater disinfection
technologies will also receive attention. The Five Year  Plan has the
sane objectives, with increased attention to improving existing
treatment facilities with instrumentation, automation, and improved
operation and maintenance procedures, integrated dry and wet weather
management systems for urban wastewaters, treatment technologies to
achieve the goals of P. L. 92-500, other treatment technologies for
specific discharge conditions, and development of  non structural
approaches to urban and suburban runoff  control. Major goals of  the
water supply subprogram include researching improved methods of
identifying and measuring contaminants in drinking water and finding
their source and effects, and improved treatment methods of raw  water.
Environmental management goals involve investigation of  linkages among
various residuals generated and discharged by community  activities,
design of integrated environmental management systems, evaluatian  of
impacts on all media of single media pollution control strategies,  and
development of technical guidance metnods.

    (11)  ABSTRACT:  Network analysis was  applied to the  problem or  the
 determining the economic cost of dairy waste  handling.  Eleven freestall
 waste handling systems were defined and  compared on  the basis of  a
 qiven set of input parameters. The network developed was analyzed  on
 the basis of initial construction cost and yearly operational cost.  A
 computer program was written to facilitate the  computation. The progran
 was constructed for easy adaptation to new systems.  Network analysis is
 an effective tcol for identityifig and comparing multiple manure
 handling systems. Network analysis is flexible. Individual  farms  can be
 analyzed. Information regarding tne costs for different manure handling
 systems is possible and is essential in  determining  the best  system  tor
 a given fara. Network analysis has partially  met the objectives of
 providing analysis for decision mating on waste management
 alternatives. Additional inputs are needed to improve the usefulness of
 the tool, such as Benefits from manures  for fertilizers,  labor
 requirements, and odor control.

   (11)  ABSTSACT:  As nuclear fission increases as a source of energy
over the next several decades the problems of treatment, separation,
shipment, and long term disposal of radioisotopes will become note
acute.  The management of these wastes and the technology being
developed to treat solid wastes contaminated with radioactivity are
described, along with the techniques beiny considered for long term
storage and disposal. Projections ot annual rates of generation and
accumulation of 10 categories of radioactive wastes are given. &
regulation proposed by the a. S. Atomic Energy Commission would
prohibit the further burial of commercial transuranium wastes in the
soil and would require that tney be turned over to Federal custody. An
objective of the 0. S.  Energy Research and Development Agency is to
improve the form and composition of waste materials to contribute to
economic and effective disposal. Solid contaminated wastes include
combustible wastes, liquid and sludge wastes, and non-combustible
wastes. Methods of treating combustible wastes include acid digestion,
controlled air incineration, pyrolysis, molten salt combustion,
fluidized bed combustion, aud cyclone incineration. Common techniques
for treating liquid and sludge wastes are batch and continuous process
phosphate treatment. Non-comDustible wastes include many precious
aetals and thus have a high recovery value. Methods of treatment
include smelting, treating cladding hulls before contact, and
contaminating cladding hulls. Disposing radioactive wastes safely can
be accomplished with existing analytical capabilities and technology.

   (11) ABSTRACT:  Information about quantitative comparisons  that have
teen made between effluent charges and direct regulation, as
environmental management policy instruments, is presented. The water
quality study of the Delaware Hiver Basin is detailed. A major aspect
in the strategy of this study was the use of a model to analyze the
total and incremental coats of achieving five objective sets,  each
representing a different package and spatial distribution of water
quality characteristics.  The study also  estimated benefits associated
with the objective sets.  In another study, the possible use of effluent
charges as an economic incentive for controlling  the discharge of
residuals in the Delaware Estuary area was explored. A study of
effluent charges and water guality proposed a national effluent charge
system designed to achieve 1983 water guality standards established in
1972 amendments to the Federal Hater Pollution Control Act. Various
studies dealing with air guality are cited. Four  alternative methods of
implementing standards are discussed: (1) direct  regulation;  (2) single
tax or a set of source-specific standards  which produce levels af
control over an optimal solution without levying  controls on remaining
emissions;  (3) ad hoc emissions tax; and  (4) single tax or a set of
source-specific taxes on all emissions derived from least cost
solutions. The implementation or etfluent charge  systems in certain
foreign countries is described.  (Retained in SWIBS licrary).

the Solid and Hazardous Haste Kesearch Division  (SHHRD). The
Cincinnati, Ohio, office is directing research towards  new and improved
systems of municipal and hazardous waste management, development  of
technology, determination of environmental  effects,  and collection of
data necessary for the establish Bent of  processing and  disposal
guidelines. The current research program is divided  into three areas:
 (1) pollutant predictions for current landfill techniques;  (2)
alternatives to current landfill disposal techniques;  and   (3) reaedial
action for minimizing pollutants trom uuacceptacle sites.  Recent  focus
on a waste-as-fuels program is discussed. Funding procedures are
delineated.  (Retained in SWIRS library).

Recovery Act (1970), and  challenges  federal and State governments to
correct the complex  problems  of solid wastes management. Key provisions
of the new law, PL 94-580, include regulating hazardous wastes from
their initial generation  to ultimate disposal;  the elimination of open
dumping of all wastes within  seven years; and the use of resource
conservation as an option in  solid wastes management. The law
dramatically alters  the role  of the  solid wastes management operator. A
variety of requireBents aad financial assistance programs are provided
to develop and implement  solid wastes disposal methods.  Environmental
Protection Agency  (EPA)  responsibilities are noted.  Financing will aid
•unicipalities with  a population  of  5,000 or fewer and/or counties with
a population of 10,000 or fewer than 20  persons/sg, mile  to plan,
design, and construct facilities  to  provisions of the law. EPA is
required to provide  state guideline,  technical,  aad financial
assistance.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Thfc impact of municipal water and sewage charges  on
industry is examined. The following methods for basing  the municipal
charges for water and sewage services to industry  are acceptable  wit bin
the confines of PL 92 500: meter water by uses; meter total water and
measure wastewater; and fixed charges. Advantages  and disadvantages  of
each are discussed. A case study is presented of a plastics company  who
found that combined increases in water and sewage  charges raised  their
costs for these services  cy 85 percent.  Following  an engineering
evaluation, the plastics  company was able to eliminate  approximately 50
to 75 percent of their discharge. Even small plants can justify proper
engineering analysis and  can recover study and improvement costs.  All
industries must linimize  or reduce their wastewater discharges. These
economies are mandated by aiguer water and sewage  charges and  the new
federal regulations, A logical step by step engineering analysis  is  the
best way to proceed. The  following topics should be examined;  devices;
quantity of municipal water; alternate sources of  water; pretreatment
or on site process waste treatment; possible reduction  in quantity of
uastewater discharged to municipal sewers.

    (11)  ABSTRACT:  A respresentative of  the Rollins Environmenal
 Service discusses hazardous waste management at a  public meeting  held
 by the Environmental Protection Agency on  December 2,  1975  in  Newark,
 Kew Jersey. Rollins has invested approximately $6  million in the
 development of technology and $18 million  for the  construction of three
 regional hazardous waste treatment plants. Hollins plants offer
 indemnified hazardous waste disposal services to the Mid-Atlantic and
 South Central regions of the United States. Treatment  processes  used by
 the company for hazardous waste basically  involve  thermal biological
 oxidation and chenical treatment. Material recovery is also carried out
 but at a much lower level because of the lack of further development
 funds.  Critical problems faced by the company are  twofold:  (1) the
 volume of business offered to its three  regional plants is  not
 sufficient to make the company a profitable one; (2) the lack  of  return
 on investments reduces the ability of the  company  to improve the
 performance of existing plans and expand to other  areas. Costs of
 hazardous waste treatment are noted. Sampling, analysis,
 detoxification, and disposal aspects of  hazardous  waste are addressed.
 Consideration is also given to safety and  insurance for hazardous waste
 nanaqement facility operators. A question  and answer session follows
 the presentation.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Good planning using available  resources  helped the
city of Nevada, Missouri, develop a "profitable"  low cost sanitary
landfill that overcomes limitations of fill sites and investment. A  30
acre site was acquired from a nearby hospital in  return  for free
disposal service. Total investment in land improvement  was  $5,500.
Drainage cost another $6,500. A caterpillar D 5 was purchased  at
$35,200. A new log chipper also was bought to reduce the volume  of logs
and brush. Area gardeners take chips for  mulch and compost  and logs  are
taken by homeowners with fireplaces. Clippings will be  used to cover
topsoil in freezing weather. Horn out tires are picked  up by recycling
plants. Amortization of the total landfill cost of $66,260  plus
salaries, equipment operating costs, and  overhead has a  projected base
rate of $3. 11 per ton. The fee schedule  ranges froa 75  cents  for
passenger cars to $4 for trucKs without  packer bodies.  A problem which
hopefully will be solved by a higher volume of packer trucks is
utilization of dirt. Erratic volume and  the need  to cover each day
often means that lifts are consideracly  thinner than the desired /.
feet.

    (11)  ABSTRACT:   Procedures in closing an open dump are outlined that
 were followed by officials in Arkadelphia, Arkansas when a dump had to
 be closed due to State health department regulations. Before the dump
 could  be closed, an alternate means of disposal had to be established.
 Clark  County, Arkansas now operates a sanitary landfill and a bulk
 container collection system tor rural residents and small communities.
 A survey of  existing conditions around the Arkadelphia city dump showed
 that five major phases would ae involved in closing the dump:  (1)
 inform the public  of new  arrangements and close the duap to public
 access;  (2)  exterminate the dump's  rat population; (3) cover all
 exposed  solid waste;  (4)  spread and compact refuse into the dump's low
 areas;  and (5)  improve dump area drainage. It is noted tuat the costs
 of closing a dump  can  be  Jiigii,  although such closure involves a
 one-time expense and  constitutes a  major environmental and aesthetic
 improvement.

     (11) ABSTRACT:  This  paper  relates to the budgets of  fiscal 1975 for
  naste  management works allocated  by  the  Hinistry  of Health and Welfare
  which  indicates a  125. 4  percent  increase compared  with  the previous
  year 197« and amounts to  23,312,315,000  yen  whereas budgets for otter
  public  works has maintained  the sane amount  for two years. Outfitting
  projects in the past for  waste management plants  are first discussed.
  The projects for general  waste management plants  in the  year 1975 are
  sewaqe  treatment plants  which  received 3,579,239,000 yen and the waste
  and refuse treating  plants which  received 15,056,722,000 yen.  The
  projects for industrial waste  management plants initially to be run by
  the industries will  receive  a  financial  assistance  of 200 million yen
  from the Government. Forty million yen were  given  for an information
  control system and the development of a  total technology for industrial
  waste  management.  Also discussed  is  the  financial  investment for
  improvement of the living environment, which amounts to  1,557,300,000
  yen. (Text in Japanese)

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  New federal environmental and safety acts  will  force
the textile industry to spend 1. 977 billion dollars between  now and
1977 on equipment, facilities, and treatments which will contribute
nothing to the final product. The amount  is roughly three times the
amount spent in the last 6 yaars for all  new plant and equipment.  In
several cases, the outlay of funds tor regulation improvements has been
unnecessarily costly, as in tne case of  South Carolina where  finishing
firms spent money to convert from coal to oil, and now must re-convert
to coal. In the long run, draining of profits will force industries  to
close, and create the problems o£ unemployment. It is up to the
industry, then, to use legislative and technological methods  to
confront the laws and regulations. Three  methods are suggested:
education of the public and Congress on  the financial burdens being
imposed by the government regulations in  the face of an economic:
recession and rising energy costs; education within the industry on  the
laws and regulations and implementing of  the exceptions which Congress
has provided; and a third method of establishing industry's case is  by
confronting the EPA directly with scientifically developed  technical
data, which the EPA must consider in the  rule making process.

   (11) ABSTRACT:  The role of management in planning  effluent disposal
and water conservation is discussed. The historical right to use
natural resources and dispose of waste is reviewed. Development of
technology and science has altered attitudes, as have  social and
political pressures. The types of management existing  in industry ia
Great Britain are discussed. Legislation passed, in addition to the
Hater Act (1973), is outlined, and the interrelationships of various
acts are discussed. European Economic Commission regulations will also
need attention in future. A prime aim of good industrial aanagement is
to understand and accept legislation and make policy statements to this
effect. Management infrastructures will often develop  to deal with new
legislation. Management infrastructures will often develop  to deal with
new legislation. Management relationship with Water Authorities is
outlined. More detailed information is needed about the  effects of
pollutants discharged  to water, and industry's responsibility in  this
matter  is discussed, together  with the need  to be  well informed when
negotiating  with controlling authorities.  The problems of setting
realistic standards are investigated and methods of obtaining them are
suggested. Alternatives such as incineration may need  to be considered,
and waste discharged to sewage works, which  is being actively
encouraged,  may need full or partial treatment first.  Management  must
take action  when problem areas are highlighted, through  improved
housekeeping, reorganization,  or, aore subtle, through safety audits
and value -judgements.  The difficulties of allocating capital
expenditure  to pollution control  are discussed. Often  a  priority  system
is required. Water supply and  conservation is also the responsibility
of the  Water Authorities under the Water Act, and  this has  varying
iaplications for different industries. Different types of water are

 available,  but costs factors arise if industry has to further  treat  the
 water.  Liaison with the fcater authorities is important  in  planninq for
 water supplies of set quality in future. As costs  rise,  industry  will
 need to devise recycling schemes to optimize water use.

    (11)  ABSTRACT:   Western solid wastes management technology was
 discussed  in relation to tropical and developing countries. It was
 suggested  that  considerable adjustments in the normal British approach
 were  necessary  when advice was being offered to people overseas. The
 nest  obvious difference between Great Britain and othet countries was
 the quantity and  character of  wastes. Climatic differences and economic
 factors are  also  important. The economic impact of a program designed
 en  the  British  scale could ae  disastrous in poorer countries. However,
 since a large part of solid waste collection and disposal is carried
 out by  manual labor this could be a compensating factor. There ace wide
 differences  between countries  in management and technical resources.
 Concerning refuse storage and  collection,  the first major difference
 between overseas  countries and the United  Kingdom was that the latter
 accepted weekly collections as normal. As for refuse disposal, crude
 dumping is most universal. There is enormous scope for adapting manual
 methods of landfillin-} to tue  needs of the developing countries.
 Composting is probably the most important method of disposal for both
 rich  and poor countries.  Developing countries, whether rich or poor all
 need  advice  from  knowledgeable professionals. It was stressed that, when
 assisting  under developed countriss, no attempt oust be made to impose
 western solutions on conditions which are particular to a developing
 country. An  endeavor should fie mane to help satisry its specific need
 to  inprove standards by the dissemination of knowledge and technical
 skills  possessed  in Great Britain.

utilization and conservation plans for livestock production facilities.
Haste management needs are having significant impacts on the  design  of
livestock housing units,  due to emphasis on environmental  control  for
increased animal performance. This necessitates increased  energy
requirements for ventilation; waste collection, transport, and
pretreatment; and terminal management. Consideration is  given to feed
and energy needs associated with conventional and environmentally
controlled poultry production facilities,  effects of environmentally

   (11) ABSTRACT:  A mathematical reexamination of the role of market
structure for effluent charges AS presented. Tax systems l>ased on
minimizing the resource input costs  of pollution abatement as opposed
to those which also consider the value of the output vectors associated
with pretax and po^t tax  allocations are  compared,  A simple model is
developed which snows that efficient resource allocation in the
presence of product market distortions and a pollution externality
requires two respective policy  instruments.  It is concluded that  where
there is more than one external  diseconomy,  public policy to achieve
cptimal resource allocation requires at least the same number of  policy
instruments as iaiperfections to  be corrected.

    (11)  ABSTRACT:  The waste disposal strategy  in  Herseyside,  England
is described. Merseyside is one of England's seven metropolitan
authorities and generates an annual  load of  525,000 tons of  domestic
and commercial waste. An additional  450,000  tons of other  materials  are
received at the authority's waste disposal sites each year.  The amount
of waste being handled by the private sector is not quantified.  The
major task facing engineers in Merseyside is to secure  adequate
facilities to meet short term needs  (5  years).  With the exception of  a
new incinerator which was planned Before reorganization in the
metropolitan authority and is scheiiuled for  completion  in  October 1976,
there are no long term waste disposal facilities established or under
development. It is noted in a report by an engineer that the
availability of short term tippiny space could  be  improved by  the
flexible use of existing sites and maximum use  of  the new  incinerator.
Furthermore, site licensing could result in  closures in the  private
sector which would place additional  pressure on the authority  of
Herseyside. Consideration is oeing given to  the possibility  of using
waste disposal sites outside the authority's ^jurisdiction  and  creative
landfilling techniques which involve reclamation.  Operating  costs of
incineration are noted, along with transfer  loading stations and
pulverization of favored long term disposal  options.

    (11) ABSTRACT:  EPA's resource recovery demonstration grant  projects
to  date are summarized. Comprehensive technical discussions are
available in publications listed at  the  end of the  report.  The  report
discusses the purpose of the grant  program; the project  approved for
the City of Franklin, Ohio, to demonstrate the recovery  of  materials  by
a wet  processing system; the St. Louis project to demonstrate the
feasibility of burning shredded municipal solid waste in an existing
utility boiler as a supplement to pulverized  coal;  the Baltimore,
Baryland, pyrolysis project to generate  steam; the  San Diego,
California, project to produce a liguid  fuel  from municipal solid waste
through pyrolysis which will oe burned as a supplement to  fuel  oil in
the electric utility boilers of the  San  Diego Gas and Electric  Company;
and the Somerville and Marblehead,  Bassachusetts, projects  to
demonstrate the  feasibility of weakly curbside collection  of paper,
glass, and cans  using a compartmentalized collection truck. The author
concludes that the EPA demonstration program  has  produced  a number of
benefits which include: an increased amount of data available for the
various systems; improvements in setting marketing  specifications
through experience of users ot the  recovered  energy and  materials; and
acquisition of valuable waste handling experience which  serves  to

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Tne mdngement of refuse collection and
transportation in Japan is discussed in  a  paper presented at  the  Third
Japan-United States Governmental Conference on Solid Haste  Management
in flay 1976. Emphasis is placed on two major goals:  (1) reduce the
amount of refuse in order to promote city  inhabitant liability for
refuse disposal and to reestablish a collection fee charging  system
which will minimize rising disposal and  transportation costs; and (2)
establish a system of night aud early morning working and promote
worker morale for wor* so as to increase working efficiency.  The
history of refuse collection and transportation in Japan is traded  in
relation to the banishment of wooden trash boxes and collection  with
polyethylene containers,  pack collection and common use metal container
collection, and problems in tae collection and transportation system.
Ihe status of Japan's refuse collection  and transportation  system is
discussed, and refuse collection and transportation methods are
outlined. Recommendation  on improving Japan's refuse collection  and
transportation system are made, and local activities to minimize  the
generation of refuse and recover products  for reuse are noted. Economic
aspects of refuse collection and transportation are cited,  along  with
supporting tabular data.  (Document retained in SHIRS library)

   (11) ABSTRACT:  A hydrogeologica1 investigation is reported that  was
conducted to identify subsurface soil conditions, ground  water levels,
and the effect of installing ground  water  monitoring wells  in Saco,
Maine. Thirteen soil borings were taken  in the subsurface investigation
and ground water monitoring program, and monitoring wells were
installed in 11 of these bore holes. In  addition, a study was made  of
ground water and surface hydrology in the  area. Two basic alternatives
were considered for the control of leachate:  (1) collection and
treatment; and  (2)  prevention of refuse/water contact.  It was
determined that leachate collection  could  best be accomplished by
installing an underdrain system and assoicated works surrounding the
study site, in conjunction with proper closing and capping  of the area.
Several alternative impervious liner systems were examined  for
preventing refuse/water contact: synthetic liners, soil/bentonite
•ixture,  soil/cement  mixture, and natural  clay. Vertical  barrier
alternatives for preventing refusa/water contact included slurry trench
aethods,  grouting, Imper-tfall system which increases the  efficiency  of
ground injection, steel sheeting, and concrete wall. Cost estimates
were developed for the various alternatives. The fololowing steps were
adopted for the prevention of leachate:  cover area with an  impervious
liner of clay, improve the efficiency of surface runoff in  the vicinity
of the disposal area oy constructing drainage ditches to  convey runoff
to natural drainage courses, and institute an expanded  monitoring
program to measure ground water levels and quality.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  The developaent and installation of a cheaical waste
landfill at the Union Carbide plant in Institute, west Virginia is
described. Investigations leading to the chemical landfill  project
pointed out the need for handling a large volume of waste,  proximity of
landfill to plant, protection against uncontrolled leachate and
excessive rain, protection of personnel, and avoidance of fire and
odor. Design and operating practices were developed for the landfill,
and costs for landfill operations were initially based on an annual
waste load of 12,000 cu yd per year. Disposal costs of chemical
landfill were compared to those associated with incineration and
sanitary landfill technigues. A form was specially designed for waste
classification and control.  Based on the experience at the  Union
Carbide plant, it is concluded that chemical landfill is a  viable
•ethod  for handling hazardous and refractory chemical waste. Problems
in the  chemical landfill project have included leachate collection and
odor, although it is anticipated that these will be corrected during
the final phase of landfill  construction. It is felt that a highly
experienced landfill operator familiar with chemicals and chemical
process operations is essential to t^e successful control of a chemical
                                    17

    (11) ABSTRACT:  The  author reviews  and discusses the present main
components and  likely trends in  transportation,  collection,  and
disposal of solid  wastes. With regard  to collection,  the increase in
bulk and weight of solid  wastes  iias  made it  necessary to consider an
increase in on-site  compaction equipment as  well as improved volume
reduction equipment  in  collection  vehicles.  If recycling were
eventually to be carried  out at  the  source,  then a complete review of
collection venicles  would be needed. Noise pollution  could be markedly
reduced but cleansing officers do  not  seem to want to do anything about
it. The oil shortage and  rising  prices  are also  going to entail a
reevaluation of transport. Alternative  fuel  sources for road vehicles
will have to be found,  such as electricity,  nuclear power, or
electricity produced by nuclear  power.  Battery-operated vehicles have
not been noticeably  successful because  the higher operating costs did
not turn the battery vehicle into  a  financial competitor, liquefied
petroleum gas is another  possioility which would reduce diesel saoke,
noise, exhaust  emissions, cleaner  combustion, and may lenyhten engine
life. It is likely that,  witnir.  the  next few years, collection systems
will change from labor-intensive manual work to  on-site compression
equipment with  a single vehicle  ana  driver.  The  only  other possible
alternative to  road  collection would be vacuum-assisted pipeline
transport.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Efficient development  of energy  resources  and
distribution of energy research funds necessitate an  analysis of  a
number of social, economic, and environmental  factors.  A simple and
comprehensive set of consistent measures  taken from one external
conceptual frame is the way to improvement. Such a  system based on
energy accounting procedures or net energy analysis can be  found  in
writing of Oduo, Berry and Fels, Chapman, and  Slesser.  Discussion
comprises the concept of net energy, a description  of how net energy is
seasured, its connection to energy demand, material shortages, dollar
costs,  environmental pressures, and reserve evaluations. Net  energy
analysis is illustrated through consideration  of geothermal energy
development. Usage and drawbacks of the system in the policy-making
                                     18

 process  are examined.  A  number  of  governmental agencies are concerned
 with the standardization  of  energy analysis procedures. This factor,
 combined with  the  legislation o£ PL 93-577,  increases the likelihood of
 employing  net  energy  analysis which is capable of ameliorating the
 input  into the  decision-Baking  process.  Energy analysis of alternative
 energy supply  technologies is capaole of giving additional information
 of a less  contradictory  nature  to  policy-makers.  Since all processes
 contain  energy  which  cannot  be  substituted for, utilizing it as the
 physical measure of environmental  and social tactors, of material,
 capital, and manpower needs, and of reserve quantities lessens the
 con-junction of  dissimilar elements which cannot be adequately handled
 together.  Dollars  are ineffective  units because their estimates do not
 coaprise environmental or or social costs, frequently blurr the more
 sizable  effects of an action, and  change with time.

and the future state of the environment  has  led a number of  persons  to
advocate a policy of no-growth economy and that we  use  less  energy.
However, many of these sane people also  want the conveniences ot  life
to continue as before. This is a basic failure to realize  that problems
can only be solved through employing an  adequate supply of energy and
materials. What is needed, it seems, is  a plan that contains a
realistic balance of choices needed for  solutions.  Data is presented on
future resource needs and capacity, energy use per  person, both  present
and projected,  our dependence on scrap and recommendations for new and

    (11) ABSTRACT:  This paper was a lecture  delivered  to the  Royal
Society of Arts on Dec. 2, 1974. The lecture deals  with  management and
reutilization of agricultural waste. Four  alternatives are given in
dealing with agricultural waste:  1) Seduce  waste at  source by
iaproving the efficiency of the process; 2)  Use  the waste  from one
process as the raw material for another  process; 3)  Dump the waste and
run the risk of pollution, a very hazardous  course  of  action,  and 4)
Treat the waste before dumping, a last and expensive  and difficult
course of action. As  the cost or raw materials rises  and the magnitude
of environmental pollution increases, eaphasis on reutilization Kill
and should increase. One or toe iaa]or causes tor the  increasing
generation of agricultural *aste is the  inefficiency  of the farmer.
Crop yield, fertilizer utilization, grazing  livestock  units per acre,
etc. can be improved greatly, thus reducing  waste.  Manure  and runoff
are the principal waste of livestock farms.  Hethane can be produced
from manure and be used to produce heat  energy for  livestock buildings.
The residual of the fermentation to produce  methane was a  good source
cf plant nutrients. Use of manure as fertilizer  will  reduce pollution
by runoff and will also conserve energy  and  raw  materials  by replacing
inorganic sources of fertilizer. Straw can be  used  as bedding for
livestock, as feed for ruminants after treating  it  with  sodiun
hydroxide to make it digestible, and it  can  be used industrially to
cake strawboard and paper. Good planning and improved technology will
fce necessary to make  the industrial use  econonical.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  The study or. public and private residential refuse
collection identifies the prevalence and comparative efficiency  (cost
to households) of different  organizational arrangements used to  provide
refuse collection services in netropolitan areas of the United States.
five service arrangements for the collection of nixed residential
refuse are discussed: municipal contract,  franchise, private, and
self-service. Data  on the utilization of these arrangements are
provided,  and the relative efficiency of each arrangement is evaluated.
It is shown that contract collection is significantly lower in cost
than municipal collection. Private firas play a major r°lfc» collecting
residential refuse  in almsot twice as many cities as municipal
agencies.  In cities with a population o± over 50,000, collection by
private firms under contract to the city is significantly more
efficient  than collection by municipal agencies. Policy recommendations
to improve the productivity  of local governments with regard to  refuse
collection and other services are offered, (Retained in SHIRS library).

disposal program is described. Future  plans call for replacing old
landfills with new resource recovery systems designed to produce steam,
electricity, or both, which Detroit  Edison  is willing to purchase. An
economical refuse collection prograa has been initiated which is
replacing three man collection trucks  with  one nan trucks. One nan
trucks are averaging  more  pickup pounds  per day than their three man
counterparts and are  finishing their routes at the same time. Serious
confrontations with two  powerful unions  have been avoided by creating a
new operator class for one maa trucks:  refuse collection packer
operator, which carries  a  aiguer pay rate.

are explained,  including  curb and alley, set-out, set-bacn,  walk-in
service, one-man  collection  systems and mechanical methods.  Smaller
crews  are being used, since  70  percent of the cost of residential
collection is  in  labor. More efficient utilization of solid  waste
collection personnel can  be  ootained by considering handling Methods,
transport methods from  residences to collection vehicles,  methods  of
assigning tasks for  the crews,  and  nuaan-factors, such as  training,  age
of personnel,  wages, and  safety.  Collection methods can be made  more
economical by  using  measurements  of work output and input, comparisons,
better  routing, improved  scheduling,  studies of work incentives, and
good supervision  and administration.  The productivity ot most
collection operations could  be  improved by about 20 percent.

strategies for the commonly used wet and dry weather treatment
processes and their collection systems are described. Wherever
possible, the benefits derived from, as well as the operating problems
associated with, the actual or proposed control strategies are
documented.  Cost/benefit analysis indicates that  aany untried feed
forward aass proportional control schemes are economically attractive
because of the lew payback periods. It is concluded that  despite
current concepts, the smaller (1 to 5 mgd) plants  can afford and  need
greater amounts of automatic control. A lack of reliable  field  proven
analytical sensors for important parameters appears to  be the principal
obstacle impeding the implementation of more sophisticated control
strategies.  Centralized control wita semigraphic  display  should be  used
in treatment plants since it saves on operating labor,  improves
operation, and increases the safety of wastewater  treatment. Automatic
data acquisition systems are cost effective and should  be used  in
•edium and large sized plants. Direct digital control and computerized
control can only be economically justified in large dry weather
treatment plants and large storm water control networks.  (Retained  in

   (11)  ABSTRACT;  The way to cuoose the correct scale systea  for  a
solid waste operation is described. The following  should be  considered:
Jcind of operation (sanitary landfill, transfer and reclamation or
soaiething between the two); type of workload including considerations
for the future; size and weignt of vehicles. Scale size and  capacity
should be considered and, since scales are  designed  to last  20 or  30
years,  future planning should take into account the  probable increase
in road weight allowances. For 20 to 50 daily weighnents at  a  landfill,
a cabinet dial and printer is needed. Readings are taxen directly  and
the printer operates electrically, allowing the entry of additional
information on the ticket. High truck volume calls for a digital
indicator and a card reader. Two platform scales are recommended  for a
type of operation where a variety or services such as reclanation,
transfer or the removal of material is performed,

    (11)  ABSTRACT:  Economic aspects in the achievement of solid waste
 collection  productivity are addressed. In most solid waste management
 systems,  65 to  85  percent ot the total cost of management involves
 collection  costs.  Most  systeaa concentrate on the typical objective of
 picking up  waste on  time and hauling it away. This satisfies
 environmental,  aesthetic, and  continuity of service objectives but it
 does not  fulfill productivity  and cost objectives.  Increased
 productivity  is defined to uean more services collected per hour and
 •ore tons collected  per hour.  A five step improvement process for
 collection  systems has  been developed by the 0.  5.  Environmental
 Protection  Agency. The  steps include:  (1)  review existing policies and
 •ethodoloqies and  alternatives to these; (2)  determine the optimum
 assignment  of daily  collection routes to processing and disposal
 facilities;  (3)  perform districting and route balancing to determine a
 fair day's  work and  divide collection areas into egual workloads for
 each crew;  (4)  determine the route  a collection  vehicle is to follow as
 it  collects waste  from  each service in a specified area; (5)  implement
 changes.  Data are  presented froa an analysis of  crew productivity for
 different crew  sizes, levels of service, eguipment, and collection
 nethodologies.

residential, commercial, and industrial waste are reported.
Consideration is given to the processing of municipal solid waste by
incineration; refuse generation in Paliokee, Florida; Orlando, Florida;
and Siloam Springs, Arkansas; technical aspects of equipment and
incineration plants; plant operation systems; waste loads and charging
rates; characterization of incoming solid waste; residue
characterization; stack emission testing; laboratory analyses of raw
waste and residues; incinerator efficiency; economic aspects of modular
small incinerators; and steam production from small incinerators.
Incinerators examined in the surveys had individual waste burning
capacities of less than 50 tons per day and utilized a controlled air
principle. They operated on a batch feed basis rattier than continuously
over a 2k hr cycle. Due to combustion design and without mechanical or
water-opera ted pollution control devices, gases expelled by the
incinerators into the atmosphere had low particulate readings. Stack
emissions from the tested incinerators ranged from 0. 03 to 0. 08
grains of particulate matter per standard cubic foot of dry flue gas.
The efficiency of thermal processing by the incinerators was excellent.
A waste heat recovery system produced steam from effluent incinerator
qases as they passed through a companion boiler. Capital costs per ton
of design capacity for all buildings, site improvements, and
incinerators  (completely installed) ranged from $9,093 to $9,484 for
straight incinerator plants, tfith energy recovery  (steam production),
costs rose to $17,667 per ton of de-sign capacity. With interest
applied, capital costs accounted ror from $3. 57 to $4. 46 per ton of
waste processed in straight incinerator plants and up to $7. 31 per ton
processed in steam production plants. Operating costs of incinerators
en a per ton processed basis varied considerably. Total annual costs
compared favorably with large-scale plants, ranging rroo $8. 50 to $18.
53 per ton processed for straight incineration to a net of $9. 99 per
ton for steam production plants.

    (11)  ABSTRACT:   Improvements to  the refuse collection system in
 Japan  are recommended  in  a paper presented at the Third Japan-United
 States Governmental Conference on Solid Haste Management in May 1976.
 The refuse management  system is defined to include four steps or
 subsystems:  collection,  transportation, treatment, and final disposal.
 Eefuse collection  is  related to the other three subsystterns, and
 characteristics of Japan's reruse collection system are discussed.
 These  characteristics  are concerned with the direct connection of
 refuse collection  with  city inhaoitants, external restrictions,  and
 high dependency on labor.  A preferred refuse collection system is
 identified as one  that  causes no iirticulty in environmental
 conservation,  is acceptable to majority of city inhabitants, is
 flexible and stable, is  low in cost,  and involves a flexible
 relationship with  other refuse management subsystems.  Improvements to
 the refuse collection  system in Kita-Kyushu City, Japan are noted.
 Immediate and  future improvements to  Japan's refuse collection system
 are delineated.  (Document retained  in SWIHS library)

    (11)  ABSTRACT:  The  adoption  of  computer  technology for the
 assessment  of  waste  water treatment plant performance could provide a
 direct  cost savings.  Manpower  neeas are  reduced.  Corrective actions
 could be  suggested immediately iron the  computer  analysis of plant
 performance.  An  easy  to read program has been developed by the
 University  of  Massachusetts Division of  Hater Pollution Control.  The
 system  includes  an optical scanning form for use  by plant treatment
 operators in  reporting  monthly data and  a program for storage of  data
 and analysis  of  key  operational  parameters.  The reliability of
 treatment plant  performance 13 the  concern of pollution control
 agencies and  consulting engineers.  ttountine  monitoring of plant
 performance has  become  standard.  To carry out this task State
 regulatory  agencies  must DC able  to rapidly  assess plant operations
 frcm  monthly  reports  and plant inspections.  The number of reports
 received  each  month  limits in  depth analysis. At  the present time, data
 collection  and review are performed without  the aid of computer
 technology.   With  a  computer information storage  system the job would
 fce easier.  Consultants  responsible  for  the design of new plants could
 use the information  to  improve these designs.,

    (11) ABSTRACT:  This environmental protection  publication  in  the
solid waste management series presents information on the  na^or
components of commercial refuse collection  systems.  This section
discusses equipment maintenance and  repair  aspects of commercial refuse
collection. Maintenance and repair represent the  largest single
operating expense for a piece of refuse collection equipment.
Ereventive maintenance is an essential aspect of  an  effective
•aintenance program, and should include regularly scheduled  inspections
for each piece of equipment by qualified mechanics,  the  immediate
correction of any problems or incipient failure,  and daily servicing  of
the equipment. A recommended preventive maintenance  program is
presented. Historical records of all the operating and  maintenance
costs should be kept for each vehicle. Sample printouts  for a
computerized vehicle cost accounting system,  called  MAINSTEM,  which  is
used  to provide a report on the operating and maintenance  costs  for
each  vehicle, the budgeted costs, and the per mile costs,  are included.
          maintenance costs will include cleaning, painting,  and
                                     26

welding the container. Container  lire  will depend  on the quality of the
container, the refuse it  is uaed  Lor,  the use it receives, and the
laintenance provided. A surplus  of  10  percent of the total containers
should be kept on hand for service  needs. Container maintenance costs
will generally range from 50 to  100  percent or the initial cost of the
container over its economic life.  (This document is retained in the

    (11) ABSTRACT:  This  is  a  design  proposal for a waste treatment
plant which utilizes the  theory  of  queuing for tne stocking of waste.
In general, the arrival  or  waste at  the management plant cannot be
precisely predicted  due  to  traffic  circumstances. Also, the time
required for treatment  and  disposal  of  wastes is irregular due to the
diverse properties of the i«aste  and  the possibility or the mechanical
Devices for waste  management  encountering unexpected damages.
Considering the above factors, the  new  design for the waste management
center must incorporate  inproveneuts in the stocking capacity of the
waste stock-yard and in  the reparing services for the mechanical
devices. Here, calculations are  introduced for chosing the proper
capacity of the waste stocK-yara, and for the operational costs of the
waste disposal plant.  (Text in Japanese)

    (11) ABSTRACT:  Witn  tr.e improved economy and last development of
heavy industry, urban waste has  greatly changed in its quality and
quantity. The problems  or current waste disposal by incineration must
be solved by developing  au  mproved  incineration technology or
selecting a better waste management  technology. The fluidized  thermal
cracking techniques  mentioned  here  ara  concerned with anti-pollution
aanagement, and cutting  equipment and operation costs. An abstract of
uechanism and characteristics  01 tht fluidized the real-cracxing
technique is presented,  and the  results of a 1974 220-hr consecutive
laboratory test on a fluiaiztd thermal-crack ing incinerator is
reported. The material  furtr.ec rtfers to tne necessity of solving tne
problems of urban  garoage with a tiiyh water content wnich is an
obstacle to the thermal  cracKing technique. (Text in Japanese)

(RCRA)  is critical of tne retast industry. Consequently, the way in
which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)  implements the Act
is being closely watcned oy tnat industry. So far, RCRA implementation
has concentrated on hazardous wastes regulations and improved land
disposal. Later, emphasis should shift to the more complex and long
range ob-jectives of resource oonservat ion. The Resource Conservation
Committee was set up by RC8A to eliminate economic and legal barriers
which prevent L source conservation from being a feasible alternative
for solid waste nanaqement. Tuere are indications that the Committee is
being accorded the priority it deserves by participating agencies and

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Thorough study of solid waste control procedures can
help industries improve their profits. If material is not wasted,  it
does not require collection, storage,  processing, or disposal as waste.
Some waste products have value as raw materials for other
manufacturers, representing aa income to offset waste control expenses.
Establishment of good  waste control practices within the plant can be
achieved by: proper receptacle placement; proper sizing of receptacles;
establishing a collection route; using control equipment to reduce
theft;  reevaluating management procedures; considering subsequent
actions when choosing  container locations; considering horizontal and
vertical clearance, and cost saving movements; investigating labor
costs;  and selecting  compatible equipment. Management responsibility in
identifying hazardous  wastes and their appropriate disposal
requirements is discussed.

systems is becoming  more  feasible rollowing  implementation of the
Fesource Conservation and Recovery  Act  (RCfiA).  Implications of fiCfiA are
that by 1978 environmentally adequate treatment and disposal  of
hazardous waste will  oe  prohiaitively expensive. Producers of suck
wastes are advised to consider constituent recovery and recycling  as  an
economic alternative. Central recovery  facilities, providing the
correct technology,  competent management,  and ongoing improvement
programs can assure: recovery services  at acceptable costs; that
federal water quality standards  are  met;  and,  a reasonable profit  for

    (11) ABSTRACT:  Methods ard  presented for the management and
elimination of solid waste in an  environmentally acceptable manner.
Statistics are reported on trie  generation  of solid waste in the United
States and the use of raw  materials.  Four  methods are noted for turning
waste into productive use: soarce reduction, energy recovery,
recycling, and improved collection.  Components of dolid industrial
waste management are considered to  ue the  same as those for residential
cr conmercial  waste  storage, naaely,  storage, collection, processing,
and disposal.  It is  poiritea out,  however,  that industry aust consider
lore and different alternatives for  nandling and disposing of  its solid
waste. The importance or  economic factors in the management of solid
waste is discussed.  The ecououics 01  recycling are emphasized.
Combustible waste disposal systems,  incineration, energy recovery,  and
resource recovery are cited as  erroits made by various industries to
manage solid waste generation and disposal. Guidelines are outlined for
effective inplant waste management,

                      WASTE REDUCTION AND RESOURCE RECOVERY
 Bust not impinge on the  legitimate  role  of private industry oy forcing
 •arket substitution rather  than  creating new markets. A recent study
 suggests a significant underutilization  of capacity in the scrap
 industry. The Georgia Hdste  Exchange,  a  tree information service wtiere
 interested parties may buy  or  sell  waste Materials, energy sources, and
 used processing equipment,  is  described. In the future, the scrap
 industry must try to corrtct marKetplace economics, seek fair
 competition between sellers  o£ virgin and nanmade resources and promote
 neta! recycling.

   (11) ABSTRACT:  A financially  sound  Kay of examining the business of
scrap  yard is presented.  Tne first  step is to evaluate and audit the
handling equipment;  the  crane,  tha  generator and controller, cable and
reel and the lifting aagnet. The  generator should be matched to the
potential capacity of  the crane.  On.ce the pertormance of each unit is
evaluated, a decision  should be made as to whether a unit should be
replaced, rebuilt or upgraded.  For  yards  handling mixed ferrous and
nonferrous scrap, a  combination grapple and magnet is available. When
all the decisions about  upgrading or replacing have been made, plans
for protecting the investment and profits should be made by setting up
a preventive and corrective  maintenance program.  Inspection and
performance checks should be made monthly. About 40 to 50 percent of
the cost of producing  an end product is in actual handling costs so
shutdown time  through  equipment failure can be ruinous.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Problems affecting the  production and use of
ainerals are examined in relation to resource recovery from municipal
solid wastes. The flow pattern of taaterials  is illustrated  by a global
Materials cycle, and principal causes of materials  supply and demand
imbalances are identified. Major strategies  for the efficient
management of materials aie considered,  including the improvement of
prospecting methods foi mineral deposits,  improvement of mining and
extraction methods, improvement of pollution control technology,
«at€rials conservation in product design,  materials substitution,
functional substitution, and recycling. The  following issues are
discussed in terms of mineral resource recovery:  (1)  priorities for
•unicipal solid waste management policies;  (2)  establishment of
resource recovery systems; (3)  organization  of resource recovery

    (11) ABSTRACT:  A  technological  and  economic  assessnent is made of
alternative means for recovering  waste  ruober in scrap vehicle tires.
The objectives of the assessment  were  to review  various available
technologies and those  potentially  available tor tire recycling and
reuse, to assess the  relative benefits  and costs of each, to identify
the most important barriers  to  increased tire reuse and recycling, to
eake  recomnendations  for tuture technological and economic research,
and to suggest various  policy options  that can be used to promote
greater recycling and reuse  in  a  Banner that will lead to an
improvement of the national  economic welfare. The following rubber
reuse technologies were reviewed: asphalt additives, energy recovery,
carbon black recovery,  retreading,  destructive distillation,  and
reclaiming. The greatest potential  Benefits were considered to occur
with  retreading and asphalt  additives,  followed  by carbon black aud
energy recovery.

    (11)  ABSTRACT:  Engineering of all types relating  to the  corrugated
 tor industry can be a ma-jor ractor in achieving a  lasting  reduction  of
 waste,  not only through uesign of machinery, layout,  and handling
 equipment, but by providing specific information and  recommendations to
 aid management in making optimal decisions concerning box  plant
 facilities and operation. Corrugated Containers Division is  used as  an
 exanple of the effects proper engineering support  can have on  waste
 management. Engineering economic studies, preventive  maintenance
 programs, and training have Been implemented. Inspections  are
 frequently carried out at ti.t; delivery  end of the  corrugator,  as  well
 as all other operations.  Detects can thus be detected at an  warly  stage
 and waste can be eliminated or minimized. Pneumatic waste  conveying
 systems are used to reduce the cost  of  waste handling and  to save  floor
 space.  Special waste surveys are conducted to determine the  waste
 sources, the specific cause, and the guantity of waste, h'ith regard  to
 the corrugator, engineering ractors are  examined including roll  storage

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Haste generated during the production process must
be collected, stored, and transported. The composition and the voluae
of the waste stream will suggest appropriate collection, storage, and
transportation methods. The first step in any plan to recover wastes
should be to examine the industry's wastes and identify recoverable
•aterials. Next the feasibility or recovering certain fractions of the
waste  stream should be determined.  The ability to match a waste stream
with an available market determines the feasibility of secondary
materials recovery. It is essential that the storage, collection, and
transportation system preserve the integrity of the recoverable
material. Haste recovery must not interfere with the production
process.  If management is interested only in the profit and cost
reduction aspects of resource recovery a comparison of revenues
expectations to potential costs may be all that is necessary. If the
motive is to improve community relations a different systems approach
night  be used. A plan for coutainerization, storage, handling, and
transportation systems is needed that is acceptable to management. A
case study illustrates the results of the implementation of a recovery
system for an international manufacturer and marketer of heavy
equipment. The system does reduce the cost of waste handling and
disposal.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  The water industry is faced with an  urgent need  for
energy conservation. Housekeeping uses of  fuel should bt  thoroughly
investigated and measures established which will entail a  relatively
low capital expenditure.  As advanced technology is to a great extent
energy intensive both in building and in operation, technological
improvements are necessary. In sewage disposal where activated sludge
and oxygenation ditches need more energy than the formerly  used  rotary
biological filters, gravity sewers have been replaced by  the small  bore
pumping of sewage long distances to large  -works with high  pumping costs
and in some instances by oxygen injection  to avert the  septicity
created by the long pumping runs. Digested sludge may eventually be
tanked to the land instead of being dumpled into the sea  as fertilizer.
Where surplus methane is available, the scruobing—removal  of carbon
dioxide—of the methane and selling it to engineering works as furnace
beating is beinq considered.

 the  data on  which this projection is based. It  considers the
 process-related solid wastes unique  to the chemical industry.
 liquid-solid slurries and sludges i.ave also been  included due  to the
 inherent association  with solid-waste production.  The study evaluates
 the  significance of these wastes to  the  u. S. economy and environment
 and  evaluates their potential for resource recovery.  Present disposal

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  Discriminatory pricing in the competition between
virgin  and scrap  resources is considered primarily in the. cases of
railroad freight  rates  and energy pricing. Three major inequities are
found in freight  rates:  higher rates for scrap on the average;
allowance for equal percentage increases in rates for virgin and scrap
materials; and the fact  that freight rates are a larger traction of the
total value of scrap materials than for virgin materials. Also, long
haul/short haul and shipping discrimination are noted. Ti«ree points of
view  for more equitable  rate making are reviewed: marginal cost
pricing, demand discrimination or value of service, and equivalency.
Discrimination in the energy market has been mainly by customer or
customer class, with larger customers oargaining for lower rates.
Although marginal cost  pricing is desirable to correct market
inequities between virgin and scrap resources, it is concluded that it
lay not be feasible. (Retained in SWIRS library).

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  This article describes freight payment plan proposed
to the scrap industry by the First American National Bank or Nashville,
Tennessee. Under this plan, first American would act as an agent for
both the shipper and the carrier, serving as a clearinghouse tor all
incoming collect and outgoing prepaid freight bills. First American's
Freight Payment Plan is already serving otiier industrial concerns. The
plan eliminates all the clerical *ork involved in the payment of
freight bills,  automatically complies with all regulations of tne
Interstate Commerce Commission, and furnishes excellent proof of
payment information. The plan is available tor a service ree of 5
dollars per month. A computerised statement ot the automatic freight
payments is provided to the participant once a month. An automatic
credit for any incorrect payment is awarded following the return of a
simple correction form to tne bann. This feature can save many hours of
effort and months of delay in collecting on freight claims. The plan
can result in significant savings in terms of money, time, and effort
aad can give recycling firms signiricant leverage in dealing with the
various carriers.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  this article presents a  discussion of solid waste
disposal problems encountered by industrial plants  aiid  institutions.
Major difficulties in the solid waste handling  include  how to move it
from where it is generated, how to  get  it  into  centralized containers,
and hou dispose of it. It is suggested  that there  is more waste in the
handling of waste than in any other  plant  operation.  Combustion of
organic wastes at the plant site, with  or  without  heat  recovery,  offers
cost savings in the fora ot reduced  hauling costs.  Kany plants have
highly inefficient systems for aoving wastes from  generation sites to
central storage areas. A materials  nandling specialist  should be
consulted when the solid waste handling system  is  being examined  and
improved. Data should be collected  on the  solid waste volumes, density,
and composition and on current disposal costs.  Pyrolysis provides a
highly efficient method for disposing of solid  wastes and for
recovering energy resources from wastas.

   (11)  ABSTRACT:  The experience or Lincoln County,  aaine,  in dealing
with rural solid waste is described. There the National  Wildlife
Federation confronted the specific  problems of a community,  analyzed
the problems and alternate approaches,  and discussed  theia with the
citizens of the community. Solid  waste  management has  consisted  of tona
duaps which have open burning, inrrtguent supervision, and violation of
various state and Federal regulations.  After inspection  of tiie dumps, a
strategy was designed to improve  the solid waste disposal system
through public meetings of decision  makers and coamunity involved
citizens and through exposure of  the problem and possible solutions to
the general public.  Tnese educational efforts concentrated on defining
the scope of the problem, telling wny changes in tne  system  were
iminent, and describing the kind of changes being considered. The
overall goal was a  long term solution.  After voiciLg  much concern  with
economics and need  for technical  assistance, the county's decision
Bakers and citizens were convinced  of the need for cnange and were left
with the infornation on alternatives to  be considered. (Retained in

   (11)  ABSTRACT:   Public education  to promote cooperation in waste
reduction is discussed. The need for good public relations in waste
management is recognized.  The Clean  Community Systems (CCS)  advocates
public involvement.  CCS is sponsored by Keep America Beautiful lac.
(KAB) . The CCS  is being impleaented  by 29 cities and involves every
sector of local life including government, business, schools, the
media, and citizen groups.  A »ain aim of the system is  to change  public
attitudes towards responsibility for cleanliness.  Research has shown
that there is a network of 'njrms'  governing littering  that makes it
permissible to  carelessly discard trash and that more than talf the
trash  comes from sources other than  pedestrians and motorists. The CCS
campaign is aimed at those in a position to make decisions about  how
waste  is handled,  and at those who observe litteriny but do not want to
take any action. Four components are used to encourage  cooperation,
updated ordinances,  improved technology,  continuous education, and
sensible enforcement. An example of  the application of  these methods is
given  from Charlotte, North Carolina, and another that  involved army
help to remove  junked cars in Accomac County, Virginia.  Surveys are
taken  to determine behavior patterns regarding waste disposal. An

accurate measure ot waste reduction is needed and the Photometric Index
of litter accumulation was designed for KAB. The cost of  operating the
system is low, within $3,000 to 35,000. Each community sends  a  three
lember project team to KAti's training worKshop. Business  contributes
expertise to the CCS and civic organizations have also supported  the
CCS. The results in test cities have been remarkable.

    (11) ABSTRACT;  A representative  of  the League of Women Voters
discusses hazardous  waste management at a  public meeting held by the
Environmental  Protection  Agency  on  December 9,  1975 in Houston,  Texas.
The  league supports  the efforts  of  the  Texas Water Quality Board and
the  Texas Air  Control  Board  to enforce  antipollution lavs. Emphasis is
placed on the  threat posed by the  indiscrininate and unsupervised
disposal of hazardous  waste  to public health and to tne environaent.
Documented cases of  ground water contamination  are cited,  and estimates
on the cost of  correcting the problem are  provided. The league believes
that the increasing  amount of hazardous waste being produced by
industry, agriculture,  government,  hospitals, and laboratories reguires
that a program  for managing  hazardous waste be  developed.  Its position
on the environment states that the  Federal government should establish
policies and programs  to  increase  the demand for secondary materials in
crder to encourage recycling of  waste and  reduce the generation of
solid waste. Basic concerns  in tee  management of hazardous waste are
outlined. The  use  of public  hearings on the siting of hazardous waste
