This year's program offers three optional tours.
EPA's Center Hill Research Facility for Hazard-
ous Waste and In-Situ Remediation Research
This facility is a RCRA-permitted Treatment, Stor-
age, and Disposal Facility (TSDF) which provides
EPA-Cincinnati laboratories and Regions the capa-
bility to perform a range of bench/pilot scale R&D
activities. The facility focuses on geotechnical
aspects of remediation, but has analytical and
biological activities. In-house research efforts are
being pursued in the bio-availability and specia-
tion of lead, age deterioration of geomembranes,
and Fenton's and Ti02 reactions. Cooperative
research efforts with public and private sector
organizations can be effected through CRADAS,
cooperative or contractual mechanisms.
EPA's Test and Evaluation (T&E) Facility This
facility is a RCRA-permitted TSDF which provides
EPA-Cincinnati laboratories the capability to per-
form a broad range of bench and pilot plant-scale
R&D activities. The flexibility of T&E operations
accommodates studies of both conventional and
listed toxic and hazardous wastes in soils, air and
liquid matrixes. Cooperative research efforts with
private and public sector organizations can be
effected through several different cooperative
agreement or contract arrangements.
Cincinnati Water Works A tour of Cincinnati
Water Work's granular activated carbon (CAC)
treatment facility at the Richard Miller Treatment
Plant is planned. At the CAC treatment plant,
conventionally treated water is passed through
GAC contactors to remove a broad spectrum of
organic substances. Guided tours of facilities
within the plant will be provided.
The fee for each tour is $8.00, which includes
transportation. This fee will be collected onsite
when you register at the tour sign-up desk. More
information will be provided at the symposium.
