T The Bridge Between Research and Use SSZZ U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY MAY 1976 NEW MUNICIPAL SEMINAR PUBLICATION- "LAND TREATMENT OF MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER EFFLUENTS" Anew Technology Transfer municipal seminar publication has been printed and is now available for distribution. The publication, en- titled "Land Treatment of Municipal Wastewater Effluents," consists of three separate volumes: Design Factors I, Design Factors II, and Case Histories. The information included in this publication was developed for the Technology Transfer Seminar Series on Land Treatment by Metcalf and Eddy Engineers, Palo Alto, Cali- fornia; CH2M/HiII, Denver, Colorado; Culp, Wesner, and Culp, El Dorado Hills, California; and Michigan State University. For your copy of this publication, use the order form at the back of this Newsletter. Land Treatment of Municipal Wastewater Effluents Design Factors-I "LOGGING ROADS AND WATER QUALITY" LATEST TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER BROCHURE A brochure discussing practices of minimizing water quality impact due to logging road activity is now available from Technology Transfer. This publication was prepared by EPA's Region X, Seattle, Washington, and addresses good and bad management practices pertaining to logging roads. There are over 250,000 miles of logging EPA Technology Transfer Seminar Publication JilN.-1.i976 LOGOUtO MAM watthir ------- roads just in the Pacific Northwest and an additional 12,000 miles per year of these roads are being constructed or reconstructed.

WATER REUSE CONFERENCE Technology Transfer, in cooperation with the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, is cosponsoring the Third National Conference on Complete Water Reuse to be held June 27-30, 1976, at the Netherland Hilton Hotel in Cincin- nati, Ohio. The theme of this year's Conference is: "Symbiosis as a Means of Abatement for Multi-Media Pollution." Symbiosis is the association of two or more dissimilar entities when such an association is mutually beneficial. An example of a simplistic symbiotic approach would be the use of a process wastewater effluent, either with or without treatment, as the influent to another wastewater-producing process. In this situation, the symbiotic approach would reduce the total process raw water demand and the possible requirement to treat two process wastewater effluents. The economics of control could be greatly modified by this approach. For further details on paper write or tele- phone: Lawrence K.

This revision was prepared in order to incor- porate information on newly developed and demonstrated techniques and to include subse- quent experience gained and data produced on those methods covered in the initial edition of this manual. In addition, a description of an EPA computer model for evaluating 22 alterna- tive phosphorus removal strategies is included as an appendix to the manual. This model reports to the user the total cost of a selected strategy for removing phosphorus. The contractor used in completing this revision was Shimek, Roming, Jacobs and Finklea of Dallas, Texas. If you have already requested the revised edition of this manual, it will automatically be forwarded to you. If you have not so requested, and desire a copy, please use the order form opposite this page. NEW INDUSTRIAL SEMINAR PUBLICATION AVAILABLE The latest industrial seminar publication, pre- pared by JACA Corp. and entitled "Choosing the Optimum Financial Strategy for Pollution Control Investments," has been printed and is now available for distribution. This publication is intended to alert decision makers to the availability of and qualifications for some of the financing incentives from federal, state, and local governments, and to demonstrate that it is well worth spending time analyzing the special methods of financing pollu- tion control expenditures and the available tax treatments. Obtaining optimum financial and tax benefits could save a company tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the equip- ment. This publication shows the businessman the type of financial analysis that should be ac- corded any type of pollution control expendi- ture in an effort to substantially reduce funds expended and to smooth out what could de- velop into a cash flow trauma. It also contains a discussion of the tax and financing positions of three hypothetical firms with different manage- ment goals but with similar capital expenditures for pollution control. A separate financial analysis is presented specifically for firms which have a choice of wastewater treated onsite or by a municipality.
