Book excerpt: This study investigated the relationship between aircraft related maintenance activity and the amount of hazardous waste (HW) disposed of by Air Force Materiel Command's (AFMC) Air Logistic Centers (ALC). These ALCS, along with the Aircraft Guidance and Meteorology Center, generate approximately 76 percent of the HW generated by the Air Force. The activity indexing and least squares curve fitting methods were used to predict the amount of HW that would have been disposed of based on the relative level of aircraft related maintenance activity had no pollution prevention efforts been implemented. These predictions were then compared to what historically occurred as the measure of pollution prevention progress. The results indicated that there is a moderate to strong correlation between HW disposal and aircraft related maintenance activity at five of the six bases studied. The activity indexing method based on an average ratio of HW to maintenance activity, and the method of fitting a least squares regression line through the origin were determined to be the most useful methods of measuring pollution prevention progress at the ALCS.

C Cushnie (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hazardous waste disposal costs have risen dramatically in recent years, making the volume of sludge generated by industrial waste treatment nearly as important as the quality of the effluent water. Because of the magnitude of the Air Force's aircraft maintenance mission, over a billion gallons of mixed industrial wastewater require treatment each year. The result of this operation is tens of thousands of tons of hazardous sludge requiring disposal. This project was initiated to examine treatment technologies that could reduce this sludge disposal burden. In addition to volume, factors such as operator expertise required, system operating and maintenance costs, and the ability of a given technology to treat a mixed industrial waste stream were considered. Available technologies were first screened from literature and then those deemed most promising were subjected to laboratory scale testing. The results of the literature search, laboratory testing, and a contractor suggested R & D program direction are reported in three volumes, as follows: Volume III: Heavy Metal Waste Treatment Research and Development Needs was based on a survey of Navy electroplating and waste treatment facilities, but encompasses both ongoing and planned research projects among all three major service branches. By extending the project to other than strictly Air Force facilities, the contractor was able to suggest a coordinated R & D program eliminating redundancy among the three branches.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 1298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities and Their Vital Systems asks basic questions about the longevity, utility, and nature of urban infrastructures; analyzes how they grow, interact, and change; and asks how, when, and at what cost they should be replaced. Among the topics discussed are problems arising from increasing air travel and airport congestion; the adequacy of water supplies and waste treatment; the impact of new technologies on construction; urban real estate values; and the field of "telematics," the combination of computers and telecommunications that makes money machines and national newspapers possible.
