Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifies technologies available for organic hazardous waste cleanup at wood-treating sites throughout the country. Focuses on the Texarkana Wood Preserving Co. Superfund Site in Texas. Tables show which kinds of remedy selections have been used at other Superfund wood-treating sites around the country (destruction technologies, separation and concentration technologies, and immobilization technologies and institutional controls). Information is given about the sites along with the reasoning for why a certain remedy was chosen. Bibliography. Charts and tables.

Book excerpt: N 1994 the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) was asked to evaluate technical alternatives to incineration for cleaning up the Texarkana Wood Preserving Company Superfund site, in Texarkana, Texas. The 25-acre site, a former wood-treating facility in Bowie County, Texas, became an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund site in 1986 (27). Wood products had been treated there with preservative chemicals over many decades. These activities left behind chemical preservatives as contaminates in soil, sludge, sediment, and groundwater. Using information available i the late 1980s, the EPA selected incineration in a 1990 record of decision (ROD) to clean up soil, sludge, and sediments contaminated with wastes from wood-treating activities at Texarkana. However, public opposition has prevented incineration from being used at this site. Recently EPA funds that had been allocated to building and operating an incinerator were returned, and today the only work at the site is ongoing environmental monitoring and interim analyses. OTA was asked to find and evaluate possible alternatives to incineration that might be more acceptable to residents who live nearby. This report identifies technologies available for organic hazardous waste cleanup at wood-treating sites throughout the country. OTA has identified a range of such technologies that have been selected in the past and could be applied to other sites in the future. OTA has not recommended specific technologies for the Texarkana Wood Preserving Company site. The applicability of a technology to a particular Superfund site has to be based on many site-specific factors. Nevertheless, it is clear that a number of the approaches identified by OTA may be appropriate and could prove useful if more detailed site-specific studies and tests were done. Although this study focused on the Texarkana site, decisionmaker.

Book excerpt: In the 1990s, creosote was discovered under a residential neighborhood in Manville, NJ. Creosote, a mixture of chemicals, is used to preserve wood products. Creosote may cause cancer. Creosote from a former wood-treatment facility had contaminated soil and groundwater at the site. EPA worked with the Army Corps of Engineers to clean up the site. As of May 2009, total site costs were almost $340 million and remedial construction costs had exceeded original estimates. This report examined: (1) how EPA assessed risks and selected remedies for the site; (2) what factors contributed to the difference between the estimated and actual costs; and (3) how EPA and the Corps divided responsibilities for site work. This is a print on demand report.

This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new Handbook provides a series of reference guides to cleaner production methods, technologies, and practices for key industry sectors. Each volume covers, for each industry sector: * the manufacturing technologies * waste management * pollution * methods for estimating and reporting emissions * treatment and control technologies * worker and community health risk exposures * cost data for pollution management * cleaner production and prevention alternatives Best Practices in the Wood and Paper Industries provides an overview of the forestry, wood preserving, pulp and paper industries and identifies the key environmental aspects, supported by case studies of major incidents. It provides general explanations of the major unit operations and processes in pulp and paper mills and wood treating plants, covering new trends alongside traditional methods. The environmental issues regarding air, water and solid waste are all addressed, identifying all US plants and their TRI data, and the authors provide calculation methods for properly accounting for air emissions and P2 practices to reduce them. Provides guidelines on cleaner production and pollution prevention practices for improving overall environmental performance Discusses emerging technologies and processes for cleaner air Contains an Inventory of Chemical Toxicity Properties
