Disposal of sandy pipeline dredge spoils by end dumping

Creator:: Pyles, Marvin Russell
Abstract:: Channel maintenance operations in the rivers and harbors of the United States annually require the disposal of over 320 million cubic meters of dredge spoils. As the availability of suitable land sites diminishes, open water disposal presents an attractive yet controversial alternative method. For open water disposal to be acceptable,...

A physical oceanographic study of the nearshore zone at Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Keene, Donald Frederick
Abstract:: The nearshore zone at Newport, Oregon was studied during the period September, 1968 to August, 1969. Particular emphasis was placed on those physical factors affecting the distribution of pulp mill wastes discharged within the study area (referred to as Yaquina Bight in this thesis). Temperatures and seawater samples were obtained...

Prediction of Initial Mixing for Municipal Ocean Discharges

Creator:: Teeter, Allan M. and Baumgartner, D. J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this report is to present procedures by which applicants and reviewers can calculate initial dilution and describe the zone of initial dilution surrounding the discharge site. These calculations would be required under regulations proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on April 25, 1978 (1) implementing section...

Toxicity of pulp mill wastes to selected marine organisms and the characterization of the biological communities in the vicinity of a proposed ocean outfall for pulp mill wastes at Coos Bay, Oregon.

Creator:: Caldwell, Richard S., Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, and Oregon State University. Department of Fisheries and Wildlife
Abstract:: This report summarizes a study which sought to provide toxicity data for pulp mills near Coos Bay through a series of toxicity bioassays. The study also surveyed benthic and beach fauna to identify macro-organisms so individual assessments of water quality requirements could be made.
Resource Type:: Technical Report
Full Text:: ocean outfall for waste disposal is motivated by the in- creasing concern for the environmental effects

Disposal of municipal wastes on sandy soil : effect on plant nutrient uptake

Creator:: Cottrell, Nancy McCombs
Abstract:: Solid municipal waste was applied to Sagehill sand at rates of 0, 100, 200, and 400 tons/acre (0, 67, 133, and 267 tons dry matter). Sewage sludge (2% solids) was applied at 55 gallons per ton of solid waste. Hyslop winter wheat was planted as a cover crop in October...

Movement of elemental constituents in sagehill loamy sand treated with municipal waste

Creator:: Halvorson, Gary Alfred
Abstract:: Metropolitan solid wastes and sewage sludges present a serious disposal problem for many communities. To assess the feasibility of disposal or utilization of these waste products on soils, a study was initiated to evaluate plant growth and soil elemental interactions on a loamy fine sand treated with metropolitan waste. Shredded...

Refractory metals processing waste utilization on Dayton silty clay loam soil

Creator:: Polson, Richard Lewis
Abstract:: Waste products from industry have often been disposed in landfills without regard for any beneficial uses of the product in agricultural production. This research was conducted to determine the effect of a refractory metal processing waste product on (a) soil chemical and physical properties, (b) perennial ryegrass forage quality and...

Nitrogen and heavy metal distribution in soils utilized as sludge disposal sites

Creator:: Prothero, Gary Lewis
Abstract:: Metropolitan areas today must dispose large volumes of sewage sludge produced during the wastewater treatment process. This research was conducted to study the effect of large applications of municipal sewage sludge on (a) the distribution of N and trace elements (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn) in the soil profile,...

Subsurface disposal of domestic septic effluent in a haploxeralf soil in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Silvernale, Alexandra
Abstract:: Experimental Drainfields: Standard subsurface sewage disposal systems, gravity loaded and 60 cm deep on slopes above 15% did not show signs of effluent surfacing after 14 months of operation. However, subsurface signs of failure were found on both the experimental sites and on older drainfields established in identical soils. Evidence...
