Environmental Regulations Reconsidered : Identifying Incentives and Barriers to Environmental Performance

Creator:: Craig, Kathleen D.
Abstract:: Attention has been drawn to the observation that environmental benefits under the current regulatory approaches are diminishing with respect to increased pollution control costs. Regulators have begun to appreciate that while environmental gains can still be achieved under the current command and control system, the most significant environmental gains have...

A formal model of construction safety and health risk management

Creator:: Hallowell, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Despite recent efforts to improve site safety, construction still accounts for a disproportionate injury and illness rate. According to the 2007 injury and illness data released by the National Safety Council, the construction industry has a fatality and disabling injury rate that is approximately three times higher than the all-industry...

The control and fate of enteric bacteria in the environment with particular emphasis on the factors influencing fecal indicator survival in waste storage facilities

Creator:: Crane, Stuart R.
Abstract:: The indiscriminate release of fecal bacteria to the environment can present a public health hazard when pathogenic species gain access to drinking and recreational water sources. The extent of bacterial contamination of surface and ground waters associated with animal production units and waste application areas seems largely dependent on the...

Predicting nitrate concentrations in leachate resulting from land application of wastewater onto various crop systems including poplars

Creator:: Motte, Marie Quitterie
Abstract:: Land application of industrial wastewater with high levels of nitrogen requires adequate management practices to prevent groundwater pollution by nitrates. In this study a predictive computerized model was developed for nitrate leachate concentrations resulting from land application of wastewater onto crop systems including poplars. The study included a literature review,...

Assessing the effectiveness and environmental impacts of using natural flocculants to manage turbidity

Creator:: Kegley, Laura J.
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to determine the feasibility of using chitosan as a natural flocculant to control turbidity during in-stream construction work. A series of field tests in Oak Creek, Corvallis, OR were conducted in order to test the effectiveness for turbidity control and the environmental impacts of...

Evaluating dairy waste management systems ̓influence on fecal coliform concentration in runoff

Creator:: Grismer, Mark Edward
Abstract:: This paper examines the environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers...

Optimal mixture of road network ownership

Creator:: Li, Mingxin
Abstract:: The present highway funding system, especially fuel taxes, may become less reliable revenue sources in the future, while the transportation public agencies do not have the sufficient financial resources needed to meet the increasing traffic demand. Regarding the socio-economic impact of road privatization, a wide range of approaches and models...

Reducing sediment production from forest roads during wet-weather use

Creator:: Toman, Elizabeth Myers
Abstract:: Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...

Assessment of Environmental Impacts of Wood Substitution in Commercial Construction

Creator:: Milaj, Kristina
Abstract:: In the residential sector, wood is the predominant construction material. In the commercial sector and in mid‐rise construction, the use of wood is limited because of a multitude of reasons, including building code restrictions, the perception of wood as a structural material, fire code requirements, and lack of knowledge and...
