A computer model is developed to estimate the initial investment and annual operating costs of feedlot runoff control systems. Costs are estimated for complete control systems consisting of a retention pond, settling basin, clean water diversion-runoff collection structures, disposal site, and an irrigation system. The model requires design inputs and...
More and more, modern society is incorporating the use of radioactive materials into everyday uses. And with society using more radioactive materials, the odds of it being accidentally disposed of into the solid waste stream increases.

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...
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...
