Abstract |
Basic environmental criteria were studied for disposal of selected waste materials, including sewage treatment plant sludge, maintenance dredgings, power plant fly ash, and filter plant residues. Both land and ocean disposal alternatives were examined in terms of a general solution for 2 broad regions, namely the Great Lakes Megalopolis and Milwaukee to Buffalo and the Atlantic Coast Megalopolis from Boston to Norfolk. Present methods and costs of disposal have been included to complete the picture of the overall waste disposal problem. (WRSIC abstract) |
