IES Webinar: Land & Groundwater Remediation Options & Scoping - The Decision ...IES / IAQM
Model Procedures provide a framework for making decisions about land contamination risks and are a useful resource which offer a lot of detail leading up to, and after, remediation. The remediation stage is often a significant and complicated financial commitment for any project, however the design and delivery of a project gets minimal attention in CLR11. There is a wealth of guidance on specific remediation techniques, some of which is outdated. Therefore, the process can be fraught with uncertainty and a lack of evidence on how the remediation strategy was developed can lead to a lack of confidence in it. This process needs to be open and transparent and stakeholders need to be fully engaged throughout the entire process.
During this webinar, Martin presents an overview and worked examples of the process when undertaken in accordance with best practice principals.
At the Asia Clean Energy Forum 2016 Ricardo Energy & Environment’s waste management and resource efficiency experts discussed a range of critical issues, including financial, institutional, policy, regulatory, engineering, environmental and social issues around the planning for and delivery of appropriate and effective waste to energy infrastructure in developing economies.
In this presentation Phil White discusses the environmental impacts of waste treatment.

MEE 5901, Advanced Solid Waste Management
Unit VII Assignment
This assignment will allow you to demonstrate the following objectives:
· Assess the political environment as it relates to solid waste and solid waste management.
· Summarize laws and standards related to solid waste management.
Instructions: The siting of a landfill is always contentious in a community due to operational issues with traffic and odors, and if you live close to the landfill you may deal with a decline in property values. Landfills will eventually generate leachate that can adversely impact the environment if the liner is breached, bringing toxicity to vegetation and contamination to ground water. Having a properly operating landfill can minimize many of these impacts to citizens and to the environment. This assignment will further explore these topics.
Answer the questions directly on this document. When you are finished, select “Save As,” and save the document using this format: Student ID_Unit# (ex. 1234567_UnitI). Upload this document to BlackBoard as a .doc, docx, or .rtf file. The specified word count is given for each question. At a minimum, you must use your textbook as a resource for these questions. Other sources may be used as needed. All material from outside sources (including your textbook) must be cited and referenced in APA format. Please include a reference list after each question.
1) A community generates 225 metric tonnes of municipal solid waste per year.
a. What is the actual average annual production of methane that a community should expect from the landfill operation in BTU per year? (For Part A, show all of your work.)
b. What are the factors, laws, or standards that can limit the amount of methane production in the landfill? (Your total response for Part B should be at least 200 words.)
2) Use the treatment options in Table 8-11 (pg. 357) that lists biological and physical/chemical operations for treating leachate generated from a landfill to answer the following questions. (Your total response for all parts of this question should be at least 300 words.)
a. Recommend a treatment train that uses one biological and one physical chemical operation. Provide your reason for making this recommendation.
b. In what order would you put these units? Describe your reasoning for your prescribed order.
c. If your proposed treatment scheme does not meet the prescribed permit discharge limits for the facility, what post-treatment technology would you recommend to ensure that discharge limits are met. Provide your reasons for your technology selection.
d. For each part of the question, be sure to explain what law and standards factor into your recommendation or reasoning.
3) Leachate and Groundwater Monitoring
a. Why are landfills designed to have a leachate head of 12 inches on the liner? If the leachate head had the potential to build to 24 inches, what is a simple design technique that could relieve the hydraulic pressure on the liner ...
The year 2016 was a turning point in the way China deals with soil pollution.

This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.
The of solid waste has become an increasingly important global issue over the last decade due to the escalating growth in world population and large increase in waste production. This increase in solid waste generation poses numerous questions concerning the adequacy of conventional waste management systems and their environmental effects. Landfill disposal is the most generation commonly waste management method worldwide. Modern landfills are well-engineered facilities that are located, designed, operated, and monitored to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Solid waste landfills must be designed to protect the environment from contaminants which may be present in the solid waste stream. The landfill siting plan prevents the siting of landfills in environmentally-sensitive areas while on-site environmental monitoring systems monitor for any sign of groundwater contamination and for landfill gas, and provides additional safeguards. In addition, many new landfills collect potentially harmful landfill gas emissions and convert the gas into energy.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Reduced odours & vermin
water infiltration reduced
Can capture leachate & gas
Isolate/protect the ground water and reduced impacts to surface water
Lift method employed > allows for compaction, small surface area
is active = better use of capacity and less cover and less odour
Cost (may be higher cost during operations but long term costs
mitigated)
Stability of slopes for closure – reduced breakout
Ministry of the Environment – unofficial - for

6. The ministry and you … “one window”
Cornwall Area Office (most offices) assign Environmental Officers based on
geographic areas. The local office (EO) should be your first point of contact
for questions and discussions.
Environmental Approvals Branch (EAB): review ECA applications and
issue approvals. Sometimes they will be in direct contact with the Township
or consultants to resolve questions. EAB also contacts the local EO for input
(examples – tree coverage, alternative cover, odour issues..)
Technical Support Staff (hydro geologist, surface water specialist, Air
Scientist, Pesticide Officer): This group review annual reports and monitoring
programs upon request of the EO (reports to go to the District Office and then
will be forwarded). If consultation will be beneficial to address significant
issues or changes being contemplated – it is arranged through your EO

7. The Ministry and Landfill Owners/Operators
The ministry regulates through legislation and confirms
compliance through:
“one window” approach to provide local knowledge

inspection programs
Review of Reports
Address on complaints
Local ministry staff provide feed back for approvals
Conduct Inspections
Available to answer questions and provide information
The ministry may require work to be done in control documents
issued OR as a result of inspection findings. The Owner conducts
the work, or retains a consultant (depending on site, work etc.)

Hazardous Materials:
legislation dictates what wastes are “hazardous” or “subject waste”
Approval will dictate what can be disposed at a given WDS.
Municipal policy may dictate what they choose to accept (dead
animals, asbestos)
Operational Requirements (Daily Cover/Burning): required in
Approval and in legislation but a municipality may look at alternatives
because of local issues, costs, materials available.

When is waste exempted from Part V?
The regulation lists what wastes can be exempted – and under what circumstance.
For example: agricultural waste; inert fill; recovered wire/metal (but no combustion
allowed); clean wood intended for mulch; e-waste with conditions; asphalt; compost
(where it meets ECA or Regulation criteria).
Municipalities may generate some waste (or become aware of waste handling by
private sector) that might be exempt form Part V of the EPA. Inert material, asphalt,
and asphalt shingles are examples of “construction type wastes” that might be
exempt and can be diverted from landfill.
“recyclable” waste is also addressed through this exemption section: municipal
waste, consisting solely of waste from a single category of waste set out in
Schedule 1, 2 or 3 of Ontario Regulation etc……
