The past solutions that we researched were dealing with the Valleycrest Landfill Superfund Site and the Powell Road Landfill. The first past solution that we researched about was the Valleycrest Landfill Superfund Site. The Valleycrest Landfill site is 100 acres and it is separated into two sections by Valleycrest Drive: the east and west section. The Valleycrest Landfill is located on 950 Brandt Pike in Dayton, Ohio, right above the Great Miami Aquifer. This aquifer is the sole source of…

When people mention the state of Michigan there is nothing really positive that comes to mind because as a whole, the state is not doing very well for itself. Especially with Flint, Michigan being all over the news because of the unsafe water issue, most people think of it as another issue going on in the already suffering state. People fail to realize that Flint; Michigan was actually a thriving city at one point because it is where General Motors was founded. The nation fails to realize that…

South Sudan’s Water Story Water is a necessity for all, yet only a limited amount of people have access to water in South Sudan. Even in that limited amount of people, a fraction of them have access to potable water. Only nineteen countries in Africa are estimated to meet the Millennium Development Goals (Saliu). Oftentimes, the people of South Sudan are forced to consume contaminated water thus this water and sanitation crisis consequently resulted in 400,000 water-related deaths in Africa…

Another motivation for the renovation of Paris was the “putrid” condition of the city’s waste systems, which filled the streets with garbage, horse manure, and human waste. Essentially, the medieval system of garbage disposal was to deposit it on the street on the Seine. Haussmann and Napoleon II sought to create massive sewage systems to remedy this form of waste management policy, which sought to reduce poor hygiene and the transmission of disease throughout the city. The premise of a new…

hydrochloric acid, calcium oxide etc which is potentially unsafe to purge directly into the environment. Sludge by waste water treatment: The significant solid wastes such as lime mud, lime slaker grits, green liquor dregs, boiler and furnace ash, scrubber sludges, wood processing residuals and wastewater treatment sludges are generated from different mills by wastewater treatment.

All households that have been identified by UASs as having straight pipe discharge is potential household for conducting socioeconomic study. We will use a simple random sampling method to select the interview respondent so that each social actor (in this case each household) in the neighborhood will have equal probability of being interviewed. Depending on the number of households, we will interview 20 -30 percent households that has straight pipe. We will also include about the same number of…

burning, pain, cramping, nausea, and liver toxicity. Some other significant side effects include kidney impairment, fluid retention, blood clot, heart attacks, hypertension, and heart failure. In recent studies, rainbow trout living near wastewater treatment plants were exposed to diclofenac.^5 Rainbow trout that were exposed to this drug appreciated a buildup of the drug itself and its metabolites in their bile. Other than diclofenac’s effect on rainbow trout, it has induced tubular necrosis in…

The Chattahoochee River, Georgia’s most heavily-used water source, is home to a variety of fish and a supplier of over 70% of the drinking water in metro Atlanta; it was also ranked number three on America’s ‘most endangered’ list. Each day, more than 250 million gallons of sewage waste water is dumped in to river, so news that the river is constantly contaminated with E. coli is no surprise. Even with the vast amount of contamination, Georgia allows the dumping of waste to continue; they give…

In the case study of Gilbane Gold, David Jackson, the engineer responsible for waste treatment in Z-Corp, was put in a very difficult situation. In the beginning, David was getting results from Frank’s waste water discharge tanks that showed that they have been releasing arsenic and lead at higher levels than what the city allows. The waste water ends up into the popular and profitable sludge product called Gilbane Gold. Gilbane Gold is sold as a fertilizer to farmers for about 75 years. David…

Summer of 2014, my life was changing quite a bit. As I come back from my first year at school in U.S. and more than prepared to live away from home, I pack my bags and go to São Paulo. Although it is very close to my hometown, Santos, it was still a great change: new swim club, new city, new friends. São Paulo it is much known to be a complete chaos: anywhere with 12 million habitants has to be at least somehow different. With too many people comes too many problems: air and river pollution,…
