Comprehensive Sludge Study Relevant to Section 8002(g) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976

摘要

The executive summary which follows provides the findings from a report, 'A Comprehensive Sludge Study,' prepared by SCS Engineers, addressing those items as described under Section 8002(g) of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The report should provide information useful to Congress, private industry, states, and municipalities in planning for and developing environmentally sound disposal methods for pollution control residuals and solid wastes generated from new energy source processes. It is only through the broadening of our present knowledge of the sources of wastes, their composition and quantity, and problems which have arisen through past disposal practices, that the dangers from the improper management of solid and hazardous wastes can be recognized and diminished.
