      <title>DREDGING AMERICA'S WATERWAYS AND HARBORS--MORE INFORMATION NEEDED ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES: CORPS OF ENGINEERS (CIVIL FUNCTIONS). DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY</title>

      <title>TRANSPIRATION AND EVAPORATION OF SEWAGE EFFLUENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/69761</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Treatment of liquid wastes from roadside comfort stations with relatively small, transient effluent volumes often involves prohibitive operation and maintenance costs. Also, existing lagoons and septic tanks may be unable to meet new state and federal restrictions on waste discharges. Therefore, experiments were conducted to develop practical, zero-discharge procedures for utilizing the evapotranspiration phenomenon to dispose of sewage effluent. Two separate experiments were conducted. In the first experiment, impervious evapotranspiration units were constructed in rectangular excavations. Both raw domestic waste and settled domestic waste were pumped into or sprayed onto the units, and the evapotranspiration rate was determined through a water balance. In the second experiment, effluent from a two-stage lagoon was sprayed on an area vegetated with grass and shrubs. Results indicate that the operation of a well-designed, lagoon-fed spray irrigation system will be an economical, ecologically-sound method for disposing of liquid wastes from roadside rest areas.]]></description>

      <title>REST AREA WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30074</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The continued development of the interstate highway rest areas has emphasized the need for improved water supply and wastewater treatment systems. An analysis of the rest area usage provided information regarding the quantity and quality of wastewater as well as the variation in wastewater flow. This information has been used to evaluate potential wastewater treatment systems for rest areas. Process stability under widely fluctuating loadings, simplicity of operation and aesthetic qualities were the major criteria used to evaluate the systems. A summary of the reports on Phase 1 and 2 of this project is presented.]]></description>

      <title>EVALUATION OF MTF FOR TESTING HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SPILL CONTROL EQUIPMENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/23914</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Mississippi Test Facility (MTF), Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, is evaluated as a potential location for safely testing and demonstrating equipment designed to control hazardous materials spills. The study includes an examination of all factors, which influence the selection of an appropriate site, with special emphasis on the assured protection of the environment. Within the identified constraints, three candidate areas were selected for more detailed investigation: the Northeastern Buffer Zone, the Southeastern Buffer Zone, and the North-Central Fee Area. The report recommends the use of a 100-acre site located in the Northeastern Buffer Zone to conduct a three-phase development program. The program includes detailed initial and continuing environmental baseline monitoring, construction and operation of a semi-closed test facility, and continuing analysis and upgrading of program elements. The recommended test facility includes the following: an artificial stream channel, test ponds, landspill study areas, and supporting elements.]]></description>
