User Evaluation of CERL Air, Water/Wastewater, and Solid Waste Survey Guidelines.

Abstract

This report presents a user evaluation of three installation pollution survey guidelines published by the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory for the areas of air, water/wastewater, and solid waste. The three guidelines are: (1) Air Pollution Survey Guidelines (CERL-TR-N-5/AD-A029 633), (2) Water/Wastewater Survey Guidelines (CERL-TR-N-11/AD-A033 223), and (3) Installation Solid Waste Survey Guidelines (CERL-TR-E-75/AD-A018 879). These guidelines were evaluated by users to such quality parameters as comprehensiveness, practicality, and Army relevance. The user evaluation revealed that the overall rating of these guidelines was generally 'excellent' to 'good.' Suggested areas of improvement were: (1) simplifying or eliminating the highly technical areas, (2) expanding information and coverage of emission factors, (3) providing more detailed information on state pollution regulations, (4) providing more examples on principles presented in the guidelines, (5) providing more information on stream flow measurement, and (6) providing more information on conducting air pollution emission inventories.
