Disposal of Industrial and Domestic Wastes: Land and Sea Alternatives.
Abstract
The workshop should be organized into eight panels: public policy, economics, risk assessment, marine sciences, biological effects, land disposal, sewage sludge, and industrial wastes. In addition to organizing the workshop, the steering committee identified information needs for assessing, for a given site and a given waste material, the options of land, sea and air disposal and the environmental, economic, and regulatory criteria for selection among those options. The workshop, entitled 'Land, Sea, and Air Options for the Disposal of Industrial and Domestic Wastes', was held January 16-21, 1983, in Napa Valley, California. The steering committee agreed that it would be potentially most productive for the workshop to consider two cases: (1) the 106-Mile Ocean Waste Disposal Site (Dumpsite 106) off the New Jersey coast, the largest U.S. ocean site for disposal of industrial wastes, and (2) the sewage sludge disposal problem in Los Angeles and Orange counties, California.
