Asbestos in Soil Workgroup

The Department of Environmental Protection is holding public hearings on proposed amendments to: 310 CMR 40.0000, the Massachusetts Contingency Plan or MCP (adopted pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 21E); 310 CMR 7.15 (the Air Quality regulations governing management of asbestos, adopted pursuant to M.G.L. c. 111, §142 A-D) and of 310 CMR 19.000 (the Solid Waste Management regulations, adopted pursuant to M.G.L. c. 111, §150A). The proposed amendments are intended to clarify and streamline requirements for assessment and cleanup of asbestos that has been released to the environment.

Erosion Control, and Nanotechnologies (NT)

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Abstract Nanotechnology (NT) The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as understanding and controlling matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Introduction Nanotechnology offers the potential to effectively treat contaminants in situ, avoiding excavation or the need to pump contaminated water out of the ground. The process begins with nanoparticles being injected into a contaminated aquifer via an injection well. Role of Nanotechnology Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving wind turbine performance...

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Bioventing Description Bioventing is an in situ remediation technology that uses microorganisms to biodegrade organic constituents adsorbed on soils in the unsaturated zone. Bioventing enhances the activity of indigenous bacteria and simulates the natural in situ biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soil by inducing air or oxygen flow into the unsaturated zone and, if necessary, by adding nutrients. During bioventing, oxygen may be supplied through direct air injection into residual contamination in soil. Bioventing primarily assists in the degradation of adsorbed fuel residuals, but also assists in the degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as vapors move slowly through biologically active...
