Clean and environmentally sound disposal of animal waste in the quantities that Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) produce can only be described as a challenge. Designed to provide practical information, Environmental Management of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) covers the concepts and practices involved in the operation and maintenance of CAFOs, paying particular attention to regulatory requirements and compliance and Best Available Technology (BAT) practices. Presenting an overview of federal, state, and local regulations and discussing US Department of Agriculture's CNMP, the book includes information and data that can be used for planning and designing waste management systems and system components as well as for selecting waste handling equipment. The authors describe the various types of manure/wastewater storage and handling systems and, using data derived from the NRCS/USDA, focus on the costs involved in the operational needs of these systems. They describe soil agricultural waste interactions and those soil properties and characteristics that affect soil sustainability and limitations for a farmstead. They also discuss the pollutants associated with livestock and poultry operations, the pathways by which the pollutants reach surface water, and their impacts on the environment and human health. Pulling information from a wide range of sources, the book's coverage moves from regulations to social and ethical issues, and on to specific technologies for a particular species. This comprehensive resource is tailored to the information needs of the practicing agronomist, rural community authorities, and other personnel involved in animal feeding operations.

This newly updated reference uses scientific laws, principles, models, and concepts to provide a basic foundation for understanding and evaluating the impact that chemicals and technology have on the environment. Designed for both professional and student use, the new Second Edition includes recent improvements in the application of new technologies and materials on the environment. It places greater emphasis on the three environmental media of air, water, and soil and discusses how technology can be used to mitigate contamination of all three. This edition has been made even more user-friendly by communicating with more environmental terms and fewer scientific ones. Major topics covered include connections between environmental science and technology, air quality, water quality, soil science, and the impact of solid and hazardous waste on the environment. Each chapter includes a list of objectives, discussion questions, and a bibliography for further research.

Government Institutes

A textbook for engineering, safety engineering, and science courses on ways to eliminate or reduce job hazards by preventative planning through engineering and management. Spellman, an environmental health and safety manager for a large wastewater treatment district, and Whiting, a technical writer specializing in the same field, review the history and terminology of safety before examining such aspects as regulations, industrial hygiene, programs to prevent back injury, confined space entry, hot work permit procedure, electrical safety, fall protection, hazard communication, ergonomics, a hearing conservation program, training, keeping records, and inspections.

Water Pollution Control Technology focuses on the practical use of tested technologies for cleaning up and controlling water pollutants and for protecting public health. Written in an easy-to-read conversational tone, this handbook provides readers with a thorough understanding of the concepts and applications of monitoring, sampling, and regulating water pollution. It also examines the relatively new field of water pollution control technology and focuses on applying engineering principles to the planning, design, construction, and operation of common water processes. Each of the 25 chapters introduces applicable scientific concepts to help readers better assess the available technologies. The authors cover a wide range of topics, including technical and scientific issues as well as the fields of biology,ecology, geology, physics, chemistry, hydraulics, and hydrology. Environmental managers, attorneys, consultants, regulators, and students alike will benefit from the numerous definitions, calculations, problems, solutions, case studies, and real-life examples included throughout the book. Chapter summaries, references, and review questions are also included.

Reference

Based on OSHA's Training Model, Safety Training Basics simplifies the task of complying with more than 100 OSHA training requirements. The authors provide you with specific guidelines for establishing an effective training program, including developing a training program specifically for your site, determining and achieving your safety goals, and designing a training curriculum and developing a presentation. Organized into six major parts, this book provides an overview of safety and health training and covers management aspects of safety-and-health program development, model training guidelines, job hazard analysis, and putting method into practice. Appendices include OSHA training requirements by industry, OSHA's civil penalty policy, state with approved plans, contact information for OSHA regional offices, and a sample lesson plan and sample test. For your convenience, you'll find additional training resources that you can use while you're developing your own training program.

Roughton, James E.

Written for safety managers, hazardous materials managers, and trucking-industry professionals, this guide provides a reference to understanding and conforming to the rules of Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) Title 49. Focusing on the key safety regulations for overland trucking, the book interprets complex or vague regulations and outlines basic requirements found in the Hazardous Materials (hazmat) Transportation and Federal Highway Administration volumes of the Transportation CFRs. Designed to help managers develop and implement proper safety programs, the book examines requirements for packing hazmats, shipping hazmats, and testing employees for drugs and alcohol.

Transportation of Hazardous Materials: A Practical Guide to Compliance

Drinan, Joanne

The new Safety Engineering provides an overview of the fundamentals with expanded coverage of practical information for protecting workers and complying with federal regulations. This Second Edition features eight new chapters, including Thermal Stress, Security and Vulnerability Assessment, Computer and Data Security, Contemporary Problems Affecting Workers, and Preventing Workplace Violence. This edition also examines the safety industry's new homeland security responsibilities and needs. Written for a wide variety of readers, including safety directors, supervisors, government officials, and students, this handy yet comprehensive reference book looks at the paperwork side of safety: identifying regulatory requirements, conducting accident investigations, preparing an emergency response plan, preparing for inspections, and complying with recordkeeping requirements. It also examines specific OSHA standards and their requirements from the Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations, defining each issue, looking at the causes of injury and non-compliance, providing provisions for protecting employees, and offering guidance for controlling or improving safety.
