Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste Engineering Committ

To provide a forum for civil engineers to evaluate the physical, chemical and biological treatment processes, site remediation engineering, storage and disposal, waste recycle and hazardous toxic and radioactive waste regulations and engineering, evolving and innovative remedial approaches, in-site biodegradation, federal/state clean-up standards and effectiveness of alternate technology. The committee also provides expertise concerning procedures for remedial investigation, feasibility studies, and remedial design for mitigation of hazardous waste sites. The committee also addresses the use and management of radioactive materials including naturally occurring radiation in the environment, waste minimization, transportation of radioactive materials, and useful applications of radiation in environmental management.
