Pore Solution-Based Innovative Approach For Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Conventional And Alternative Scms To Mitigate Asr, Anol Mukhopadhyay May 2024

Pore Solution-Based Innovative Approach For Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Conventional And Alternative Scms To Mitigate Asr, Anol Mukhopadhyay

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Pore Solution-Based Innovative Approach for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Conventional and Alternative SCMs to Mitigate ASR Authors Prof. Anol Mukhopadhyay - United States - Texas A&M University Abstract Current ASR tests such as ASTM C 1293 and C 1567 are not sensitive to detecting FA soluble alkali's effect on ASR expansion due to alkali boosting test conditions. Moreover, the current empirical prediction models (e.g., chemical index and extended chemical index) to determine the fly ash dosage for mitigating ASR ignore the role of fly ash soluble alkali contribution on ASR evaluation. The main objective of this study was to develop …

Ccr Landfill Leachate Treatment Considerations, William Kennedy May 2024

Ccr Landfill Leachate Treatment Considerations, William Kennedy

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

CCR Landfill Leachate Treatment Considerations Authors Mr. William Kennedy - United States - Stantec Abstract The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new effluent limitations guidelines (ELGs) for coal combustion residual (CCR) leachate in March 2023.

Evaluating Ccr Unit Closure Options – Closure In Place Or Closure By Removal, Rick Buffalini May 2024

Evaluating Ccr Unit Closure Options – Closure In Place Or Closure By Removal, Rick Buffalini

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Evaluating Surface Impoundments Closure by Removal and Closure in Place Options Authors Mr. Rick Buffalini - United States - Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. Abstract The USEPA interpretation of the 2015 CCR Regulations is that closure in place requires that the CCR not be in contact with groundwater, that post-closure infiltration of groundwater from the subsurface be eliminated, and that free liquids be eliminated from the CCR. As a result, owners of surface impoundments that had previously intended to close in place are now evaluating other options to dewater the CCR or closure by removal. This presentation will address evaluations …


Water Management And Construction Impacts, Christine Harris May 2024

Water Management And Construction Impacts, Christine Harris

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Water Management and Construction Impacts Authors Mrs. Christine Harris - United States - Groundwater Treatment and Technology, LLC (GWTT) Abstract When closing an ash impoundment there are many steps in the process. Understanding the relationship between water management and civil construction is important. In most cases, before civil construction can begin, free liquids must be removed from the impoundment. Usually, the water removed must be treated before it can be discharged. The success (or failure) of these two activities can have an impact on the ability of the civil construction contractor to perform the work. The responsibility for dewatering is …
