Description
Summary:This project report presents the results of a pilot project directed toward an initial examination of land disposal as a means of improving the quality of lagoon effluents under the climatological and soil conditions found in the interior of Alaska. The principle objective of this effort was to assist the US Army, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, in conducting a pilot land disposal project in the interior region of Alaska. This project was a preliminary investigation of the feasibility of land disposal of secondary effluent from an aerated lagoon during the summer months. The hope was to examine the possible use of this technique to meet 1977 standards for the quality of secondary effluents. The work upon which this report is based was supported in part by funds provided by the United States Army, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover, New Hampshire.
