Summary: Sharma, a consultant in geoenvironmental and geotechnical engineering, and Reddy (civil and environmental engineering, University of Illinois) outline environmental laws and regulations, provide geochemical and geotechnical background, and explain fundamentals of groundwater flow and contaminant transport in this resource for students and professionals in environmental, geotechnical, and civil engineering and for environmental regulators and administrators at local, state, and federal levels. After chemical, geochemical, and geotechnical background, the book examines sources of contamination, risk assessment, and remediation technologies, then presents information on the design and evaluation of landfills and surface impoundments. Final chapters describe emerging technologies such as beneficial uses of closed landfills, recycling bioreactors, and in- situ capping of subaquatic waste sediments. Example problems, cases, and questions are included. Annotation �2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
