Considerable attention has been focused on regulatory classification of ash from municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators. Such attention has raised several issues, which range from the applicability of current federal regulations, to the manner of sampling, and the type of test to apply to characterize the ash. When lab tested under the provisions of the 1976 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and its subsequent amendments, municipal waste combustion (MWC) residues sometimes exceeded heavy metal limitations. Lacking evidence to the contrary, the public and the media have viewed MWC residue as ""toxic."" Elected officials, similarly, have relied on such laboratory data to shape their perspective. Reliance on just laboratory leachate data has led to state regulations imposing economic burdens on resource recovery projects. On September 18, 1992, Mr. William Reilly, Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, issued a policy statement declaring that MWC ash should be regulated as a non-hazardous solid waste. The author hopes that the Clinton administration will continue the current policy. This book would serve to defend the current policy. The engineering approach, emphasizing a rational evaluation of peer-reviewed field data, could defuse environmentalists' claims. Should federal policy remain, due to USEPA's recognition of their problems with field data and lab procedures, this book provides a guideline to implement combustion residue beneficial use. The described engineering methodology, advocating end-product performance and reliance on field data, provides a more rational approach than worst-case, risk-assessment models. This book provides a technical assessment of combustion residues' environmentally benign characteristics and a blueprint to achieve their utilization. Readers, representing both sides of the combustion residue controversy, should appreciate the application of the rational, engineering approach aimed at demonstrating environmental compatibility of heavy industrial energy projects. This engineering approach will enable us to achieve a true balance between industrial growth and environmental compatibility.

Combustion Ash and Residue Management assists owners and operators of Coal-fired and Resource Recovery Power Plants. By applying the principles and reviewing the case studies examples described within this book, accidents and upsets can be avoided and regulatory permitting can be achieved – reducing costs. This unique book is an essential reference for anybody responsible for disposal or utilization of combustion residues. It reflects over 30 years of engineering practice, applying the principles of concrete chemistry and civil engineering/soil mechanics as confirmed by field data. Dr. Richard Goodwin assesses the composition and environmental impact of combustion residues, and provides not only best practices for safe disposal, but also a blueprint for effective reuse, including applications like structural fill, grout, and capping material. Case studies and cost information for ash disposal options are included, in addition to the lessons learned by high-profile failures, such as the TVA Kingston fossil plant coal fly ash slurry spill in 2008. It also applies engineering principles to discuss how to avoid future upsets, including better operator training and monitoring methods. • A comprehensive update to reflect changes in legislation and practice, including new material on the safe disposal or beneficial use of coal ash • A straightforward engineering approach, providing practical guidance and field data • Written by an established expert in the field
