Item 6 Ways to Reduce Waste that are Actually Useful(Burnt X Orange, 2020-02-23) Phipps, TaraItem Air Conditioning for the Relief of Cedar-Pollen Hayfever(University of Texas at Austin, 1939-08-22) University of Texas at AustinItem An Evaluation of a Refuse Reclamation and Recycle System(University of Texas at Austin, 1971-12) Morgan, W.T.; Malina, J.F. Jr.Item An Anthropology of Waste: The University of Texas’s Zero Waste Goal(2020-05) Micek, Amanda; Cons, JasonThis is an examination of how we define waste and, subsequently, how waste is used as a weapon by the power structures in place. First, this paper provides a definition to the broad term “waste” and continues on to examine who creates these definitions, who these definitions aim to serve, and how these definitions affect people. I argue that there is a link between race, socioeconomic standing, and one’s visibility of and proximity to waste. I take these ideas and situate them within the city of Austin and more specifically at the University of Texas’ home football games. My research looks at the zero waste policy being pursued by Texas Athletics and who shoulders the burden of such an ambitious goal.Item Application of Oxygen to Treat Waste from Military Field Installations(University of Texas at Austin, 1973-07) Malina, J.F.Item Application of Oxygen to Treat Waste from Military Field Installations: An Evaluation of an Activated Sludge Process Employing Downflow Bubble Contact Aeration(University of Texas at Austin, 1974-07) Beere, C.W.; Malina, J.F.Item Application of Oxygen to Treat Waste from Military Field Installations: Inactivation of Virus in Bench-Scale Oxygenated Waste Stabilization Ponds(University of Texas at Austin, 1974-07) Melbard, A.R.; Malina, J.F.Item Biodegradation in Waste Stabilization Ponds(University of Texas at Austin, 1970-12) Chiang, W.W.; Gloyna, E.F.Item Carta a Zerpa del Dpto de Toxicologia Ambiental de la Univ Autonoma de SL Potosi, Mexico(2006-07) Martínez, Dr. Fernando Díaz-BarrigaItem Coalescence of Emulsified Wastes by Fibrous Bed(University of Texas at Austin, 1975-08) Chieu, J.N; Schechter, R.S.; Humenick, M.J.; Gloyna, E.F.Item Cultivating Science and Environmental Justice(2020-12-04) Ramirez-Andreotta, MonicaItem Design Guides for Biological Wastewater Treatment Processes: Waste Stabilization Pond Performance(University of Texas at Austin, 1970-05) Aguirre, J.; Gloyna, E.F.Item Development and Documentation of Mathematical Models for the Paraiba River Basin Study Vol III.

These data indicate the source of groundwater and may dictate alternate management for pollutant attenuation. Following remediation, the Mabel Davis landfill was monitored through comparison of leachate volume, rainfall, and well water levels. In addition, water chemistry analyses were conducted including isotopic ratios related to source waters. Data collected from these investigations indicates the St. Elmo Terrace Deposit is the source of natural groundwater on the site. It also appears that this natural shallow groundwater is the source for Mabel Davis seep and the observed fluctuation in leachate volume. As a result, leachate volumes will continue to fluctuate with seasonal rainfall amount with large amount of leachate being generated during wet periods and low leachate amounts during drought conditions. Solid Waste Services may want to consider alternatives for management of remediated landfill cover to redirect infiltrating rainfall and ultimately reduce production of leachate to within design parameters.
