  7. History of Research Activities

  8. Original Motivation For Project Ash Disposal Problem, 1995

  9. FCSHWM Year 1 (1996-1997)

  10. Year 1: C&D Wood Testing • Processed Wood at C&D Recycling Facilities 6% CCA by Weight

  11. Year 1: Disposal Forecast (Updated 2005) As

  12. Slower Rate of Release but More Concentrated As

  13. FCSHWM Year 2 (1997-1998)

  14. Year 2: Ash Leaching Studies • Leaching Studies, ash • Hazardous when CCA-treated wood represents 5% of wood burned • Solvents can extract metals from ash, citric acid very promising (40 to 100% As removed)

  15. Year 2: Sorting Untreated Treated • Sorting Studies, Laboratory • Chemical stains, low capital costlabor intensive • X-ray methods, high capital costsuitable for on-line system

  16. Outline of Work Since 1999 • In-Service Issues • Impacts on Soil • Runoff and Infiltration* (NIEHS funding) • Playgrounds and Children* (NIEHS funding) • Disposal • Leaching New and Weathered Wood • Chemical Alternatives to CCA • Sorting Methods* (FDEP/Medley) • Mulch Studies* (FCSHWM)

  17. In-Service: Soil Impacts

  18. In Service: Soil Impacts

  19. Experimental Set-up rainwater runoff collection vessel precipitation deck sandy soil, 2 ft Infiltrating rainwater gravel

  20. Disposal • Leaching New and Weathered Wood • Chemical Alternatives to CCA • Sorting Methods* • Mulch Studies*

  21. Leaching of CCA-Treated Wood

  22. TCLP Limit Leaching of CCA-Treated Wood TCLP

  23. Field-Scale Leaching 2 Monofills / 2 C&D / 2 MSW

  24. Synthetic Rainfall Chemical Alternatives: Leaching

  25. Less Toxic CCA ACQ CC CDDC CBA Chemical Alternatives: Aquatic Toxicity

  26. Sorting Test Kits Laser Untreated Treated x-ray x-ray x-ray

  27. Work Products • 8 FCSHWM reports, Finalized (available on-line) • 1 FCSHWM reports, Draft (available on-line) • 2 FCSHWM reports, Pending • 13 peer-reviewed journal articles published, 2 accepted, and 3 submitted • Plus approx 40 conference proceedings and other papers
