Synopsis

Step-by-step guide to environmental calculation. The only hands-on reference of its kind, Handbook of Environmental Engineering Calculations, by respected national expert C.C. Lee, provides calculation procedures for solid waste management; air resources management; water quality assessment and control; surface water; lake and reservoirs; groundwater; public water supply; waste water treatment; and risk assessment/pollution prevention. Each procedure is presented with fully illustrated steps. The author, an EPA Research Program Manager, shows the integration of regulatory requirements into environmental design, so that the resulting designs are more acceptable to regulators.
