The all-Malay police band were given a standing ovation by customers at Penang shopping centre for their rendition of Cantopop hit ‘Hai Kuo Tian Kong’.
Eleven pilot research projects, submitted from a wide range of departments across George Mason University, will launch July 1, 2022, thanks to funding from the state-sponsored 4-VA program. The 4-VA Collaborative Research Grants are designed to encou
Geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) have long been proven to effectively contain and store municipal solid waste (MSW) while helping maximize space due to their thickness (less than 1 cm), but some experts have taken a closer look at how they perform with special wastes as more operators take in different materials including coal ash. Mixing coal combustion residuals (CCR) with MSW has raised concerns, especially around leachate compatibility.
Some states established their own programs to address potential issues in advance of federal mandates around coal ash disposal that were promulgated in 2015 [a rule that continues to evolve]. But many jurisdictions are dealing with liner design issues around ash for the first time. An SCS engineer, a researcher at George Mason University in Virginia, and a rep from GCL liner manufacturer CETCO lend expertise around technical considerations for MSW landfill operators thinking of managing CCR.
