Fine particle components of PM-10 from fugitive dust sources

Conference Cowherd, C ; Kuykendal, W B

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently considering revisions to the existing particulate matter (PM) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), which are based on PM-10. If, for example, the particle size fraction used in a new standard were to be shifted to PM-2.5, the existing national PM-2.5 emission inventory indicates that emissions of fugitive particulate matter would continue to be dominant. However, ambient monitoring data suggests that PM-2.5 emissions from fugitive dust sources may be significantly overestimated. The purpose of the study reported in this paper was to evaluate the existing fugitive dust emission factors and to improvemore »« less
Geochemical characteristics of some oils derived from lacustrine sediments, China

Conference Philp, R P ; Zhu, H ; Fan, P - AAPG (Am. Assoc. Pet. Geol.) Bull.; (United States)

A large proportion of oils occurring in China are derived from sediments deposited in lacustrine environments whose salinities range from hypersaline to freshwater. Variations in the salinities of the environments will, to a large extent, determine the nature of the organisms that predominate within the water column. This in turn will affect the chemical composition of the sediments and ultimately the composition of the oils generated from the sediments. A large number of oils and source rocks from various lacustrine basins in China, including the Tarim, Kelaymai, Jianghan, Shannganning, and Chaidamu basins, have been examined and characterized by a varietymore »« less
Partial Re-vegetation of the Dust and Blowing-Sand Source Area: A proposal for use of a 175 K$ SEP Fine

Technical Report Becker, James M ; Sackschewsky, Michael R

We propose using the 175 K$ SEP money to stabilize approximately 300-340 acres located to the southwest of the 200 West Expansion Area fence. We propose a procedure that relies on drill seeding a mixture of perennial native grasses followed by truck application of a soil fixative such as Soil Master. This effort would compliment FDH/Duratek activities planned for inside the 200 West fence lines. Assuming that both efforts are successful, the result would be between 2,000 and 2,500 meters of stabilized soil surface upwind of the primary receptors at MO-281/272-WA, which would result in a significant reduction in respirablemore » dust at the receptor site.« less

Differentiating sediments from different sources in Gulf basin by grain-shape analysis: example from late Pleistocene-Holocene sediments of northwestern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf

Conference Withers, K D ; Mazzullo, J - Am. Assoc. Pet. Geol., Bull.; (United States)

It has been shown previously that different source rocks produce quartz sand grains with unique gross shape characteristics. These gross shape characteristics cannot be altered by abrasion, and are thus an immutable record of sediment source. Therefore, sand grains in a sedimentary basin should contain in the gross shape a fingerprint of their source unaffected by the amount of reworking to which the sands have been subjected. To test this idea, shapes of late Pleistocene-Holocene sand grains from two sources in the northwest Gulf of Mexico (the Rio Grande and western Gulf province) were analyzed with the Fourier grain-shape technique.more »« less
Correlation characteristics of surficial deposits with a description of surficial stratigraphy in the Nevada test site region

Technical Report Hoover, D. L. ; Swadley, W. C. ; Gordon, A. J.

Surficial deposits in the Nevada Test Site region have been correlated between valleys using correlation characteristics. Correlation characteristics include topography, drainage, topographic relationships, soils, desert pavement, depositional environment, and lithology. Stratigraphic units include Pliocene or Pleistocene debris flows, Pliocene or Pleistocene lakebeds, bedded gravels, and spring deposits, and two Quaternary fluvial and eolian units. The Pliocene or Pleistocene debris flows and the two Quaternary units are separated by regional unconformities. Each of the Quaternary units contains five subunits. The Bishop ash and several radiometric dates have been used to determine the age of the Quaternary units.
