Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Soil Science
  • Waste Management

Background:

  • Societal nonhazardous wastes (residuals) have been land-applied for centuries for disposal and soil improvement.
  • Growing interest in land application due to landfill and incineration concerns.
  • Traditional land application definitions are incomplete without public trust.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce key developments in land treatment theory and practice.
  • Identify research needs for sustainable residual land application.
  • Highlight advancements from the "Sustainable Land Application" conference.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of selected papers and posters from a 2004 conference.
  • Focus on sustainable land application of residuals.
