Editor’s Note

All manuscripts submitted to the Practice Periodical of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Management should be accompanied by a list of four potential reviewers suggested by the authors. This list should include the complete name, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and a list of at least five keywords that identify the expertise of each reviewer. The periodical is not obligated to use all or any of the recommended reviewers; however, we believe that this policy will lead to an improved review process. The new manuscripts should be submitted to Journals Department, ASCE, 1801 Alexander Bell Dr., Reston, VA 20191-4400.

We have had several dedicated issues in the past on special topics, and we plan to follow this practice in the future. The following topics are planned for future dedicated or special issues in the order listed:

Authors who are interested in submitting an article for consideration for one of the specialty issues should contact the Editor at 913-551-7453 (telephone) or [email protected] (e-mail) to submit a paper and to confirm deadlines and schedules for special or dedicated issues. Each of the specialty issues may also contain a few articles that are not related to the to pic of the specialty issue.

This issue includes the following technical articles: “Modeling the Fate of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in Sewage Treatment Plants,” “Disinfection Processes and Stability Refinements to Biosolids Treatment Technologies,” “Development of a Novel Depleted Uranium Treatment Process at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,” “Thickness of Compacted Natural Clay Barriers in MSW Landfills,” “Removal of Oil from Produced Water by Dissolved Air Flotation,” “Particle Size Variations during Production of Wastewater Sludge Based Bacillus thuringiensis Biopesticides,” “Detection of Dump Carbide Using the Resistivity Image Profiling Method,” and “Development of Watershed Management Strategies for the Chiang-Chun River Basin, Taiwan.”
