  • 2. WASTE MANAGEMENT (1) Hazardous Waste Specific Actions
    2. WASTE MANAGEMENT (1) Hazardous Waste Specific actions and the implementation process Special attention is required for disposing of waste with hazardous qualities, such as infectious, flammable, or poisonous waste, and thus these items are designated as “waste under special control” under Japan’s Waste Disposal and Public Cleansing Law, and regulations implemented for these items are stricter than those for normal waste. Specifically, regulations consist of complying with strict processing standards during such processes as storage, collection, transport, and disposal, a permit system for professional processors and processing facilities, and the establishment of a Manager in Charge of the Special Control of Industrial Waste. In a recent effort, as part of a response to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Japan established Technical Considerations regarding the Processing of POPs (established in 2004 and revised in 2009) that were previously buried in the ground, and is providing technical guidance to ensure their proper disposal. In addition, efforts are currently being promoted for the proper collection and disposal of infectious waste, etc. that accompanies the new influenza and home healthcare by such means as establishing guidelines and manuals. In order to process waste including polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) with certainty and adequacy, the Law Concerning Special Measures Against PCB Waste was formulated in 2001, under which the Japan Environmental Safety Corporation (JESCO), a government funded corporation, is handling the processing of high-pressure transformers, capacitors, and other items that contain PCB. In terms of asbestos waste, there is the possibility that the concerns of residents could lead to disposal sites rejecting the waste or illegal dumping.

  • 5 Solid Waste Management
    5 Solid Waste Management GEORGE TCHOBANOGLOUS, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering University University of California at Davis Davis, California Aesthetic, land-use, health, water pollution, air pollution, and economic con- siderations make proper solid waste management an ongoing concern for municipal, corporate, and individual functions that must be taken seriously by all. Indiscriminate dumping of solid waste and failure of the collection system in a populated community for two or three weeks would soon cause many problems. Odors, flies, rats, roaches, crickets, wandering dogs and cats, and fires would dispel any remaining doubts of the importance of proper solid waste management. Solid waste management is a complex process because it involves many technologies and disciplines. These include technologies associated with the generation (including source reduction), on-site handling and storage, collec- tion, transfer and transportation, processing, and disposal of solid wastes. All of these processes have to be carried out within existing legal, social, and environmental guidelines that protect the public health and the environment and are aesthetically and economically acceptable. To be responsive to public attitudes, the disciplines that must be considered in integrated solid waste management include administrative, financial, legal, architectural, planning, environmental, and engineering functions. For a successful integrated solid waste management plan, it is necessary that all these disciplines communicate

  • Appendices Due to Concerns Over the Quality of the Data Collected
    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.
