Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Operation and Management Workbook
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT WORKBOOK Revised April 2018 Preface In many ways, constructing, operating and maintaining a municipal solid waste landfill is similar to constructing, operating, and maintaining a highway, dam, canal, bridge, or other engineered structure. The most important similarity is that landfills, like other engineered structures, must be constructed and operated in a manner that will provide safe, long-term, and reliable service to the communities they serve. Proper design, construction, operation, monitoring, closure and post-closure care are critical because after disposal the waste can be a threat to human health and the environment for decades to centuries. This workbook is intended to provide municipal landfill operators and managers in Wyoming with the fundamental knowledge and technical background necessary to ensure that landfills are operated efficiently, effectively, and in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. This workbook contains information regarding basic construction and operation activities that are encountered on a routine basis at most landfills. The basic procedures and fundamental elements of landfill permitting, construction management, monitoring, closure, post-closure care, and financial assurance are also addressed. The workbook includes informative tips and information that landfill operators and managers can use to conserve landfill space, minimize the potential for pollution, reduce operating costs, and comply with applicable rules and regulations. In addition to this workbook, operators and managers need to become familiar with the Wyoming Solid Waste Rules and Regulations applicable to municipal solid waste. The DEQ also provides numerous guidelines that may help understand regulatory requirements in more detail. -
Window Cleaning Magazine
Window Cleaning Jul/Aug 2016 magazine This issue… and much, much more… Issue 18 Window Cleaning Magazine Editorial Hey Readers, Do you know what one secret of success is? Its very simple - you have to love what you do. I remember in my early days as a trainee print sales man, I would have discussions with my Sales Manager about the 80 or so cold calls I had made in that day. He would tell me that I needed to smile on the phone! At first I thought he was crazy. What did it matter if I was not smiling on a phone call? The person on the other end cannot tell either way, right? Wrong! Within ten seconds of starting a sales call, a prospect would be able to tell if they are talking to beauty or the beast. I learned that smiling actually helped with the tone of my voice, and it is one way of positively affecting its inflection. Without smiling you can sound monotone and therefore come across as boring, or worse uninterested in the sales call you initiated. The reason is not psychological but rather physiological. When you smile, the soft palate at the back of your mouth raises and makes the sound waves more fluid. Smiling helps your voice sound friendly, warm, and receptive. I began to have a cavalier approach to sales calls. I never worried about not closing the deal, I started to have fun with the calls….. And do you know what? It got results. The more fun I had, the more deals I would close and I thought less of the calls that never went anywhere at all. -

Urbanization As a Threat to Biodiversity: Trophic Theory, Economic Geography, and Implications for Conservation Land Acquisition
Proceedings of a Symposium at the Society for Conservation Biology 2004 Annual Meeting URBANIZATION AS A THREAT TO BIODIVERSITY: TROPHIC THEORY, ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION LAND ACQUISITION Brian Czech1 ABSTRACT—Habitat loss is often cited as the primary cause of species endangerment in the United States, followed by invasive species, pollution, and direct take. Urbanization, one type of habitat loss, is the leading cause of species endangerment in the contiguous United States and entails a relatively thorough transformation from the “economy of nature” to the human economy. Principles of economic geography indicate that urbanization will continue as a function of economic growth, while principles of conservation biology indicate that the most thorough competitive exclusion occurs in urban areas. These findings suggest the need for an ecologically macroeconomic approach to conservation land acquisition strategies. “Habitat loss” is often cited as the primary cause of species these types of habitat loss are considered separate causes of endangerment in the United States, followed by invasive species endangerment, invasive species are identified as the species, pollution, disease, and direct take.

Standard Procedures for Establishing and Evaluating Air Pollution Biomonitoring Gardens in National Park Units
DRAFT STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR ESTABLISHING AND EVALUATING AIR POLLUTION BIOMONITORING GARDENS IN NATIONAL PARK UNITS National Park Service Air Quality Division P.O. Box 25287 Denver, CO 80225 Contacts: Kenneth W. Stolte James P. Bennett Tel: 303-236-8770 FTS: 776-8770 August, 1985 2 BIOMONITORING GARDENS Introduction The Air Quality Division of the National Park Service has been actively researching the extent and severity of air pollution injury in park units since 1979. Air quality studies conducted in 1984 revealed that plant species in many park units were injured by air pollution, primarily O3 and S02« The large area that many park units comprise makes it difficult and expensive to frequently evaluate biomonitoring plots scattered throughout the parks. Additionally, only a small percentage of each park flora has been experimen tally tested for air pollution sensitivity. Consequently the air pollution sensitivity of most of each park flora is relatively unknown. Bioindicator species of known or suspected pollutant sensitivity should be co-located with ambient air quality monitoring stations so that the pollutant response of the indicator species can be correlated with ambient pollution concentrations. A planting of air pollutant sensitive species in a common area, preferably near an ambient pollutant monitoring station, is termed a biomonitoring garden. Biomonitoring gardens can be established to: (1) relate ambient pollution levels with visible injury thresholds for species of known pollutant sensi tivity; (2) serve as a convenient, easily accessible grouping of native park species of known or suspected air pollution sensitivity; (3) provide a habitat where colonizing native species can be ranked for sensitivity to ambient air pollution. -
