 Enviro-Klean
Back in the 1980's, manufacturers of asphalt plants began modifying
their equipment to remediate hydrocarbon contaminated soils. The process was effective, however, fuel consumption and undesirable air emissions presented significant challenges. As a result, a group of engineers joined forces under the name Enviro-Klean and began to explore alternate soil heating methods. They created the unique Enviro-Klean soil curtain design, which has been modified and improved through 4 generations. Enviro-Klean equipment is engineered and manufactured in North America, and meets UL, CSA and European CE standards. http://www.enviroklean.com Enviro-Klean is committed to providing competitive, state-of-the-art thermal remediation equipment that meets or exceed the toughest environmental standards world-wide. Enviro-Klean, Foster. Enviro-Vac(TM) Systems Homepage Enviro-Vac(TM)'s use of advanced technology and equipment together with our many years of experience enables us to handle specialized projects including decontamination of major facilities and plants. Enviro-Vac(TM)'s use of advanced technology and high velocity cleaning equipment keeps us ahead of the competition. Tight scheduling and adequate resources are needed to assure minimal downtime. Enviro-Vacs use of high velocity cleaning equipment keeps them ahead of the competition. http://www.envirovac.com/homepage.html Contaminated blast media conveying, extraction by vacuum, industrial cleaning and classification, remediation of dust collectors and baghouses, hazardous waste packaging, inventory and disposition including remediation and other services for hazardous and non-hazardous material handling. Enviro-Vacs, business. Untitled ORCA is spearheaded by Dr. Bryan Imber, Mr. David Butterfield and Mr. Greg Ramsay, three business people with extensive management experience and international reputations in their respective areas. Since 1989, David has dedicated his development company and millions of dollars to the research and design of sustainable communities. Greg brings with him engineering design and construction experience, which will be invaluable in the next phase of the development of Orca. http://www.orcaenviro.com/frames-people.html Greg was responsible for developing a consortium of ship builders and manufacturers that obtained the contract to build much of the fast ferries commissioned by the British Columbia provincial government, a contract of more than $25-million. Ramsay, David. Soil Landscapes of BC - Part 2: Soil Orders The two previous sections have described the ways in which soils have formed and the method of classifying them in Canada. In the field it is recognized by its browner or redder colour as compared with the parent material, by its structure and major accumulations of any materials translocated from the A horizon, such as clay. Turbic Cryosol: mineral soils with disrupted horizons and displaced material, due to cryoturbation. http://srmwww.gov.bc.ca/soils/landscape/2.4order.html Under conditions of prolonged saturation the drier organic LFH surface horizons of leaves, twigs and grasses will be replaced by an 0 horizon of mosses and sedges derived from wetland vegetation. soils, decomposition. Xeriscape Uses a variety of flowers, colors, and interesting plants. Xeriscape Demonstration Garden In Kamloops, the City has promoted Xeriscaping through the creation of a Xeriscape Demonstration Garden in McArthur Park, and through holding several xeriscaping seminars. A Xeriscape garden can add beauty and colour to your landscaping while minimizing water requirements. The Seven Principles of Xeriscaping Xeriscaping is based on seven interrelated principles. In many ways the principles are just overall good gardening practice. Soil Improvement Soil conditions are critical in the success of a Xeriscape. http://www.city.kamloops.bc.ca/water/conservation.shtml Efficient Irrigation Efficient irrigation means applying the amount of water that is required by a plant, when it is required, where it is required and with minimal wastage. water, fertilizer. Bro70 Productive soils, along with clean water and air, are the foundation of productive forest ecosystems, but forest management has the potential to degrade soil productivity. Soil nutrients are present mostly in surface soils, especially in association with organic matter in the forest floor but also in the surface mineral soil layers. Topsoil is often enriched in organic matter, nutrients, and soil organisms, has higher water storage capacity than subsoil, and may have beneficial soil structure that makes it better as a growing medium. The following challenges need to be addressed to ensure that soil rehabilitation opportunities are fully realized, without wasting effort on work that provides little benefit or where the economic and environmental costs outweigh the benefits: 1. Objectives: To determine the rotation-length effects of different levels of organic matter (aboveground biomass and forest floor) retention and soil compaction on long-term forest soil productivity on a range of sites and ecological conditions. ¥ In the BWBS, removal of forest floor led to reduced height growth of aspen and white spruce on sites with 20 ---30cm of stone-free silt loam over clay loam. ¥ Power disc trenching, Tilth winged subsoiler, and patch treatment with a Bobcat-mounted rototiller were the least expensive treatments, and resulted in the some of the best seedling growth. ¥ Landings within range units with a high degree of cattle use had higher seedling mortality rates and more cattle damage to seedlings. http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/pubs/Docs/Bro/Bro70.pdf Objectives: To evaluate the potential for commercially available biological inoculants to increase colonization of seedling root systems, and to improve field performance of planting stock on rehabilitated and standard reforestation sites. soil, subsoiler. |
