Abstract:
Debate is taking place over a proposed hazardous waste disposal facility to be built by ThermalKEM in rural Northampton County. The residents of Woodland and the black community are split over the decision. The opposition is concerned about public health, corporate promises, and property values while the group in favor of the facility says it will bring jobs to an area with high unemployment, little tax revenue, and community services.

Abstract:
The Triangle area’s landfills are filling up. While recycling household items has become more common, two-thirds of what goes into landfills comes from industrial and commercial waste. Efforts are underway to try to recycle waste from these companies by finding markets for the used materials. While the market for recycled materials is growing, the problem is that many of these materials do not need to be produced in the first place.

Abstract:
On February 6, 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency published a proposal to regulate disposal of wastewater treatment plant sludges. According to Dale Crisp, Assistant Public Utilities Director for the City of Raleigh, the proposal might require a reduction in sludge loading rates, changes in the manner sludge is applied, and changes in cover crops grown or harvested at Raleigh’s Neuse River wastewater treatment plant land application site.
