Research Advancing the Management of C&D Debris in
Florida
Project Description:
This project targets three tasks whose objectives are to advance
the practice of C&D debris management in Florida.
Task 1: H2S Odors at C&D
Debris Landfills - To examine the long term performance of
soil amendments for mitigating hydrogen sulfide emissions from
C&D debris landfills (in the field) and to evaluate factors
impacting H2S control (in the field and in the lab).
Task 2: Engineered Wood
- To examine potential environmental concerns associated with
the inclusion of engineered wood products such as plywood and
oriented strand board (OSB) in landscape mulch.
Task 3: Portland Cement
Concrete - To compile all available federal and state
specifications (and possibly international) regarding the reuse
of crushed portland cement concrete for road base construction
stone and to foster a dialogue between all appropriate parties
to determine what actions are needed to overcome existing
impediments.
Project Status:
Laboratory studies are in progress for Tasks 1 and 2. Surveys
are being performed and background data are being gathered for Task
3.
