Field management of hazardous spills

Warren C. Westgarth

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Field management of hazardous material spills is becoming up to date as modern management procedures and technology are brought to bear on the problem. Federal, state, and local regulations are addressing the problem, and that is creating both aid and confusion in identifying spilled materials that are hazardous and in indicating what can be done with them. Water supplies are particularly vulnerable to spills of hazardous material and need to be protected. Contingency planning on the part of water purveyors is a necessity.
