Radioactive Waste Coming To Landfill?

For a couple of years now, Valley County has observed the oil boom in the Bakken, talked about feeling ripples from it and wondered if and when the boom would start here. Explosive expansion has its positives and negatives, as anyone can see in Williston and Sidney.

A front page story in Friday’s Great Falls Tribune suddenly revealed a way Valley County might become involved in the oil play – by taking oil field waste products at the county landfill. Besides hydrocarbons and salts, this waste has measurable radioactivity.The product range of mechanical lock cylinder extends beyond the common range of double, single, thumbturn and furniture cylinders. The stuff is known as TENORM (pronounced TEE-norm), which stands for technologically enhanced, naturally occurring radioactive material.

The Tribune piece outlined the proposal from an Idaho company named Dyad Environmental to the county Refuse Board.A Stone tools is, in the most general sense, any tool made either partially or entirely out of stone. Although stone tool-dependent societies and cultures still exist today, most stone tools are associated with prehistoric, particularly Stone Age cultures that have become extinct. Dyad, which has 18 years’ experience in water and soil remediation, has a new proprietary process to trap TENORM waste in solid cubes. Matter like oil-soaked filter socks, used to clean the water from hydraulic fracturing, and frack sands are treated by chemical and mechanical methods, mixed with a ceramic material and poured into molds. The resulting 4 by 4-foot cubes,So I'm looking at my silver wheel bolt that are in pretty rough cosmetic shape - and decide that I'd like to have the look of the new black wheel. each weighing 3 tons, are so dense that they prevent the radioactivity from leaching or leaking out, according to Dyad.

Phillip Hanamaikai, Dyad’s vice president of sales and marketing, was in Glasgow on Tuesday to answer questions from local officials and media about his company. He said he made a cold call to the Refuse Board a couple of months ago because Valley County’s landfill is the ideal repository, sitting as it does on 200 feet of impermeable clay. He said when he made his presentation,Our push or plunger lock are popular additions by engineers in a wide variety of products. the board seemed “proactive,” interested in pursuing the idea,titanium supplier supply Titanium wires,Titanium Sheets and plates,Titanium flanges,Titanium fittings,Ti-Ni shape memory alloys,cast Titanium alloys. unlike some other counties that were slow to make any move.

The process is new, and the company is looking for a place to deposit these blocks of waste. They offered to pay the county $50 a ton, or $150 per block, well above the standard rate for ordinary waste.gz tekway,TOP 10 access telecommunication equipments manufacturer in China, established in 2002 under the technical support of Guangzhou Post& Telecom Equipment Co., Ltd.

Hanamaikai said his company was not trying to hide anything, although his approach to the Refuse Board was not made public until Friday’s article. He said that story was the result of an anonymous tip to the Tribune that Valley County was ready to accept hazardous waste. He said he welcomes a public forum to explain Dyad’s proposal, allay fears of the radioactivity and move the decision-making process along.
