To the Environmental Industry Associations (EIA) (in conjunction with a renewed Susan B. Harwood Training Grant from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)) to extend development of ergonomic training materials for waste service employees. EREF will translate its handouts from its 2001-2002 ergonomics training sessions into Spanish; develop checklists of ergonomics issues, in English and Spanish, to use as part of an overall safety and training program; continue supervision of the development of the waste industry's Best Management Practices (BMPs) for preventing ergonomic injuries to waste service employees; and maintain and update an interactive web page concerning ergonomics and the waste service industry, applicable regulatory guidance, and the ability to ask questions that receive prompt and information responses. The project is complete; the development of BMPs is ongoing; the translation of checklists of ergonomics issues in Spanish will not occur. Access

| $300,000 | To R.D. Gibbons, LTD, Terra-Dynamics, Inc., and Severn Trent Laboratories, Inc. for a landfill leachate sampling and characterization study. The purpose of this project is to collect and compile leachate analytical data over time and evaluate leachate quality in terms of landfill operational and physical attributes. The results will enable landfill owners/operators and regulators the ability to confidently evaluate and predict changes in leachate quality and quantity. Completion of the project was extended to spring 2005. | |
