Reviews
"Even though this book was prepared for personnel who work at wastewater treatment facilities....it would also be very useful and applicable to personnel who work in solid waste management." (Waste Management, Volume 26, Issue 1, 2006)
"...a good addition to any wastewater treatment plant operators' library." (E-STREAMS, September 2005)
"...offers wastewater personnel a practical guide that is free of overly technical jargon...well-suited for use both in the classroom and on the job." (Journal of the American Water Resources Association, December 2004)
