5.0 SUMMARY OF A TYPICAL PROJECT IN INDIA
During August 2004, Subijoy Dutta of S & M Engineering visited the site and conducted the system inspection and testing prior to the initial startup of the Deep pond system on August 30, 2004. Delta Business Services, and along with contractors and their field persons completed the final piping, electrical, spillways, and all other ancilliary construction work to get the system ready for the startup.
To install the spillways at accurate levels another set of surveys were conducted by the site engineers.
The construction part of the project is practically completed. Some fine tuning and adjustments is being carried out during the 30-day build up of the anaerobic bacteria. At the present time the amount of work completed at the site compares to approximately 145% of the total construction work estimated in the original proposal.
For easy reference, the schematic diagram showing the Deep pond system as excavated at the JNTU site is also shown here on Figure 1 below:

He is the author of the book “Environmental Treatment Technologies for Hazardous and Medical Wastes - Remedial Scope and Efficacy” published by Tata McGraw Hill in March 2002. Summary of the book is furnished under Appendix I at the end. He has been the Remedial Project Manager (RPM) for several superfund and RCRA sites. He has designed and supervised construction of several landfill cover systems. He was instrumental in the cleanup of three radioactive waste disposal sites at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. He played a key role beginning from the initial investigation, conducting dosimetric survey, to final cleanup of these three radioactive waste disposal sites. He has also designed the ground water treatment plant for TCE and Cr6+ removal for a superfund site in Oklahoma. He initiated the Yamuna river remediation effort in New Delhi, India, by use of constructed wetlands. Hydrogeological investigation of the Ponca City pollution problem, and watershed analysis for investigating the severe erosion problem in Midwest City, Oklahoma, are a few examples of his community projects. He has given various environmental seminars and has over 20 publications.
Dr. Hilary Inyang is one of the top ten geotechnical engineers in US and author of the book “Geoenvironmental Engineering”, which was just released by the pennwell Publishing Company. This new book (retail price US $150.00) is going to be used as a text book in many environmental engineering curriculum in US and overseas from the next Fall 2000 session.
Dr. Donald Menzie has worked as an engineer for over 40 years. His expertise in Petroleum and natural gas have been applied to numerous projects. His past projects involving projects for such companies as Conoco, Mobil, and Texaco have benefitted him with a wealth of knowledge that he brings to S & M.
Dr. Amy Townsend researches and writes on cultural and environmental sustainability, intellectual property rights, and management of commons and protected areas. The impacts of coastal and marine tourism, and developments on human populations and the environment including the global environmental change are also her major areas of focus. She has contributed to two United Nations reports, and studied land-based sources of marine pollution in the wider Caribbean. She has also participated in the committee for the National Institute on the Environment's work on the environmental effects of stratospheric ozone depletion, and investigated methods for environmentally sound and culturally appropriate community and building design. Ms. Townsend has numerous publications.
Bryan Watt's experience comes from over 12 years in regulatory and ground water related work involving coal mine permitting, engineering, and field work since 1975.
S & M's team provides a wealth of knowledge and experience in projects involving engineering, cultural, and environmental issues. A detail qualification and expertise of the key S & M engineering professionals can be furnished upon request.
Appendix I
BOOK 1
Environmental Treatment Technologies for Hazardous and Medical Wastes: Remedial Scope and Efficacy
Many well-intentioned land development projects are conceived, planned, and carried to completion in an inadequate environmental context. The unintended consequences of such projects often include contamination and degradation of streams, forests, soils, and entire natural systems. Dealing with the challenges of maintaining a decent balance between man’s needs and a sustainable environment has become the province of specialized professionals and technicians trained and equipped to address the complexities of environmental contamination.
Environmental Treatment Technologies for Hazardous and Medical Wastes provides a systematic framework for analyzing the full range of outcomes that may result from many of the components of urban development and for remediating their adverse effects. The book also provides details on various waste treatment technologies for hazardous and medical wastes.
It includes:
The book also includes a description of the technology, flow diagram and other technology specific information. With this coverage the book would be useful for the environmental scientists and engineers, scientists at the Pollution Control Boards, NGO’s , hospitals and medical organizations and students of environmental engineering and sciences.
