Re Justin and Glass Factory Brownfield conditions.
Is there contamination of anything other than “broken glass” and in what condition would that contaminate be? .. Glass is just another form of sand, I wonder if you could tumble the contaminated ground in something like what they tumble new bricks to make them look old. Smooth off the edges, maybe…[Read more]

In regards to mitigation measures for the redevelopment of brownfield sites, the two design options that I am most familiar with, is to install a 40mil impervious linear and or install 3′ of clean fill.
The basic concept is that you are capping the areas of contaminated soils with a liner or with soil.

In regards to the impervious liner,…[Read more]

Will definitely browse a number of sites and see what they have. . thanks laura

Thanks laura….Am keeping my options open..so i would be interested in programs in US, maybe you could give details about there websites then i could check them out.

I have an interest in water management..and arid land reclamation. I have B.LA. and i want to pursue master sometime soon, wondering which is the best programme for me. Please share ur thoughts.

Thanks.

I wish I could be there to help!

whos up for sandbagging…

Yeah… Come on Deuce

Nick, I cannot believe that you did not give Mark the credit he deserves for his whole interim period. I never thought i would see you make a mistake, especially an easy one such as rounding.

Oh & GO BISON on Friday!!!!!!!!

oh and nick, mark has actually been interim director for about 1.6 years now… no big deal, you were pretty close i guess…

Thanks! you should have seen the play in game, it came down to the last seconds… Im not the biggest basketball fan in the world but that was pretty exciting. Not bad for some North Dakota land grant school, eh? We probably wont make it past the first round but hey, pretty fun stuff nontheless.

Michael we need to get the recent projects page up and going. Maybe we post a project every weds? Or a series of project images? Let me know what you think since obviously run this show. Oh and by the way, turn on your phone!

Michael; Thanks for the update. I thought the LA program was strong when I was a student. Clearly, it’s healthy and gaining ground with every passing year.

yes. im only going to remark on some of the changes that i have experienced in my almost 4 years here at NDSU but im sure now that the group has grown, other past and present students will have things to add. Things are exciting right now, we have what i think is a talented, knowledgable, and most importantly, a stable core of LA professors in our…[Read more]

I graduated in May 2008 with my BLA and emphasis in Natural Resource Management. I am considering getting my master’s in Natural Resource Management.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how an MNRM degree would help or not really effect my job hunt?
Thanks!

Greetings from a class of 90 graduate. Looks like you’ve been adding space and capabilities since I’ve been there.

Items to be included: recent projects of all levels. current events. asla functions. chewing the fat / discussion forum. AND MUCH MORE!!…[Read more]

I am currently working on my senior cap stone B.S. – LA project , which is a brownfield site ( old glass manufacture). I was curious to see if any one had any unique mitigation techniques or could refer me to a few good case studies.

No rush, best of luck on the exam.

So interested in constructed wetlands as a ecological system and a landscape element. Any with experience care to share? Finally, any opinion as to its feasibility in arid-desert locations (MTE’s or more severe climes)?
