FOUNDRY SAND IN SOIL APPLICATIONS FORUM PDF Print E-mail

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), The Ohio State University, US Department of Agriculture (USDA), American Foundry Society, and Foundry Industry Recycling Starts Today are sponsoring a workshop on sustainable soil manufacturing July 23-24 at OSU's Kottman Hall, 2021 Coffey Road, Columbus, Ohio.

This workshop will present information on the use of spent foundry sands as ingredients in manufactured soils. Foundry sands have excellent physical properties that are needed by many commercial soil blenders. Whether used to create general landscaping soils, nursery and horticultural soils, turf growth media, or biorentention soils, foundry sands present opportunities to achieve sustainability goals by reusing materials that might otherwise be discarded. Additional information about the forum, including registration details can be found on the following website: [ http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/osw/conserve/foundry/forum.htm ]
