Malcolm
Pirnie Water Treatment Plant Optimization Services Water
treatment plant optimization is a continuous process as
utilities strive to not only meet current and future regulations,
but also to provide water of superior quality. With improved
understanding of water chemistry and advances in technology,
optimization can lead to the delivery of a higher-quality
product at a lower cost. Malcolm Pirnie is prepared
to help utilities deal with water treatment plant optimization
challenges.
Commentary: Ride the
desalination wave (North
County Times, February 8) Commentary: The ex-chief counsel for the
San Diego Sierra Club fires
some broadsides at the
environmentalists opposed to
the proposed Carlsbad desalination
plant. He characterizes
them as "side-stream... non-expert
activists blindly ignore the
years of research and study by
scientific experts" who
have filed a "hopeless
lawsuit."
Proving once again that the
environmental movement is not
monolithic, he says the
lawsuit epitomizes the "all-too-common
tactic of certain radical
elements of the environmental
movement to abuse the legal
process by filing endless
frivolous lawsuits trying to
stop beneficial projects they
oppose."
Oregon
officials concerned that quagga
mussel larvae MAY have
accompanied trout transplanted
from Nevada's Lake Mead (Salem
Statesman Journal, February 10) Commentary:
Demonstrating the
"interstate" nature of
concern about these invasive
pests, the trout transplant took
place within Nevada, going from
Lake Mead on the Colorado River
to the Wildhorse Reservoir in
northern Nevada. But that
reservoir is the headwater of a
river system that goes from the
Owyhee River in Nevada into the Snake
River through Idaho and into the
Columbia River in Oregon.
