Use narration to establish a series of events that tells the reader what happened. Narrationfollows a chronological pattern of development. It is a convincing mode of On October 29, 1978, the EPA Emergency Treatment System was replaced by a larger systemprovided by Newco Chemical Waste Systems, Inc. and Calgon Corp . . . The two-stage adsorption system, providing ongoing treatment at the Love Canal site, is askid-mounted system designed for rapid installation. The adsorbers are pressure vessels completewith all process and carbon transfer piping, valving, and instrumentation. Each adsorber holds afull truckload of 9,072 kg (20,000 lb) of granular carbon and can hydraulically process up to 662l/min (175 gal) of wastewater. When a carbon bed is spent, the spent carbon ispneumatically and hydraulically transferred to . . . Containment and Treatment of the Love Canal Landfill Leachate TemporaryTreatment Program
The carbon feasibility studies were completed in October, 1978. Immediately thereafter, the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "Blue Magoo" was dispatched to the site to provideon-site emergency treatment. First, wastewater generated during construction was collected, pHadjusted, clarified, sand filtered, and carbon treated. Next, treated effluent was analyzed and wasfound to confirm Calgon's study findings. After this process, the New York State Department ofEnvironmental Conservation granted a discharge permit on October 27, 1978.
