RBS is produced by mixing select combinations of municipal waste ash and compost materials. RBS is a preferred soil medium for use in treating contaminated waters due to favorable macro and micro porosity, which are typically around 20 and 40 percent, respectively, even when compacted. Retirement from SUNY ESF was the only way to free up the time to do the many things that I've been looking forward to for so many years. I haven't been able to fish the Bog Meadow or hunt in the ADKS for more than a day at a time in many years. There are many dams just waiting to be designed and constructed so we can have more ponds and lakes around NYS as well as in other states near and far.
Work is also underway in developing a related technology for treating municipal sewage sludge.
Combining these initiatives with a number of other activities I've been cooking up since getting serious about retiring should keep me fairly active and limber. Let's keep in touch.
