Long-term management strategies

Reburial of waterlogged wood in the marine environment is now becoming increasingly common practice in managing wooden historic wrecks in situ, predominantly due to the prohibitive conservation costs. Remedial strategies that are appropriate and cost-effective are fundamental pre-requisites for the successful long-term management of underwater wreck sites.

Chemical, cultural, and mechanical weed control practices have been relatively successful ia reducing yield losses from weeds (448). However, herbicide-resistant weed populations, soil erosion, pesticide persistence ia the environment, and other problems associated with technologies used (ca 1993) to control weeds have raised concerns for the long-term efficacy and sustainability of herbicide-dependent crop production practices (449). These concerns, coupled with ever-increasing demands for food and fiber, contribute to the need for innovative weed management strategies (450). 

Jissuring technical excellence. Processes are in place to secure and maintain technical excellence (99) among the firm s scientists, engineers, and managers (Fig. 7). The long-term R D strategy includes the needed personnel development processes. 

The key point to remember is that your company s top management s day-to-day priorities are almost certainly different from yours. Their job is to guide the company as a whole, over the long term. In determining how best to do this, they must consider business operations in the context of a range of factors (economic, social, political) that influence corporate strategy. 

Residual hydrocarbons will continue to serve as a source of groundwater contamination thus, remediation strategies for DNAPLs should emphasize long-term control and management (i.e., source containment, pool control, and recovery) vs. short-term fixes. Regardless of an increased level of effort (i.e., additional wells, increased pumping rates, etc.), the overall time for remediation is not expected to shorten by more than a factor of five.
