All aspects of sanitary landfills are covered, including site selection, design, pollution control, operation, and final closure. Special attention is given to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 'Guidelines for the Land Disposal of Solid Waste,' which are mandatory for Federal agencies. (Author)
