Leachate Screening Considerations

Abstract

The purpose of this technical note is to present an approach for development of a leachate screening protocol. The protocol will evaluate the acceptability of confined disposal of dredged material and the need to perform laboratory testing and unsaturated and saturated ground- water modeling. This technical note presents the main factors that will be considered during the development of the leachate screening procedures. The impact of these factors on the leachate quality exposed to receptors will be examined, and relationships among the dominant factors and leachate quality will be developed for use in the screening procedures.
