Technology Overview Using Case Studies of Alternative Landfill Technologies and Associated Regulatory Topics
Abstract
This case studies document is intended for use by regulators, facility owners and operators, consultants, academics, and stakeholder associated with solid waste, hazardous waste, and mixed waste alternative landfill cover projects. The purpose of the case studies is to present examples of the flexibility used in the regulatory framework for approving alternative landfill cover designs, current research information about the use of alternative covers, and examples of approved designs and constructed covers. The case studies in this document were not designed specifically to answer all of the possible questions that practitioners might have regarding regulatory flexibility, design, construction techniques, or long-term postclosure care associated with alternative landfill covers. Rather, the case studies are presented as they were developed to satisfy the specific needs of the regulators, facilities, and consultants working on the specific projects presented in the documented cases. This ITRC document will be followed by an Alternative Landfill Covers technical/regulatory guidance document that will expand on these topics and include a decision tree for use in evaluating the design, construction, and monitoring of alternative landfill covers.
