CHARACTERIZATION OF SEPTIC SYSTEM WASTEWATER AND MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL LEACHATE
… United States population means increasing waste production and a corresponding increase in the use and release of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). The increasing volume and changing composition of waste poses new challenges for waste management and the protection of ecosystem, …

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF GAS FLOW WITHIN A MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL
… and modelling of gas flow within a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of design and performance of operation for landfill gas (LFG) extraction and utilization projects. Over recent decades, several numerical models and software …

The municipal solid waste landfill as a source of Montreal Protocol-restricted halocarbons in the United States and United Kingdom
… (US) and United Kingdom (UK) from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. With several hundred MSW landfills in both the US and UK, estimating emissions of MPGs from landfills required a targeted approach. Whole landfill mixing ratios and flow rates were sampled monthly at one landfill in …

An investigation into the impact of sequential filling on properties of emplaced refuse lifts and moisture stored in a municipal solid waste landfill
The majority of investigations on municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills have been undertaken during the post-closure period, and therefore, the changes that occur in the properties of refuse layers placed during the period of infilling are often ignored. The impact of further tipping of refuse …

Containment of Organic Contaminants Using Geosynthetics
… chloride (PVC). In applications such as landfill covers or under-slab vapour barriers to mitigate VOC migration into buildings, these differences in Pg between products may have a significant effect on performance. PCBs were found to have very high partitioning coefficients to HDPE …

Ageing of HDPE Geomembranes Used to Contain Landfill Leachate or Hydrocarbon Spills
… and diffusion of contaminants in municipal solid waste landfill leachate and in hydrocarbon spills to the environment is examined. The evaluation of the ageing of GMs used in landfills involved four components. First, a laboratory-accelerated ageing investigation of a GM exposed to air, …

Calculating and Limiting Local Strains in Geomembranes From Gravel Indentations
… from local gravel indentations in municipal solid waste landfill base geomembrane liners are investigated with an emphasis on quantifying how strains are obtained and providing methods for limiting long-term local geomembrane strains below allowable levels. This involved the development of …

Coal Combustion Waste Disposal Facility Design: Electric Power Cooperative Selby, South Dakota
… coal boiler and a steam turbine generator. Solid wastes generated through the operation of the boiler and associated plant air pollution control systems would be disposed at an onsite landfill. A 202-acre landfill with 10 percent slopes is proposed to manage approximately 685 tons of waste …

Delineation of a coal combustion residue landfill and underlying karst subsurface in Southwest Missouri using ERT and MASW surveys
… containment of coal combustion residual (CCR) in landfills was addressed by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) CCR rule published in 2015. The new rule affects new and existing U.S. based CCR landfills in terms of implementing safeguard systems for safe disposal and contamination …

Assessment of Mississippi Landfill Capacity in Relation to Waste Generation and Land-Use Constraints
<p>Municipal solid waste (MSW) management presents a growing challenge in Mississippi as population trends, socioeconomic change and regional development continue to place pressure on existing landfill capacity. This thesis examines waste generation and disposal patterns from 2000 through 2022 …
