1. A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10 m. Seven hundred sixty-five (765) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
For the community of 25,000 people, calculate how many years it would take to fill a football field 20 ft. deep, assuming a soil daily cover is used that accounts for 25% of the landfill volume. (Assume appropriate quantities of refuse, densities,
Landfills are dynamic systems, with several design components. Using no more than three sentences explain why some types of waste are more suitable for final disposal through landfills than other kinds of waste. Very briefly outline the impact of poorly designed landfills on water quality.

- The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 400 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5% diversion for composting and 500 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below: Density of dry solid waste = 425 kg/m3 Daily generation of wet solid waste = 1500 kg Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 38% Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length:width:depth = 5:4:7. QUESTION 2. Estimate the theoretical amount of slow decomposable solid waste (C20H29O9N) required to produce 65 m3of methane (CH4) using the equation below.
