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.
