Estimate the life of a landfill for a user population of 10,000. The available area for the are-type landfill is 10 acres. The water table is estimated at 6.1m(20ft) below the ground surface. The pit must have side slope of 1:3 and the final surface must have a slope of 1:4. Assume that soil (used as daily cover) occupies 20% of the compacted volume of waste
Estimate the life of a landfill (years) given a population of 250,000 people, 40 acre,
a maximum depth of 50 feet below ground, a pit slope of 1:3 and final slope of 1:4. The coversoil occupies 22% of the compacted volume. There is a 42% diversion rate, the waste is compacted to 1,270 lb/yd3, the population is stable and generates 6.2 lb/capita/day. The landfill area is square and the max height of the landfill is 33 yd.
Which of the ff. is false regarding compaction in a solid waste landfill? a. It extends the life of the solid waste landfill. b. It discourages insects and rodents. C. It reduces the possibility of waste runoff/leachate. d. It reduces storm water runoff or infiltration.

It is expected that the waste will be delivered by compactor truck on a 5 days/week basis. The density as spread is 129 kg/m3. It will be spread in 0.8 meter layers and compacted to 0.3 meters. Assuming 2 such lifts per day and a daily cover of 0.13 meters, box your answer the annual volume of landfill consumed in cubic meters. Ignore the soil volume between the stacks.
