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

- List THREE (3) characteristics of sanitary landfill that differ from open dumping.arrow_forwardEstimate 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.arrow_forwardList four differences between sanitary (municipal) landfills and secured (hazardous waste) landfills.arrow_forward
- Secure landfills require all but ONE of the following? a. Single liners b. Ground water monitoring C. Financial guarantees for post closure activities d. A Leachate collection systemarrow_forward1. What is the hydraulic gradient between points A and B. 2. What is the minimum elevation of the waste cell. 3. Estimate the travel time for contaminants to reach point A if the protective liner of the landfill cell fails and contaminated liquid seeps into the groundwater.arrow_forwardA sanitary landfill is being designed to handle solid waste generated by the town of Pietro, at a rate of 40 Mg/day. 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. Answer in two decimal value.Also In your solution Compute also the daily horizontal area covered by the solid waste.arrow_forward
- What are the geotechnical consideration of sitting a landfillsarrow_forwardA leachate collection system is being designed for a 10 acre landfill. If the drainage rate through the waste to be collected in the perforated pipe is 1.5 inches/day, determine the expected leachate from the landfill in ft3 /s.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forward
