Three test sections were constructed and instrumented to assess the hydrologic behavior of
earthen final covers at two municipal solid waste landfills. A traditional design using a …

The water balance of three test sections simulating earthen landfill final covers has been
evaluated. These test sections are located in the US at landfills in humid (Live Oak, Atlanta …

This document describes installation procedures for test sections constructed for the
Alternative Cover Assessment Program (ACAP). An ACAP test section is designed to …

This paper presents the design, construction, and monitoring of two uncompacted and one
compacted clay field-scale test sections that were built and instrumented at a landfill near …

A study was conducted at 12 sites across the United States to evaluate field-scale hydrology
of landfill final covers using water balance methods to control percolation. The sites were …

Six large-scale landfill test covers were constructed and monitored for water balance from
May 1997 through June 2002. Two of the covers were used as US EPA standard baseline …

Hydrologic data measured from two earthen final cover test sections constructed on actual
landfill final covers are presented with predictions made using two water balance models …

A study was conducted in southern Georgia, USA, to evaluate how the hydraulic properties
of the compacted clay barrier layer in a final landfill cover changed over a 4-year service life …

A study was conducted at seven sites across the United States to evaluate the field
hydrology of final covers with a composite barrier (a geomembrane over a soil barrier or a …

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Alternative Cover Assessment Program (ACAP) was initiated
in March 1998 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address a growing …
