The goal of waste disposal in landfills is to reduce risk to human health by isolating
contaminants until they no longer pose a hazard. To achieve this, the performance of a …

Determining the appropriate criteria and designs for hazardous waste landfill covers has
spawned much discussion within the environmental remediation arena. Very little reliable …

The results from several field experiments on methods to control soil erosion, biointrusion,
and water infiltration were used to design and test an enhanced landfill cover that improves …

Landfill covers are critical to waste containment, yet field performance of specific cover
designs has not been well documented and seldom been compared in side‐by‐side testing …

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 …

A study was conducted at sites in subtropical Georgia, seasonal and humid Iowa, and arid
southeastern California to evaluate the field hydrology of compacted clay covers for final …

The design of a top-cover system is a very important aspect of the closure of sanitary
landfills. Soil material properties, sequencing, and vegetation are critical to top-cover design …

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 …

The goal of radioactive and hazardous waste disposal in shallow landfills is to reduce risk to
human health and to the environment by isolating contaminants until they no longer pose 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 …
