Landfill problems can be controlled with due consideration to
the following steps:
Suitable liner to prevent the migration of leachate or gas
Leachate collection and removal systems as well as
proper treatment of the leachate
Ground water monitoring
Gas collection and control systems as well as use for
energy recovery.
Final cover to prevent infiltration of water
Waste disposal recycling processing minimization
Maximum hydraulic
conductivity = 10-7 cm/sec
Leachate recirculation
