Synopses & Reviews
A state-of-the art review of both hazardous and nonhazardous waste landfills. Offers detailed coverage of both NA and containment-type landfills. Emphasis is on practice rather than theory--examining site selection criteria, generation of leachate, characterization of waste, and methods of designing gas venting systems. Provides calculations and drawings now in use, but not available in the published literature. Includes discussion of landfill economics and shows how to retrofit NA landfills into containment form. Contains an extensive bibliography.
