38
Q

Criteria for Siting a Sanitary Landfill

A

The site selected must be consistent with the overall land use plan of the LGU;
The site must be accessible from major roadways or thoroughfares;
The site should have an adequate quantity of earth cover material that is easily handled and compacted;
The site must be chosen with regard for the sensitivities of the community’s residents;
The site must be located in an area where the landfill’s operation will not detrimentally affect environmentally sensitive resources such as aquifer, groundwater reservoir or watershed area;
The site should be large enough to accommodate the community’s wastes for a period of five (5) years during which people must internalize the value of environmentally sound and sustainable solid waste disposal;
The site chosen should facilitate developing a landfill that will satisfy budgetary constraints, including site development, operation for many years, closure, post-closure care and possible remediation costs;
Operating plans must include provisions for coordinating with recycling and resource recovery projects; and
Designation of a separate containment area for household hazardous wastes.

39
Q

Criteria for Establishment of Sanitary Landfill

A

Liners — a system of clay layers and/or geosynthetic membranes used to contain leachate and reduce or prevent contaminant flow to groundwater;
Leachate collection and treatment system — installation of pipes at the low areas of the liner to collect leachate for storage and eventual treatment and discharge;
Gas control and recovery system — a series of vertical wells or horizontal trenches containing permeable materials and perforated piping placed in the landfill to collect gas for treatment or productive use as an energy source;
Groundwater monitoring well system — wells placed at an appropriate location and depth for taking water samples that are representative of groundwater quality;
Cover — two (2) forms of cover consisting of soil and geosynthetic materials to protect the waste from long-term contact with the environment:
a daily cover placed over the waste at the close of each day’s operations, and
a final cover, or cap, which is the material placed over the completed landfill to control infiltration of water, gas emission to the atmosphere, and erosion.
Closure procedure — with the objectives of establishing low maintenance cover systems and final cover that minimizes the infiltration of precipitation into the waste. Installation of the final cover must be completed within six (6) months of the last receipt of wastes; and
Post-closure care procedure — During this period, the landfill owner shall be responsible for providing for the general upkeep of the landfill, maintaining all of the landfill’s environmental protection features, operating monitoring equipment, remediating groundwater should it become contaminated and controlling landfill gas migration or emission.
