Abstract: Regulations that dictate the management of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-based paint (LBP) debris in the United States require these materials to be managed in a specific manner at the job site to reduce ...

Abstract: The permeability of compacted municipal solid waste in a landfill with respect to air (or gas) flow was estimated using a short-term air injection test. Air was added to 134 vertical wells installed at three different ...

Abstract: This paper reports the in situ field saturated hydraulic conductivity of municipal solid waste at a landfill in Florida. The saturated hydraulic conductivity

Abstract: The occurrence of leachate seepage at side slopes of municipal solid waste landfills represents a major design and operational concern at bioreactor landfills where leachate is recirculated into the waste mass to enhance ...

Abstract: The conversion of a traditional sanitary landfill to a bioreactor landfill typically involves the addition of moisture to the landfill to create an environment that promotes anaerobic waste stabilization. The objective of ...

Abstract: The addition of air to landfilled municipal solid waste (MSW) was examined at an operating bioreactor landfill in Florida. An air-addition system was designed to provide sufficient capacity to aerobically degrade a targeted ...
