Solid Waste Webinar Series: Landfill Design & Ops Issues
August 6, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
This session will look at two design aspects unique to landfill final covers. First, we will discuss the use of synthetic turf materials as the top surface of the final cover and how this type of system can be superior to traditional covers in areas where vegetation is difficult to establish. Next, we will discuss the use of waste settlement calculations to determine the optimal top deck slope for the landfill.
