Design and construction of the barrier system for the Halton Landfill

Abstract: Considerations related to the design of the Halton Landfill as a "hydraulic trap" are summarized together with the research that was conducted to support the design concept. The interrelationship between hydrogeology and the engineered design is examined. Laboratory experiments demonstrated that there can be diffusion away from a source, even with significant inward velocity. Existing theory was found to provide a good prediction of the observed concentration profile in these experiments. It is also shown that… Show more

“…In order to minimize the impact on groundwater quality, a landfill would need to be designed with a barrier system consisting of at least a leachate underdrain system and compacted clay liner or a composite liner (Rowe, 2001;Rowe et al, 2000). For example the Keele valley landfill in Toronto, Canada, provides a welldocumented case of a landfill where the waste is separated from the surrounding sand by a compacted clay liner (King et al, 1993).…”
