Design Study of an Above-Grade Landfill

by Mark T. Bowers, Univ of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA,
Elizabeth Jones, Univ of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Environmental Engineering

Abstract:

A design study on the feasibility of utilizing an above-grade landfill for the disposal of hazardous wastes has been completed. This design study comprised three phases of work - a literature review, a design phase, and a permit review study. While further work needs to be completed, the concept of an above-grade landfill meeting all RCRA requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste appears to be quite promising.
