I am preparing a report about the rules and regulations of sanitary landfills. Those sanitary landfills will be used to host domestic solid wastes, demolitions, and agricultural wastes. any suggestions?
I would like to start that the idea of a landfill is great, but beyond landfilling what are you going to do with landfills? will you collect leachate for industrial, agricultural? or commercial purposes? Will you also like to pilot waste sorting and recycling and reuse of components??
What is the long term vision of the proposed landfill?? Will it generate bio gas for domestic? Industrial? alternative power supply?
These are my initial thoughts...
Well,
In additions, What did you attend about the avoidance of groundwater pollution and what is the initial design of the sanitary landfill, and whether the role of the hydro- meteorological factors such as rain and floods was determined, in addition to choosing the proper topographic site of the landfill.
Sincerely
Include a short bit about design for mining and land reclamation. In additional to liners, caps, and gas and leachate treatment, when people try to mine a landfill the material tends to cave in and have explosive gas jets. The material will be worthless. The land is what they are trying to recover. A mining and reclamation plan is as important and a long term closure and maintenance plan.
Initially, Landfills should not be completely in contact with groundwater to minimize pollution process and then one thinks about what was introduced by Julia R Mueller and Mujeeb Adams
Here are the requirements for South Africa. I hope you find them useful!
here is a link to the Province of Alberta, Canada's rules and regulations. http://aep.alberta.ca/waste/waste-facilities/landfills.aspx.
Some consideration should be given to the siting of a landfill as well - in Alberta and other jurisdictions there is a requirement to separate landfill activities from other uses.
Here is another document that is used in South Africa. Section 8 goes around the actual construction. When designing landfills in South Africa, both documents are used. Carol Kehoe's comment is of course, valid for all waste management activities in South Africa as well.
Except the standard construction, I think the normative and strict operation and supervision is very important.
