Sustainability Assessment of Subtitle D Cover versus Biocover for Methane Oxidation at Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
A life cycle analysis (LCA) was conducted in this study to evaluate the sustainability of using two different widely adopted cover system designs, the Subtitle D cover and the biocover. The two cover systems were designed according to RCRA regulations using a field-validated, California landfill methane inventory model (CALMIM). The cover systems were designed for an IEPA-listed, active landfill site (Countryside Landfill Inc.) located in the Chicago Metropolitan area. Environmental sustainability analysis for the two cover system designs was performed using SimaPro (version 7). Economic and social sustainability analysis was methodically performed for both the cover systems. Overall, this study showed that the biocover system is a more sustainable option when compared with the Subtitle D cover system by accounting for sustainability metrics involving environmental, social, and economical aspects.
