Sustainability aspects of geosynthetic landfill final cover systems
Progressively, geosynthetics have been used in combination with and in lieu of natural materials to solve complex geotechnical problems while offering a drastic reduction in carbon emissions and minimizing environmental impacts. Commonly used final cover systems for landfills and containment areas include soil-only, soil-geosynthetic, engineered turf cover (ETC), and evapotranspiration (ET) cover system. This presentation provides a detailed review of various sustainability aspects of a geosynthetic ETC including comparisons with traditional covers. Sustainability aspects considered include carbon emissions; deforestation, land use change and borrow areas; land, soil and water conservation; run-off water quality and downstream impacts; reduction in fugitive landfill gas emissions; and beneficial reuse opportunities.
