Geotechnology for Environmental Control at Waste Disposal Sites
Abstract Geotechnical engineers are playing an important role in designing and constructing environmental control measures at waste disposal sites by providing ground water protection measures, by capturing green house gas emissions and by ensuring stability of slopes. This paper presents an amalgamation of research findings and field applications of work done by the author and associated researchers over the past two decades in the area of environmental geotechnology. These findings and applications are related to (a) evaluation of groundwater hazard rating for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, (b) closure of high MSW waste dumps, (c) important lessons for landfill design and construction, (d) costing of landfills, (e) closure of tailings ponds and (f) incremental raising of height of embankments of ash ponds.
