DESCRIPTION

Working with a team consisting of three other members, a Subtitle D landfill was designed to meet the solid waste disposal needs of a nearby community for 30 years. The landfill facility consists of five cells that were configured to last approximately six years each, and the following components were included as part of the overall design:

  • Landfill sizing and cell configuration
  • Foundation grading
  • Bottom liner system
  • Leachate collection and removal system (LCRS)
  • Leachate storage system
  • Leachate pump station

MY CONTRIBUTIONS

  • AutoCAD drawings
  • Bottom liner grading calculations
  • Creating and running EPA HELP Model simulations to determine leachate impingement rates through the bottom liner in multiple scenarios
  • Leachate primary and secondary tank sizing calculations
  • Assistance with technical memo write-ups
