LANDFILL LEACHATE AND GAS:
Part 1 Landfill Leachate:
Occurence, Fate, Transport and Remediation

This webinar will present a valuable overview of landfill leachate from its origin, on-site handling, treatment and disposal, and environmental monitoring.

In this webinar we will discuss the formation and characteristics of leachate as a basis for understanding the challenges it creates from an on-site management perspective and environmental protection. We will discuss how leachate is managed at modern landfills and strategies for monitoring the environment. In addition, we will present important information for personnel sampling leachate, and for those evaluating environmental monitoring data.

For landfills, leachate is the driver behind many state and federal regulations designed to prevent a release to the environment. These regulatory requirements will also be presented.
