LANDFILL LEACHATE AND GAS:
Part 2 Landfill Gas:
Occurence, Fate, Transport and Remediation

What should I know about landfill gas to help me better understand it from the perspective of environmental monitoring, data evaluation, impact assessment, and environmental compliance?

This webinar will present an important overview of landfill gas from its origin, collection, monitoring, hazards, environmental fate, and end uses.

For landfills, landfill gas can be a valuable asset and significant liability. The control and management of landfill gas poses one of the greatest operational and financial challenges for the solid waste industry. In this webinar we will discuss the formation and characteristics of landfill gas as a basis for understanding the challenges it creates from an on-site management perspective, health and safety, compliance, and environmental protection. We will discuss how landfill gas production changes over time, how it is managed, and strategies for monitoring the environment. An important topic that will be discussed is the affect landfill gas can have on groundwater, and how groundwater monitoring data can help identify subsurface occurrences of landfill gas. In addition, we will present important information for personnel monitoring landfill gas and for those evaluating environmental monitoring data.

Highlights of the Webinar:

  • Source and formation of landfill gas.
  • Characteristics of landfill gas.
  • Landfill gas collection systems.
  • On-site management issues.
