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.
Highlights of the Webinar:
Source and formation of leachate.
Characteristics of leachate.
Landfill design and leachate collection systems.
On-site management issues.
Environmental risks posed by leachate.
Treatment and disposal alternatives.
Sampling considerations.
Monitoring strategies.
Identifying environmental impacts.
Attendees will:
Understand nature and characteristics of leachate.
Know how landfills are designed to contain, manage, and remove leachate.
Be able to recognize management problems.
Gain an understanding of the challenges facing owner/operators.
Help identify treatment and disposal alternatives.
