Book Description
President Carter's 1980 declaration of a state of emergency at Love Canal, New York, recognized that residents' health had been affected by nearby chemical waste sites. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, enacted in 1976, ushered in a new era of waste management disposal designed to protect the public from harm. It required that modern waste containment systems use "engineered" barriers designed to isolate hazardous and toxic wastes and prevent them from seeping into the environment. These containment systems are now employed at thousands of waste sites around the United States, and their effectiveness must be continually monitored. Assessment of the Performance of Engineered Waste Containment Barriers assesses the performance of waste containment barriers to date. Existing data suggest that waste containment systems with liners and covers, when constructed and maintained in accordance with current regulations, are performing well thus far. However, they have not been in existence long enough to assess long-term (postclosure) performance, which may extend for hundreds of years. The book makes recommendations on how to improve future assessments and increase confidence in predictions of barrier system performance which will be of interest to policy makers, environmental interest groups, industrial waste producers, and industrial waste management industry.

Book Description
Design, Construction, and Monitoring of Landfills A New Edition of the reference book more professionals are turning to— Like its successful first edition, this updated Second Edition of Design, Construction, and Monitoring of Landfills provides easy access to the current theory and practice of landfill engineering. Using an integrated, multidisciplinary approach, it serves as the ideal desk reference for environmental, civil, and geotechnical engineers, hydrogeologists, and others involved in hazardous and non-hazardous waste disposal. This new edition features material on landfill operation, the latest advances in waste handling, and new liner and cover technologies. This book offers a wealth of state-of-the-art information, such as: Landfill site selection methods Maintaining quality control during construction The economic analysis of landfills The fundamentals of landfill monitoring Attenuation: how it works, factors affecting it, the design of attenuation landfills Strategies for dealing with leachate, gas, and storm water How to estimate the costs of construction, operation, final closure, and long-term monitoring of landfills No other single source offers as much time- and money-saving information on landfills as Design, Construction, and Monitoring of Landfills by Amalendu Bagchi. For government agencies, consulting firms, environmental engineers, and others involved in waste management, it is sure to become a standard reference.
