a. Why are landfills designed to have a leachate head of 12 inches on the liner? If the leachate head had the potential to build to 24 inches, what is a simple design technique that could relieve the hydraulic pressure on the liner?
b. What are the monitoring requirements for an operational landfill? Create a table to describe what each parameter measures and why knowing this is important.
c. What are the post-closure monitoring requirements? Create a table to describe what each parameter measures and why knowing this is important?
