Alternative Covers for Landfills,
Waste Repositories: Design, Modeling,
Construction, and Monitoring
This 2 day
workshop will be held in conjunction
with the
symposium and will be held on Tuesday
and Wednesday, April 15-16, 8 am - 5 pm.
The workshop is
intended to teach consultants and
engineers how to design and submit
quality proposals for ET covers, and to
teach regulators how to evaluate those
proposals. Participants will get an
understanding of the hydraulic
properties of these covers, how to
optimize designs with models, and how to
ensure that the final product is
environmentally protective. The most
current research on field performance,
monitoring, economics and construction
techniques will be presented. Topics may
include alternative cover design,
construction, operation, and monitoring,
including discussions of regulatory
issues, soil physics, plant-soil-water
relations, hydraulic balance,
saturated/unsaturated water movement,
and computer modeling. Regional case
studies will be emphasized. Study
results and lessons learned from the USEPA Alternative Covers Assessment
Program will be discussed.
