SANITARY LANDFILL MINING - OPERATIONAL INTERIM SLOPE STABILITY ASPECTS

摘要

The concept of designing a sustainable sanitary landfill that reuses the existing landfill footprint has gained much attention in recent years. The sustainable landfill consists of multiple cell phasing and development, partial cell closing, landfill gas capturing, landfill mining, waste material sieving and sorting, and reusing of landfill footprint in phases of development. Landfill mining is a way to reclaim a contaminated old dump or to empty a partially closed cell and thus it becomes an important process of a viable sustainable landfill practice. During landfill mining, many steep slopes will result from waste excavation and relocation.
