Field Verification of Liners from Sanitary Landfills

摘要

Liner specimens from three existing landfill sites were collected and examined to determine the changes in their physical properties over time and to validate data being developed through laboratory research. Samples examined included a 15-mil PVC liner from a sludge lagoon in New England, a 30-mil PVC liner from a landfill in New York State, and four liners from a landfill test site in Boone County, Kentucky-chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), clay, and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE).
