Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently promulgated revisions to the Solid Waste Disposal Facility Criteria under Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). hese revisions create a need for tools to predict the performance of facilities regulated under Subtitle D. Mathematical models, based on site-specifi6 data, provide a means to estimate the effects of a variety of designs and hydrogeologic conditions on the generation and migration of leachate at a Subtitle D facility. eachate generation and migration are influenced by numerous interrelated physical, chemical, and biological processes that can occur during the lifetime of a waste disposal facility. any of these processes are discussed in this report. ome processes are well understood and easily described by mathematical models, The mathematical representation of other processes is the subject of current research. his report focuses on the general state-of-the-art in modeling leachate generation and migration. ssues related to selection of models for application to specific scenarios are also discussed.
