Abstract
The report details the results of a three-year project intended to formulate construction criteria for sanitary landfills and improvements that would lead to optimum land development and maximum use. The investigation of landfills that had been built in an uncontrolled fashion led to the conclusion that the movement of gas away from landfills can be minimized and that ultimate subsidence can be predicted. Methods for doing this are presented. In addition, a leachate pollution index was established, a model ordinance for locating, constructing, and operating sanitary landfills was drawn up, and research suggestions were developed.
