Abstract
The technical resource document provides recommended procedures for evaluating the effectiveness of liquid transmission control systems for hazardous waste landfill and surface impoundments. The procedures described allow an evaluator to determine the performance of (1) compacted clay liners intended to impede the vertical flow of liquids, (2) sand or gravel drainage layers used to convey liquids laterally into collection systems (3) slopes on such liner/drain layers, and (4) spacings of collector drain pipes. The mathematical principles that describe the transport of liquids through hazardous waste landfills and surface impoundments are technically complex. Faced with the situation, it is tempting to circumvent these difficulties by reverting to empiricism or rules of thumb. In the manual, however, this has been avoided by using linearized versions of complicated mathematical equations and by using simplified boundary conditions. Thus, the evaluator is able to assess the performance of a design using algebraic equations.
