Landfill leachate control
Project Dewatering has carried out many projects relating to the control of leachate from landfill sites.
The term “leachate” refers to liquids that migrate from the waste carrying dissolved or suspended contaminants. Leachate results from precipitation entering the landfill and from moisture that exists in the waste when it is disposed. Contaminants in the buried refuse may result from the disposal of industrial waste, ash, waste treatment sludge, household hazardous wastes, or from normal waste decomposition. If uncontrolled, landfill leachate can be responsible for contaminating ground water and surface water.
