Land
Disposal
 Our
personnel have long recognized the importance of having
both a well founded waste reduction and recycling
program and a sound final disposal strategy. The relative
quantities of materials that are finally disposed
on the land depend upon the specific requirements
of the community. We have participated in a variety
of projects related to land disposal, as depicted
by the following representative projects.
| American
Samoa Power Authority -- CalRecovery has
been assisting the Authority in its role as the
provider of waste management services on the South
Pacific island of American Samoa. Some of the
work has included the remediation and closure
of the island's dump; the design and implementation
of a modern sanitary landfill; and monitoring
of the collection, recycling, and disposal operations. |
| Commonwealth
of Northern Mariana Islands -- A landfill
operational training course was conducted on the
island of Saipan. Some of the participants included
a representative of the mayor's office, staff
from the Department of Environmental Quality,
and supervisory and operating staff of the solid
waste division of the islands of Saipan and Tinian.
The training program was divided into classroom
instruction and field training, which included
cell construction, compaction and covering of
waste, and traffic management. |
| U.S.
EPA/SWANA -- Innovative technologies for
managing municipal solid wastes were analyzed
and evaluated. A comprehensive evaluation was
performed of the feasibility of processing landfilled
wastes to recover usable materials and to recover
land resources (landfill mining). The EPA has
used the results of this study as the basis for
determining landfill mining as a feasible technology
for managing landfilled wastes and resource recovery
under the appropriate conditions. |
