Base Liner—The base liner with leachate collection and removal systems designed to prevent leachate migration from the bottom of the cell.
Disposed Waste—The contaminated wastes, consisting of treated and untreated wastes, were placed and stabilized within the cell in a controlled and engineered manner to reduce settling, minimize volume, and retard radon emissions.
Clean-Fill Dike—The clean-fill dike, constructed of compacted clay soil material, surrounds the disposal cell in order to resist erosion, limit infiltration of moisture into the waste, minimize radon emissions, and reduce long-term maintenance.
Cover—The cover systems armor the top of the cell protecting it from erosion, infiltration, bio intrusion, etc. It consists of multiple layers including (from bottom to top) an infiltration/radon barrier of clay, a geosynthetic liner, a gravel drain, sand filter, and a mixture of cobbles.
