3. Landfills often use clay soils to control the flow of fluids in
and out of the landfill. At the sides and bottom of the landfill
compacted clay liners are used to contain the accumulating
fluid within the landfill (called leachate). At the top of the
landfill, clay cover systems keep water from rain and snow
from infiltrating into the landfill and creating excess leachate.
The fluid flow through these liner systems can generally be
approximated as one-dimensional flow.
Leachate containing trichloroethylene collects on the
clay liner at the bottom of the landfill as shown in the figure
below. Below the clay liner is a gravel layer that collects the
leachate so it can be pumped out and treated. There is a
second clay layer below the gravel layer to prevent leachate
from entering the groundwater below. For the hydraulic
conditions shown in the figure and a typical effective porosity
of the clay of 0.10, compute:
(1) The total amount of leachate that must be collected and
treated each year. Assume the total area of the landfill base
is 5,000 m².
(2) The time it takes the leachate to penetrate through the top
clay liner.
