1 Effect of Perched Water Conditions in MSW Landfills: Considerations for Landfill Operators Timothy Townsend and Pradeep Jain Department of Environmental Engineering University of Florida 2005 SWANA Landfill Symposium Bolder, Colorado
2 Motivation At last year s landfill symposium, several presentations and audience comments described the issue of saturated waste layers in the deeper parts of landfills. The presence and cause of these saturated layers can be interpreted differently. The question that we asked: what should one expect?

6 Landfill Gas Well MSW LCRS Liner
7 Landfill Gas Well Water Surface LCRS Liner
8 Implications of Perched Water Problems with gas recovery? Slope stability concerns? Leachate collection system problems? Future side slope seepage issues?

13 Slope stability concerns Landfill Gas Well LCRS Liner
14 The implications of the perched liquids depend on their true nature within the landfill

18 Slope stability concerns Landfill Gas Well LCRS Liner
19 Slope stability concerns Landfill Gas Well LCRS Liner
20 Slope stability concerns Landfill Gas Well LCRS Liner
21 Let s examine the scenario where only waste around the well is saturated Some source of water is added to the well at a rate greater that it can drain out. Possible sources: Gas condensate Perched zones of leachate in the landfill Short circuiting from liquids addition

32 Let s examine the scenario where saturated conditions will develop in the landfill even if barrier layers are not present If the liquids are added to the landfill at a rate greater than the hydraulic conductivity, saturated conditions will result
33 Consider a Liquids Infiltration Pond The waste underneath the pond will become saturated In the absence of cover soil layers, a saturated zone will extend to the leachate collection system

48 Review The existence of standing liquids in gas wells in landfills does not necessarily result from a phreatic liquid surface in the landfill. Liquids added to wells as a result of perched layers in the landfill, gas condensate or other sources can result in relatively large depths of water in the well.
49 Review The decreasing permeability of landfilled waste with depth should have impact. Saturated waste conditions may be present, but the pressure of this water may not be accurately reflected by the depth of water that would be measured if a well was installed. At large liquid addition rates, saturated conditions in deeper layers may develop.
50 Implications The presence of liquids in gas wells in dry landfills should not automatically assumed to represent a phreatic surface. In wet landfills, the liquid levels in wells may result from both situations. When evaluating slope stability, careful thought must be given to the pressures that truly occur. Leachate collection systems need to be designed and operated correctly.
