Ot.·~ign c.·on~idc.·ralions for 1hc finc.'-lcxturcd ~oil la)cr of the Capillary Barrier sysrem indudt" all of lhos-: lil-ted for the ET Cover Sy~tcm. The facror of safety considerations lisrcd for rhe C.'T Co\'cr System m>~y nol. however. he applicabl~ for a Capillary Barrier Sy!'tem. In rcneral. the rapiflary barrier enhances the water storage capacity of the fine­textured !.oil layer. Con!>cqucntly. this layer will not need to be as thick as that in the ET Covc:r System. In fact, the fine-textured soil layer must be thick enough to store infiltrating water, yet thin enough so that all of the stored water can later be removed via ET. Thus, the de!iign con~idcrations for a capillary harrier involve determining the proper finc-tuturcd soil layer thickness and slope ~;radicnt .to minimize the percolation of water through this layer. In general, layer thickness and slope gradient requirements dc:~nd on dimatological inf(,rmation for the specific site (e.g., precipitation, rempcrature, humidiry), the characteristics of the soils used in the cover (e.g., water !itoragc capacity, hydraulic ccmdul·ti\·iry. tcxrure). Other factors that should be taken imo l·onsideration include !'uch things as ~lope ~tabiliry, vegetation characteristics, and desiccation (Dwyer, I 997).

The type of 'oil u~cd for lht• fult' or UJ\l'T o..oil layer affects the \\atcr 'turage cap:..city of a l'apill&lT)' harrier.

IAiff'ful cli\'f·nion · The lateroll di' l'n-ion capacity nf the fine layer is dependent in large part nn the hydraulic rnnductivity of the fine layer. In ~cnt'ral. the hydraulic conductivity of clays. ~ilts and ln:uns is too low to permit apprcdahlc Iitteral diversion. Field tests of t·apillary harrier~ with homopt'lll"ous fine layers indit·atc that the effective diversion lengths are Jess than 10m (Nyhan et al. 1990, Hakon ... un er al. 1994. Stonnont 1995, Stonnont 1996). Thl."se short diver ... ion kn~;ths arc a t·on..,cqucnce of the relatively low hydraulic nmdul·ti\'ity of the finc·~;nrinrd soib ,;omparl'd to the infiltration rate during stressful periods when the soil is rel:!tivcly wet (e.g .. spring snowmelt). Thus, soils that are often preferred a~ a rooting mt•dium and for their water storage capacity (e.g .• loams. ~ilts) may not be wnductive enough ro -.uho;tantially divert soil water laterally.

Analog !-.ludi~s involve the use of loEical analogy to inw,ligatc natural and an:hal·ological nccurrent·cs of materials. nmditions. or prot·cs!'oC'- that arc -.irnilar to tho-.c kn11wn or prcdi,·tcd to occur in .. orne pan of the engineered cover system (W<JUgh 1994).

One appli\'<tlinn for analog studies (Suter IY9~. Mulder and Haven 1995. Dwyer 1997, Waugh and Smith 1997) is to as,l·~s the l'ffcctiwness of deployed prescriptive l;tndfill l'O\·crs. Another use is to look at the potential effectiveness of alternative covers. A numher of !'tudics l·itcd earlier in thi<. l·haptcr hil\C ilkntificd that the prescriptive covers. and their dcpl·ndcm:e on their dity harrier layer maintaining its impermeability d~ not perform as wciJ as they were originally intended to.

Some inwstigation wiil he ncn·s~;1ry to determine: 1he landfill's waste contents and their rcl<ttive ham1ful life cxpcl'lancy. M;.rtcrials o,urh as radioactive waste can be hannful for a very long time. A natural analog is warranted to detennine the cover systems performance over this kn1;th of lime. One po~:-.iolc analog may be derived by trenching adj;Kcnt to the site in an undisturbed a1ca and determining the depth of plam roots. This can rc\'cal the general depth of infiltration. Another melhod of determining the average Jong·term depth of water penetration (or infiltralinn depth) is to trench lldjacent to the !'ite in un undisturhcd area to dctcnnine the d..:pth of l'akiurn carbonate deposits or fonnation of a ~::.tliche layer (Figure 8). Soils in sl'mialid and arid regions commonly have carhonatc·ril·h horizons at some (kpth hdnw the surface. The position of the CaC03 hearing horizon is therefore rdatl'd to depth of k:rching. which. in tum. is related to climate (Birkeland 1984).

The panial prt•:o-,ur~ of CO: is hirh its ;t Tl''uh of C02 proJun·d hy root and microorganism JC'l>piration and orsanic m;Jttcr dc.·l·ompn ... ltion. Thus. one would expect the highest C02 panial prc,,ute to be as!>.ociated with the A horizon lm:atcd ncar the surface. with values dimini ... hin~ down lo the ~;~~ of thl· wnc of root". In arid and ~cmi-arid regions. the qu<~ntiry of Witter kachin~ throu!!h the 'ml is al,o £Cncrally Ereater ncar the surface than at depth.

Combining the cffeft!i of hifh C02 partial prco;sure and downward-percolating water. we mi~ht \'isualize the fonnation of a CaCOrrich horizon as follows. In the upper zont of the soil. Cat. m<ty alrt-ady he pre!icnt or may he derived by weathering of calciurn-he:1ring minerals. Due to plant growth and biological activity, C(h panial ptel'SUJC is high and fonm; uco:l· upon contact with water. Water leaching through the profile '"an n1rry the Cal• and HC01. dnwnw&~rd in the profile. Precipitation of CaC03 to form a caliche horizon would take plat:c by a comhination of decreasing C02 panial pressure hclow the 10ne of rnotinB ;md major hiologkal activity and the progressive increase in Ca,.. and HC03' cOJKl'ntrations with depth in the soil solution as the water rcrcolates downward and water is lost by 1."\'apotran!ipiration. The position (depth) of the CaC03. bearing horiz.on is therefore related to dt·pth of Jc:Jching, which, in tum. is related to the climate.

6.0 Equh·alt>nce Dt>tuminalion of an Altt•rnativt Cover System vtrsus a Prt-5\'rlplln Laandfill Cover

A landfill nwer system must be able to protect and bolate waste for the length of ti~ thOfiC contaminants are deemed harmful to the surrounding community. The cover must limit pcr"olation into the underlying waste, thereby minimizing leachate generation. and remain intact for the dunttion of its dc,ign life. This includes erosion control with minimal or no mainrenance requirements.

There i~ an incrcal'ling trend throuBhout the country to Jirel·tly !'uhstitute alternative cover acchnulogies for conventional landfill wvcr desiens. As data nn ellisting landfill system performance is dncurncntcd, prt•s,·riptivc l'O\Cf dc.·signs utilizing impermeable clay barrier~ are hdng shown lobe less effective than the dcsitrn intended (Mulder and Haven 1995).

10.0 Post-Closure !\fonftorfng of Landfill Covers

Po,.r-cJosure seulemcnr monitoring should t:onsider hoth total landfill settlements and differential landfill !>Clllemcnts. Total post-closure settlements for MSW landfills will typically be in the range of S to 20% of the initial landfill thidncss measured at the time of closure. Total sculements for old ~1SW dumps will rypical1y be J:.~rger than for modem MSW landfiJJs. Procedures for monitoring total landfill settlements include: (i) ~u.·rial surveys, which arc generally limited to a vertical accuracy of &bout 100 to 200 mm with guod ground control; (ii) in~trumcntaJ ~round survt:ys of settlement monuments installed on the landfill, which can achieve high predsion (vcnicaJ accuracy to within les!l than J mm). bul which ;arc more costly than aerial surveys unless the area to be ~urveyed is quire small.

The type of matl·rial ~unounding the ronductors influt·rtccs a wa\ eform traveling down a coaxial '-";1hlc or waH·guide.
