The procedures for disposing of municipal solid waste include vehicles entering east through the gates to the scale house. After entering the site vehicles follow signs toward the active landfill face. After each vehicle unloads they proceed back to the scale house to weigh and pay. Plate 14 shows the tFaffiG flow fer waste plaGernent in Module 1. After waste is deposited at the active face, it is moved by dozers and bladed compactors to its final resting spot. The compactors spread and compact the wastes by making repeated passes over an area. As the process is repeated, each lift of waste receives a number of passes of the compactor which increases the density of the waste. The dozers are used to assist the compactors in moving wastes to meet the rate of disposal. The operators observe dope seddisposed refuse for un_permitted and hazardous wastes. Procedures are established for removing these wastes from the fill area before covering. The direction of filling in each module will be detailed in the design report for the module and will be based on refuse fill stability. Operational issues, such as the direction of access to the module will also be considered in assessing the refuse fill directions for each module. In general, refuse filling in a module will begin on the same side as the boundary with the previous module. Also, refuse filling will occur in uniform lifts between the side slopes to reduce the refuse loads imparted on side slope lining systems. 56.3.
