In addition, long-term landfill settlement can also have a great impact on site <br /> capacity and may average 25 percent of the total refuse thickness. The total <br /> effects of settlement will depend on various factors or processes such as the <br /> types of refuse placed and their corresponding moisture content, the refuse <br /> placement density, consolidation of the refuse under loads imposed by overlying <br /> fill, and biological and chemical decomposition. It is estimated that much of this <br /> total settlement will occur during the operating life of the landfill and will be <br /> accounted for in periodic topographic surveys. <br /> Remaining site capacity will be evaluated peTiodicaffy and arty significant° <br /> changes will be addressed during future operating permit revisions. <br /> Forward Landfill JTD 4-11 <br /> L:\Allied\2000.193\Reports\fina Ijtd:Sec-4.0.doc:08/20/01 <br /> BRYAN A.STIRRAT 6 ASSOCIATES <br />
