Therefore the alternative final cover design for the Forward Landfill will <br />consist of the following: <br />• A one -foot thick foundation layer composed of select soil materials, a one <br />foot (±) is in-place as interim cover. The depth of the interim cover will be <br />verified and additional cover will be placed to achieve the one -foot <br />thickness. <br />• A three-foot thick layer of select soil material that will comprise the upper <br />monolithic cover layer. <br />A typical cross-section of the proposed alternative final cover system is <br />shown on Detail 1 of Drawing Sheet D-1. <br />The alternative final cover configuration has been designed to: <br />• Ensure the containment of waste materials; <br />• Minimize the infiltration of water from rain and provide a vegetative cover <br />of native shrubs and grasses; <br />• Prevent exposure of people and animals to waste; <br />• Limit landfill gas emissions; <br />• Minimize odor; <br />• Control fires; and <br />• Provide for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. <br />The final cover was designed by a certified engineering geologist in <br />accordance with State and Federal regulations and will be constructed in <br />accordance with this PFCPCMP. Closure activities will commence upon <br />approval of this PFCPCMP. <br />3.2.2 FINAL COVER CONSTRUCTION <br />Clearing and Grubbing <br />Prior to final grading and placement of the final cover, all existing vegetative <br />materials will be removed from the surface without disturbing the underlying <br />refuse. All deleterious materials generated by the clearing and grubbing <br />operation will be disposed in the active portions of the landfill. The <br />segregated soils will be used to construct final cover. <br />Forward Landfill PFCPCMP 3-4 <br />Z:\PROJECTS\Al lied waste\Forward\Reference Files Prior JTDWune 05 Stage IA Partial FCPCMP\FL-sec3.doc: 6/16/2008 <br />
