maintenance period. Included as part of the survey information, an iso - <br />settlement map and report is to be submitted to the RWQCB. <br />A slope stability analysis is required by 27 CCR, Section 21090 when the <br />closure design includes final slope faces steeper than 3:1 (horizontal to <br />vertical) or a synthetic component in the final cover configuration. The <br />proposed final slopes for the Forward Landfill do not exceed 3:1 and a <br />synthetic component is not proposed, but the slope below the proposed 15 - <br />foot wide bench has an inclination of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical). Therefore, a <br />slope stability analysis was conducted pursuant to 27 CCR, Section <br />21750(f)(5) to review the integrity of final slopes under both static and <br />dynamic conditions. The results of the slope stability analysis are included in <br />To evaluate the static stability of the proposed refuse cover system at various <br />design inclinations and slope heights, the proposed cover configuration was <br />analyzed by typical force equations. For this case, the soil cohesion was <br />neglected. Static refuse cover slope stability (assuming a failure at the <br />cover/MSW interface) for all three slope inclinations analyzed indicates a <br />factor of safety greater than 1.5 <br />To analyze the cover layer itself, the infinite slope method was utilized. This <br />analysis assumes that the failure takes place within the soil cover itself. Two <br />cases were analyzed: unsaturated and fully saturated. Static refuse cover <br />slope stability for the steepest proposed slope inclination of 3.2:1 (horizontal <br />to vertical) indicates an unsaturated factor of safety of 2.31 (typically has to <br />be greater than 1.5) and a saturated factor of safety greater than 1.3 (typically <br />a saturated factor of safety of 1.1 to 1.2 is adequate). <br />The proposed 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) slope below the 15 -foot wide <br />benches was analyzed for static and dynamic stability by the use if the <br />computer program SLOPEM/. The results of the static stability analysis <br />indicate a factor of safety of 1.92. <br />The three proposed cover inclinations and heights were analyzed for dynamic <br />displacement.
