BASE LEACHATE COLLECTION AND REMOVAL SYSTEM DESIGN <br /> WMU FU-08 NORTHERN PORTION <br /> FORWARD LANDFILL <br /> PROBLEM: <br /> Size the leachate collection and removal system components for the base of WMU FU-08 in the northern <br /> portion of the cell. <br /> GIVEN: <br /> These calculations were previously performed for the WMUs D-95,D-97,D-98,D-99,D-00,D-01,D-02, <br /> ART-03,FU-04,FU-05,and FU-06 design. The same methodology for performing the previous <br /> calculations was used for the WMU FU-08 calculations. Previous calculations are used,referenced,and <br /> attached,where applicable. <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> 1. Required permeability of granular drainage material is 0.1 cm/sec and the granular drainage material is <br /> a minimum 0.5-ft thick. <br /> 2. Required permeability of coarse gravel is 1 cm/sec <br /> 3. Specify 3-inch diameter, SDR 11 HDPE pipe. <br /> 4. Specify perforation pattern for pipes of 1/4-inch diameter holes drilled at third points every 6-inches <br /> along pipe length. <br /> 5. Leachate shall be routed via the header pipe to a temporary tank. Once completed and approved,the <br /> leachate can be routed to the base of the southern portion of WMU FU-08. <br />
