The liner system <br /> will consist of a 2 foot thick clay layer immediately below a 60 mil HDPE geomembrane. <br /> A one foot thick sand layer acts as a leachate collection system above the geomembrane. <br /> A non-woven filter geotextile is located between the leachate collection system and an <br /> overlying 6 inch soil layer. The liner system will support one hundred feet of waste. The <br /> engineering parameters for the soil and waste are as follows: <br /> Thickness(ft.) Unit Weight(lbslcf) Effective Friction <br /> Angle(degrees) <br /> Clay 2 130 28 <br /> Sand 1 120 32 <br /> General Fill .5 120 32 <br /> MSW 100 70 25 <br /> (9) <br />
