BASE AND SLOPE LEACHATE COLLECTION AND REMOVAL SYSTEM DESIGN <br /> WMU FU-10 <br /> FORWARD LANDFILL <br /> PROBLEM: <br /> Size the leachate collection and removal system components for the base and slope in WMU FU-10. <br /> GIVEN: <br /> These calculations were previously performed for the WMUs D-95,D-97,D-98,D-99,D-00,D-0 1,D-02, <br /> FU-03,FU-04,FU-05,FU-06 and FU-08 design. The same methodology for performing the previous <br /> calculations was used for the WMU FU-10 calculations. Previous calculations are used,referenced,or <br /> attached,where applicable. <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> 1. Required permeability of granular drainage material is 0.1 cm/sec. <br /> 2. Required permeability of coarse gravel is 1 cm/sec. <br /> 3. Specify 6-inch diameter,SDR 11 HDPE pipe. <br /> 4. Specify perforation pattern for pipes of'/2-inch diameter holes drilled at third points every 6-inches <br /> along pipe length. <br /> 5. The temporary sumps are sized assuming 10-ft of refuse in WMU FU-10. <br /> 6. Site personnel will select the pump size. <br /> 7. A 200-mil GDN with a hydraulic transmissivity of 1 x 10"5 m2/sec measured using water at 68°F f3°F <br /> (20°C f1.5°C) with a hydraulic gradient of 0.5 under a compressive stress of 10,000 psf. The <br /> geocomposite shall be tested with onsite soil above the Geocomposite and Geomembrane below the <br /> Geocomposite. The minimum test duration shall be 100 hours and the report for the test results shall <br /> include measurements at intervals over the entire test duration. <br />
