Assessment of Municipal Solid-Waste Landfill Liner Performance.

ABSTRACT: The leachate collection system (LCS) and leak detection system (LDS) flow rate data from 240 cells (or a combination of cells) at 54 municipal solid-waste landfills (located in seven US states) with double-liner systems were analyzed to assess the performance of the primary liner system. The average LCS leachate collection rates for the study sites ranged from 380 L ha^-1 day^-1 (40.7 gal. acre^-1 day^-1) to 22,400 L ha^-1 day^-1 (2,390 gal. acre^-1 day^-1) on a sitewide basis, and the average LDS leachate collection rates ranged from 1.8 L ha^-1 day^-1 (0.2 gal. acre^-1 day^-1) to 577 L ha^-1 day^-1 (61.7 gal. acre^-1 day^-1) on a
