Abstract:
Poor management of dump-sites creates significant risks to environment and human health. Thus, sanitary landfills are required to be more effective to minimize the impacts of waste disposal. This research assesses the environmental economic evaluation focused on the economically efficiency of Malaysian sanitary landfills. Two landfills were selected based on their different operation. Landfill A incurred RM 128 million (USD 41.8 million) as the total cost within 20 operational period. Thus, it is estimated that the cost may be covered within 15 operational years. On the other hand, the total costs for Landfill B are estimated at RM 198 million (USD 64.8 million) with RM 245 million (USD 80.2 million) are expected to be obtained as profit within eight operational years. Landfill B has high initial costs of design and construction. However, the costs are covered within the first five years. This is because Landfill B introduces a new green technology namely landfill-gas power generator. This indicates that, Landfill B has stronger market competition ability as compared to Landfill A. It can be concluded that the implementation of green technology namely landfill gas harvesting system has higher impact to improve the economic value of a landfill thus making it more economical and environmentally sustainable.

Abstract:
Under the newly implemented waste management policy in European Union countries, sanitary landfilling constitutes the fourth and the least preferred of the alternative management options for the disposal of solid urban wastes. Landfills generate emissions over long periods, often longer than a lifetime. The longest lasting emission is leachate: leachate production and management is now recognized as one of the greatest problems associated with the environmentally sound operation of sanitary landfills. These liquid wastes can cause considerable pollution problems by contacting the surrounding soil, ground or surface waters and, are therefore considered major pollution hazards unless precautionary measures are implemented. Landfill leachate characterization is a critical factor in establishing a corresponding effective management strategy or treatment process. This paper summarizes leachate quality indicators, and investigates the temporal variation of leachate quality from municipal solid waste. The toxicity of leachates from the municipal solid waste landfill "Vinca" in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, was characterized using toxicity characteristics leaching procedures (TCLP). The "Vinca" landfill was established in 1978 as one of several municipal landfills. Since the 1990-ies the "Vinca" landfill has been the only operating landfill servicing the Belgrade Metropolitan area, the biggest city in Serbia, with 1,576,124 inhabitants in the larger-city area, and 1,273,651 inhabitants in the inner-city area. The total average amount of solid wastes deposited in the landfill is estimated to be 1100 tons/day. The landfill site is not lined and the tributary flows through the centre of the site-in some places directly under the mass of refuse. No consideration has been given to the protection of ground waters, surface runoff or drainage. Local authorities plan to expand the landfill by 0.4 km2 to a total of 1.3 km Chemical analysis was performed on the samples and the temporal variation of several parameters was monitored including pH, COD, chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, ammonia nitrogen, hardness, and heavy metals. The COD and pH were related to the biological activity within the landfill and the results indicated differences between the samples due to waste age. The concentrations of heavy metals, sulfates, nitrates, chlorides and ammonia nitrogen in the leachate were low, indicating their initially low amount in landfilled waste or their flushing with moisture contributing to a reduction in their concentrations.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to comprehensively assess the need for Sanitary landfills in Edo state for management of waste, control of pollution for sustainable manufacturing system using concurrent triangulation design. The concurrent triangulation design is in two phases, Phase 1 using quantitative analysis, descriptive statistics while phase 2 used the qualitative analysis using thematic selection. Final results collected from the merger of results from phase 1 and phase 2 showed the Regression analysis results had a T-test value of -0.4615 at P value significant of 0.000 obtained for Sanitary landfill in the model and was less than 5% level of significance indicating that there is a significant relationship between Sanitary landfilling and pollution control. The Durbin Watson result of 1.955 showed that the model is reliable with absence of serial auto correlation. A coefficient of - 0.346 showed that 1% increase in sanitary landfilling activities results in 34.6% decrease in environmental pollution. Hence Sanitary landfilling for waste management has proved to sustain manufacturing system, control environmental pollution and reduce waste.

Abstract:
Abstract Biological processes are known to reduce the organic fraction of municipal solid waste, but current landfilling practices have not been altered to reflect this knowledge. The advantages of enhancing degradation of solid waste are as follows: reduced period of leachate treatment, increased methane production, expedited landfill site reclamation through stabilized waste mining, and accelerated subsidence permitting recovery of valuable landfill air space. The techniques that can be used to enhance biological degradation include leachate recirculation, addition of nutrients, shredding, sludge addition, lift design, temperature and moisture content management. Manipulation of these variables promotes a more conducive environment for microbial activity. Research on landfill management strategies through laboratory and full-scale studies has shown the validity of applying the enhancement techniques with regards to reducing leachate strength and increasing methane production. These practices focus on the use of landfills as bioreactors, which enables long-term flexibility and assures compliance with future regulations and discharge standards.

Abstract:
Waste management (WM) is a demanding undertaking in all countries, with important implications for human health, environmental preservation, sustainability and circular economy. The method of sanitary landfilling for final disposal of waste remains a generally accepted and used method but the available scientific evidence on the waste-related environmental and health effects is not conclusive. Comparative studies of various WM methods (landfilling, incineration, composting etc.) show that among the municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment and disposal technological options, sanitary landfilling or open dumping is popular in most countries because of the relative low cost and low-technical requirement. The European Union (EU) Directive on waste landfills has introduced specific goals for reducing the volume of disposed waste and very strict requirements for landfilling and landfill sites. Evaluation of the impact of landfills on the environment is a crucial topic in the literature and has received increased attention recently, given growing environmental concerns. The main goal of this survey was to conduct a comprehensive assessment of possible impacts of MSW landfills on the environment. The main conclusion of the overall assessment of the literature is that the disposal of MSW in landfills entails a number of environmental risks but with respect to the current situation and rich style of living adopted in industrially developed countries, the idea of WM systems functioning without landfilling—at least in the foreseeable future within one generation—seems to be somewhat unreal. The results also provided important information of landfills as a source of environmental risk. Results of this research may have an important impact on landfill management and the disposal of waste. From the literature review, it is evident that even if high levels of waste avoidance, reuse and recycling are achieved, some waste materials will always need to be forwarded for disposal.

Abstract:
Extensive non-engineered landfilling practice in developing countries has raised environmental concerns, but operating a sanitary landfill appears infeasible due to financial incapability. This study aims to determine the feasibility of a sanitary landfill project by including its environmental values into the project appraisal while simultaneously applying three policy-relevant methods—non-market valuation, benefits transfer, and cost-benefit analysis—in two study areas in Peninsular Malaysia. The non-market valuation study used choice modeling, a questionnaire-based technique, to elicit willingness to pay among 624 households toward the environmental attributes of the sanitary landfill. Their responses resulted in the monetary values of the environmental attributes by referring to implicit prices of leachate discharge, bad odor, disease vector and view. The implicit prices of bad odor (RM2.29 per month) and view (RM3.59 per month) in the two study areas were transferable and used as a proxy of additional solid waste disposal payment in environmental cost-benefit analysis. Positive net present value offers empirical evidence of the feasibility of the sanitary landfill project. The findings show that the inclusion of environmental values in project appraisals increases the chances of implementing sanitary landfills, providing a new approach to address the environmental concerns in developing countries. Future research should consider the external costs along with the external benefits to allow for a comprehensive comparison between environmental values in environmental cost-benefit analysis.

Abstract:
Wastes from landfills originate from many spheres of life. These are produces as a result of human activities either domestically or industrially. The global plastic production increased over years due to the vast applications of plastics in many sectors. The continuous demand of plastics caused the plastic wastes accumulation in the landfill consumed a lot of spaces that contributed to the environmental. In addition, economic growth and development also increased our demand and dependency on plastics which leads to its accumulation in landfills imposing risk on human health, animals and cause environmental pollution problems such as ground water contamination, sanitary related issues, etc. The management and disposal of plastic waste have become a major concern, especially in developing cities. The idea of waste to energy recovery is one of the promising techniques used for managing the waste of plastic. Hence, this paper aims review at utilizing of plastic as an alternative fuel.

Abstract:
This study collected basic information and conducted waste composition surveys to identify the present management condition of construction and demolition waste (CDW) landfills in Hanoi of Vietnam and to characterize waste composition and grain size distribution of CDW dumped at landfills. Basic information on seven CDW landfills under operation or closed/abandoned was collected, and the waste composition and the grain size distributions of dumped CDW at two landfills were investigated. Results showed that only one landfill site is currently under operation in Hanoi. Sanitary conditions of investigated landfills were relatively good without dumping of hazardous waste. Illegal dumping of domestic waste from residents, however, could be observed more or less at all sites due to an unclear boundary between dumping and surrounding areas. To improve current management of CDW landfills, a suitable recording system of accepted/dumped CDW and technical support for site managers are required as well as the implementation plan for developing and renovating landfills. Based on the results of the waste composition survey, the major components of dumped CDW were “Concrete”, “Clay bricks”, and “Soil-like”, and the sum of these materials reached >80% of the total. Grain size distributions of “Concrete” ranged from 10–600 mm and of “Clay bricks” ranged from 10–300 mm. Technical recommendations to examine a potential availability of dumped “Concrete” and “Clay bricks” as a base material in road construction are summarized from the viewpoints of segregation from “Soil-like” and impurities, grading of “Concrete” and “Clay bricks”, mechanical properties and environmental safety, and economic feasibility. The findings in this study raise challenges and perspectives to establish sound CDW management and to promote sustainable development of CDW recycling in Vietnam.

Abstract:
The today's world faces a rapid increase of population and thus a growing amount of generated waste. Unsorted municipal waste is transported to landfills. The negative environmental impact of a landfill is related with generated odours, polluted leachate and waste itself. Most of present landfills do not meet minimal environmental and sanitary requirements, i e most of landfills do not have an installed leachate collection system. In Lithuania waste management is related with many problems. The municipal waste collection system is inefficient, and the equipment is outdated. Large amounts of recyclable waste materials mixed with other wastes are still disposed in landfills. Aiming to use anaerobic digestion technologies for organic waste and minimize their negative environmental impact, recyclables need to be separated. The paper gives information about experimental investigation with fruit, vegetable and meat waste humidified with addition of moisture to 75 %, 79 % and 85 %. The experiment lasted for 60 days, and the concentration of methane and oxygen as well as temperature changes in vessels were observed. The results showed that in 50 l containers of mixed waste set with moisture to 85 % higher amounts of methane were produced than in those humidified with less water.

A operação de um aterro sanitário é primordial para a gestão dos resíduos que o mesmo recebe, pois trata-se da fase de destinação final dos resíduos sólidos urbanos. Portanto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar os impactos dos resíduos sólidos urbanos que estão sendo depositados em um aterro sanitário de um município no interior do Estado de São Paulo. Para atingir o objetivo proposto a presente pesquisa foi dividida em três artigos distintos. O primeiro artigo visou analisar por meio do índice de qualidade de resíduos (IQR-V) se a gestão do aterro sanitário encontra-se em conformidade com a metodologia implementada pela Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (CETESB) e de acordo com os propósitos ambientais estabelecidos para a implantação do aterro. Foi possível concluir que diante da aplicação dos questionários padronizados onde são avaliadas as características locais, operacionais e estruturais das instalações deste aterro sanitário, o mesmo encontra-se em condições ambientais inadequados. O segundo artigo teve como objetivo analisar a composição física dos resíduos depositados neste aterro por meio da análise gravimétrica dos resíduos, que consistiu na representação da composição física dos resíduos sólidos em porcentagens, relacionando as diversas frações dos materiais que compõem os resíduos sólidos urbanos em relação ao peso total da amostra. Neste estudo verificou-se que 72,94% dos resíduos depositados no aterro sanitário possuem potencialidades para outras atividades econômicas, tais como compostagem e reciclagem/reaproveitamento. No potencial econômico da fração reciclagem, os resultados demonstraram que cerca de R$ 2.700,00 ao mês estão sendo desperdiçados pelo município com a disposição de resíduos sólidos que poderiam estar sendo encaminhados à reciclagem. O terceiro artigo objetivou analisar o perfil da concentração de metais potencialmente tóxicos e hidrocarbonetos aromáticos de risco à saúde humana em solo de aterro sanitário. Essa é uma importante ferramenta para avaliar a possível presença de contaminantes oriundos do descarte inadequado dos resíduos bem como auxiliar no gerenciamento dos descartes e no controle da contaminação ambiental. Para tanto, foram coletadas amostras de solo em diferentes locais e profundidades para analisar cádmio, chumbo, níquel, arsênio, mercúrio, que são elementos potencialmente tóxicos e os hidrocarbonetos aromáticos benzeno, etilbenzeno, o-xileno, m,p-xileno. Os resultados de metais potencialmente tóxicos e hidrocarbonetos aromáticos presentes no solo do aterro sanitário se apresentaram abaixo dos valores orientadores da Resolução do CONAMA nº 420, na qual dispõe de critérios e valores da qualidade de solo quanto à presença de substâncias químicas para o Brasil. Com base nos resultados encontrados, pode-se considerar que os baixos teores encontrados podem estar relacionados ao tempo de atividade do aterro sanitário ou ao perfil da população do município, que é predominantemente agrícola baseada na agricultura familiar.
The operation of a landfill is essential for the management of waste, since it is the final disposal phase of municipal solid waste. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the impacts of urban solid waste being deposited in a sanitary landfill of a municipality in the interior of the State of São Paulo. To reach the proposed goal this research was divided into three distinct articles. The first article aimed to analyze by means of the waste quality index (IQR-V), if the management of the landfill is in accordance with the methodology implemented by the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo (CETESB) and according to the environmental purposes established for the landfill. It can be concluded that in the application of the standardized questionnaires that evaluated the local, operational and structural characteristics of the facilities of this sanitary landfill, it is in inadequate environmental conditions. The second article had as objective to analyze the composition of the residues deposited in this landfill by means of the gravimetric analysis of the residues, which consists of the representation of the physical composition of the solid residues in percentages, relating the different fractions of the materials that compose the urban solid waste in relation to the total weight of the sample. In this study it was verified that 72.94% of the residues deposited in the landfill have potential for other economic activities, such as composting and recycling / reuse. In the economic potential of the recycling fraction, the results showed that around R $ 2,700 per month are being wasted by the municipality with the disposal of solid waste that could be sent to recycling. The third article aimed to analyze the concentration profile of potentially toxic metals and aromatic hydrocarbons of human health risk in landfill land. This is an important tool to evaluate the possible presence of contaminants from inappropriate disposal of waste as well as assist in the management of discards and control of environmental contamination. Therefore, soil samples were collected at different locations and depths to analyze cadmium, lead, nickel, arsenic, mercury, that are potentially toxic elements and aromatic hydrocarbons benzene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene , p. The results of potentially toxic metals and aromatic hydrocarbons present in the soil of the landfill were below the guideline values of CONAMA Resolution 420, which has criteria and values of soil quality for the presence of chemical substances in Brazil. Based on the results found, it can be considered that the low levels found may be related to the time of activity of the landfill or to the profile of the population of the municipality, which is predominantly agricultural based on family agriculture.

A crescente geração de resíduos sólidos e a destinação final inadequada ocasionam diversos problemas ambientais na maioria das cidades brasileiras e que afetam a qualidade de vida de seus habitantes. O depósito de resíduos sólidos urbanos em lixões ainda é a prática mais utilizada para a destinação final, principalmente, nos municípios de pequeno porte. O município de Estiva Gerbi, no interior do Estado de São Paulo, área de estudo, tem uma população estimada de 10.223 habitantes (IBGE, 2006) e gera, diariamente, 4,4 toneladas de resíduos sólidos urbanos, dos quais 32,8% representam materiais recicláveis. A coleta regular municipal atende 99% dos domicílios, porém, desde 1993, os resíduos são depositados inadequadamente em uma área caracterizada como passivo ambiental, de antiga cava de mineração de argila. A situação agrava-se com a presença de catadores que efetuam a triagem de recicláveis no local. Não há controle dos resíduos depositados, nem do acesso à área (pessoas ou veículos), ocorrendo, inclusive, o lançamento clandestino de resíduos industriais (não inertes) no local. Além das dificuldades financeiras, administrativas e técnicas, o município tem sido autuado pela Companhia de Tecnologia de Saneamento Ambiental (CETESB) por não atender às exigências mínimas de controle na área. A situação atual dos resíduos sólidos nesse município foi levantada como base de estudos para a apresentação de diretrizes específicas. Foram analisadas as características das unidades geológico-geotécnicas quanto às restrições e potencialidades à implantação de um aterro sanitário e selecionaram-se critérios geoambientais de orientação à pré-seleção de áreas com tal finalidade. São apresentadas, ainda, alternativas tecnológicas simplificadas, de fácil operação e manutenção, sanitariamente adequadas... .
The growing generation of solid waste and its final inadequate destination cause several environmental problems in the majority of the Brazilian cities which affect the quality of life of its inhabitants. Dumping solid urban waste in dumps is the most used practice as a final destination, especially in small cities. The city of Estiva Gerbi, located in the countryside of the State of São Paulo, a study area, has a population of approximately 10.223 inhabitants (IBGE, 2006) and generates daily, 4.4 tons of solid urban waste, from which 32,8% represent recyclable materials. Regular municipal collection attends 99% of the dwellings, however since 1993; the waste is deposited inadequately in an area characterized as environmental liability, from old clay mining. The situation becomes more serious with the presence of scavengers who sort out the recyclables in the area. There is no control of the waste deposited, nor of the access to the area (people and vehicles), also having the dumping of clandestine industrial waste (not inert) in the place. Besides the financial, administrative and technical difficulties, the city has suffered constant bookings by the CETESB (Environmental Agency) for not fulfilling the minimal control requirements in the area. The current situation of the solid waste in this city has been raised as basis for study for the presentation of specific guidelines. The Geological Geotechnical characteristics of the units were analyzed as to the restrictions and potentiality of implanting a sanitary landfill and geoenvironmental criteria of orientation and pre-selection of areas for this purpose. Still, simplified technological alternatives are presented, of easy operation and maintenance, sanitarily adequate to the final disposition of the solid waste...

Abstract:
Proper waste management in developing countries is increasingly becoming popular, especially the use of engineered sanitary landfills. In this study, the classification, design, and operation of sanitary landfills are stated and suggestions made. The landfills were classified in accordance to waste type and population size. Leachate control mechanisms were put in place in a bid to avoid surface and underground water pollution. Several liner materials such as clay and geotextile material are recommended to avoid leachate perforating into the ground. Waste management is encouraged to be done through the cell system which must be compacted and covered on a daily basis. Resource recovery of biogas for power generation is recommended to recovery value from the waste as well as to lower landfill operation costs. Post-closure monitoring of the landfill must be done and recreation centers can be developed on the landfill as a rehabilitation strategy. Land filling is essential for proper waste management and is also governed by local acts.

Abstract:
In most cases, the anammox process is used for nitrogen removal from reject water coming from dewatering of digested sludge. However, there are more industrial streams suitable for treatment by partial nitritation/anammox process. The landfill leachate may be a good example of such wastewater. Generally, landfilling is the most used solution for treatment of urban solid wastes. The problem with landfill leachate production and management is one of the most important issues associated with the sanitary landfills. These streams are highly contaminated wastewater with a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds and characterized by a high ammonia content and low biodegradable organic fraction matter. The objective of this chapter is the short characteristic of landfill leachate and a short review of its treatment methods with special focus on nitrogen removal by partial nitritation/anammox process.

Abstract:
Malaysia, an upper-middle class country, populated with approximately 31 million people generated nearly 13.9 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) at per capita of 1.23 kilogram per day in 2016. Landfills and open dumps, being the absolute opposite of sustainable waste management, received about 80% of this generated MSW. Waste collection is on a par with developed nations, and almost all urban MSW is being collected for disposal. However, illegal dumping still occurs sporadically, and it can account for 10% of the total MSW generated. Hence, Malaysia is facing a stiff challenge in reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and adopting sustainable waste management. National Solid Waste Management Department of Malaysia targets to divert 40% of MSW from landfills by 2020. There are total 296 landfills in Malaysia, and only 165 landfills are currently functional whereas the number of sanitary landfills is 8 out of 165 operating landfills. The national recycling rate of MSW was 17% in 2016 and the national recycling target in 11th Malaysian Plan is 22% by 2020.

Abstract:
Pollution prevention is a step towards obtaining a green environment, and no amount of effort in that direction should be considered too great. To this effect, the pollution by leachate and the resultant impact on the environment is discussed in this chapter. Types and sources of pollution, their transfer and effect have been discussed, so as to give a background understanding on pollution and hence provide a platform for its control. The age old waste disposal practice of open dumps and landfilling is discussed, highlighting the dangers of indiscriminate waste dumping and uncontrolled landfilling practices. Although other sources of leachate generation are highlighted, the chapter focuses on leachates from municipal landfills and the effect of its migration. Engineered landfills also known as sanitary landfills have performed better in curtailing the movement of leachates, hence the use of artificial liners or low permeability soils such as the well compacted clayey soils, to eliminate or minimize leachate migration.

Abstract:
Improper Solid Waste Management leads to the generation of landfill leachate at the landfills. To reduce the negative impacts of highly toxic and recalcitrant leachate on the environment, several techniques have been used. A lot of research is conducted to find suitable methods for the treatment of landfill leachate such as biological processes, chemical oxidation processes, coagulation, flocculation, chemical precipitation, and membrane procedures. The biological process is still being used widely for the treatment of leachate. The current system of leachate treatment consists of various unit processes which require larger area, energy and cost. In addition, the current aerobic treatment is not able to treat entirely the pollutants which require further treatment of the leachate. Anaerobic wastewater treatment has gained considerable attention among researchers and sanitary engineers primarily due to its economic advantages over conventional aerobic methods. The major advantages of anaerobic wastewater treatment in comparison to aerobic methods are: (a) the lack of aeration, which decreases costs and energy requirements; and (b) simple maintenance and control, which eliminates the need for skilled operators and manufacturers. Several anaerobic processes have been used for leachate treatment such as up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, anaerobic filter, hybrid bed reactor, anaerobic sequencing batch reactor and Anaerobic baffled reactor. The following chapter provides an insight to the solid waste management at the landfills, generation of leachate and details of some of the highly efficient anaerobic treatment systems that are used for the overall treatment of landfill leachate.

Abstract:
Solid waste consists of household waste, construction and demolition debris, sanitation residue, and waste from streets. This garbage is generated mainly from residential and commercial complexes. With rising urbanization and change in lifestyle and food habits, the amount of solid waste has been increasing rapidly and its composition changing. Solid waste throws back a light on the culture that produces it and affects the health of the people and the environment surrounding it. Globally, people are discarding growing quantities of waste, and its composition is more complex than ever before, as plastic and electronic consumer products diffuse. Solid wastes are hazards as they adversely affect the living as well as nonliving components of the environment. Advanced and new methods of disposal of solid waste such as pyrolysis, pulverization, incineration, and development of sanitary landfills, etc. are used to solve the problem of managing solid waste. Dumping and burning waste is not acceptable practice from environment and health perspective.

Abstract:
Waste management in the United States presently has the following major three dimensions: Sanitary landfills, recycling, waste to energy predominantly based on the technologies of mass bum technology or refuse derived fuel. These three dimensions have undergone significant evolution during the past three decades. The design of sanitary landfills has evolved to include environmental protection features such as bottom liners, leachate collection systems and landfill gas management systems. Material recycling programs, many based on materials recycling facilities, have become more prevalent. Approximately 100 operating waste to energy facilities (“Facilities”) now exist in the United States. Improvements in the air pollution control systems incorporated in the Facilities have significantly lowered their air emissions. A fourth dimension, waste gasification technology, is evolving as a viable component of a waste management system and the hydrogen energy economy.

Abstract:
Rapid economic development and also population growth of urban centers in developing island nations have resulted in the generation of large amounts of MSW that in the past were dumped at uninhabited areas indiscriminately. Also, islands have very limited space for new, sanitary landfills. This study examines islands where WTE has been implemented successfully (Bermuda, Martinique, St. Barth) and several others (Jamaica, Mauritius, Rhodes) where WTE has been considered and is in various stages of implementation. The study showed that the per capita generation of MSW increases as GDP per capita increases. Also, it is usually recommended that the waste management system be improved one step at a time, that is, to go from dumps to sanitary landfills, to waste to energy; it is interesting to note that the three islands examined in this study went directly from dumps to WTE. This phenomenon can be partly attributed to the scarcity of land for new landfills, but may also be due to the desire to develop a local and renewable energy source.

Abstract:
Palm Beach County (Florida) Solid Waste Authority built an integrated solid waste management system in the 1980s and 1990s around an 1,800 tpd Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facility. The system included a network of five regional transfer stations, Subtitle D sanitary landfill, recovered materials processing facility, composting facility, metals processing facility and household hazardous waste collection program. The WTE, which became operational in 1989, was built with two 900 tpd RDF combustion units. Space was provided for the addition of a third combustion unit, a second turbine-generator and an extra flue was installed in the facility’s stack. By 2004, the WTE was fifteen years old. It had been running at over 125% availability and well above its nominal capacity for almost a decade. Landfill capacity was being consumed at a rate which would see it filled in less than 20 years. The County had been hit with repeated hurricanes in recent years and the County’s population was continuing to grow making landfill capacity projections far from certain. The Authority began an assessment of its long term capacity options which included renovation of its existing WTE facility, expansion of that facility, development of a new WTE facility, development of a new Subtitle D Landfill and several out-of-county options. This paper will focus on the results of this assessment with emphasis on the current efforts to develop a new Mass Burn WTE facility with a capacity of 3,000 tpd and a commercial operations date of 2015. It will be the largest new WTE built in North America in more than 20 years. The choice of Mass Burn technology, facility and combustion module sizing, air pollution control technology, facility site selection, environmental permitting, public outreach program, project financing and procurement and contracting approach will be discussed.
