Cover Soil: Too Much of a Good Thing

Thursday, February 23, 2012, 9 a.m. (Pacific Time)

State and Federal regulations require that landfills cover all exposed waste with a minimum of 6 inches of soil at the end of every operating day. And most landfill operators will affirm that 6 inches of soil is their goal.

But in our 30+ years of experience, 6 inches of soil is a theoretical goal ...and a practical impossibility. The average landfill uses 16 inches of daily cover soil. The least we've every measured is 11 inches ...and the deepest was 42 inches!

Of course, the impact of this is lots of wasted soil, wasted airspace ...and wasted money.

Fill Sequence Planning

Most landfills have experienced problems of having to double-handle soil stockpiled in the wrong place. Or constructing a road and finding out that it's in the way of the new fill area. Or getting partway through the wet season and then suddenly realizing there isn't enough capacity to last until dry season. These are common problems with a simple solution: fill sequence planning.

What is a fill sequence plan? It's an optimized engineering drawing that provides step-by-step guidance for filling your landfill, and also provides a basis for budgeting and scheduling major landfill projects. A plan can help you accurately schedule large capital expenditures, and will answer questions like:

*    Where will your next tipping pad be located?

*    Will your current lined area last until next year?

*    Are your access roads, stockpiles, and haul roads in the best locations to provide the longest use?

During this webinar, you will learn how to develop a practical fill sequence plan that will help you run an efficient, productive operation.

Landfill Production and Efficiency: Time Motion Studies

Operating a landfill – like any other manufacturing process – is a series of repetitive tasks. In fact, many landfill tasks are performed hundreds of times per day … with millions of repetitions over the life of the landfill. To achieve peak performance, these tasks must be performed at the highest level of efficiency.

The landfills that are surviving – even thriving – in today’s competitive market, are the ones that have streamlined task-by-task … until the entire operation functions smoothly and efficiently.

Learn how a Time-Motion Study, which uses video to analyze the details of your operation, can increase production and efficiency at your landfill.
