rly sta 1 Clearly indicate your selection to answer the following? ( Calculate the km² area required by a stable community of 700,000 to provide 20 years of landfill disposal capacity for MSW generated by this population. The studies showed that the average generation rate is 1.5 kg/person/day. The in-place density of the waste will be 560 kg/m³. The landfill is to take an incomplete quadrilateral pyramid with 300 m upper base length. Also, it will take a symmetric 10 m depth and height under and above earth surface, respectively. The auxiliary facilities (buildings, roads, equipment, maintenance, storage, etc) will account for 25% of the actual site area. (volume of pyramid= [h(a+b²+ab)/3]), and to solve quadratic formula use: x = 2 a) 1.05 km² b) 1.35 km² c) 1.64 km² -b±√b2-4ac 2a d) 0.79 km² e) 1.98 km²
(b) Factors that must be considered in evaluating potential sites for the long-term disposal of solid waste include (1) haul distance (2) location restrictions (3) available land area (4) site access (5) soil conditions and topography (6) climatological conditions (7) surface water hydrology (8) geologic and hydrogeology conditions (9) local environmental conditions and (10) potential ultimate uses for the completed site. Explain any FOUR (4) of the factors above when you plan to develop new sanitary landfill in your area.
Question 4. Consider the liner system at the base and on the side slope of a landfill in figure below. State the function of each of the components. Give the common important / typical requirements or properties such as minimum thickness, permeability, etc. for each.

Briefly explain the main purpose of the RA 9003 Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000
Two small communities, Alpha and Beta, each have a small landfill. They are considering building a joint landfill to serve both communities (Fig. 3-30). a) , Write an objective function that can be used to minimize the total cost of disposal where the towns would have the option of taking the refuse to their own landfill or to the common facility. They will not be able, however, to take the refuse to each other's landfill. Use the following variables, and state all constraints: k.c F = fixed-cost for landfill k ($100,000 per year, regardless of size); subscript c stands for capital c = transportation cost from town i to landfill k ($2/km/ton) W = refuse generated in town i (2000 metric tons per year for Alpha, and 3500 metric tons per year for Beta) F = operating cost of landfill k ($10/metric ton) Hints: You'll need to include the transportation distance in the standard objective function, since transportation cost is a function of distance. You'll need to add Fto the objective…
Q- Civil (Environment) An industrial waste water enters a stream having a BOD concentration of 10 mg/l and a flow of 20 m³/sec. If the flow of waste water is 1.5 m³/sec & its BOD concentration is 250 mg/1, then the BOD concentration in the stream at a point downstream of the point of confluence of waste water with the stream will be?
Which of the ff. is false regarding compaction in a solid waste landfill? a. It extends the life of the solid waste landfill. b. It discourages insects and rodents. C. It reduces the possibility of waste runoff/leachate. d. It reduces storm water runoff or infiltration.
(b) Explain any SIX (6) criteria of sanitary landfill site selection for domestic solid waste management system.

Discuss at least two aspects of concern of a municipal waste landfill
A fine ash waste stream contains iron at a concentration of 1,5 mg/kg waste with a LC50 of 90 mg/l, must be disposed of at a landfill with area of 32,5 ha. (presence of Teratogen, mutagen and carcinogen tested negative).Determine the hazard rating of the waste and the landfill site class where it can be disposed of, if 120 000 ton of waste will be disposed annually.
13- (a) You are about to set a water balance for a sanitary landfill. Draw a definition sketch for a water balance to be used to assess leachate formation in a landfill. (b) Estimate the weekly volume of solid waste being delivered to a municipal landfill if the average solid waste generation rate is 2.6 kg/person.d. The population is 17,200 and the density as delivered is 122kg/m3.
