Estimate the life of a landfill (years) given a population of 250,000 people, 40 acre, a maximum depth of 50 feet below ground, a pit slope of 1:3 and final slope of 1:4. The coversoil occupies 22% of the compacted volume. There is a 42% diversion rate, the waste is compacted to 1,270 lb/yd3, the population is stable and generates 6.2 lb/capita/day. The landfill area is square and the max height of the landfill is 33 yd.

1. A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10 m. Seven hundred sixty-five (765) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
Determine the area required for a new landfill site with a projected life span of 35 years, for a population of 200,000 generating 2.02 kg /capita/day. The density of the compacted waste is 470kg/m³. The height of the landfill cannot exceed 16 m.
3. A MSW facility is designed to handle solid waste generated by a town at a rate of 75,000 kg/d. The waste is delivered by compactor truck 4 days/week, and 30% of the waste is recycled. The density of the disposed waste before compaction is 120 kg/m3. The waste is compressed to a compaction ratio of 4.0. Daily cover takes up 20% of the total landfill cell volume, and a single lift is 3.5 m high. Engineers have designed the landfill for two lifts, and a total of 6.0 hectares are available for this MSW landfill. Calculate how long (in years) it will take to fill up this landfill as designed.

Determine the area (m2) required for a new landfill site with a projected life of 10 years for a population of 100,000 generating 2.00 kg/capita-day. The density of the compacted waste is 400 kg/m3. The height of the landfill cannot exceed 10 meters.
Design of Sanitary Landfill
Problem-52, Disposal & Design of Sewage System (Civil) A landfill is to be designed for the population of 2,00,000. The solid waste generation is 1 kg/person/day. The density of uncompacted fill is 100 kg/m3. The compaction ratio is 3 and volume of landfill is 0.020 km3. The ratio of cover to compacted fill is 0.4. Calculate the number of years this landfill can be used.
Suppose a city of 50,000 people generates 40,000 tons of MSW per year. At current recovery and recycling rates, 22 percent of that is recovered or recycled and the rest goes to a landfill. Suppose also that the landfill density is 1,000 lb/yd^3, cell depth is 10 ft, and 80 percent of the cell is MSW.(a) What lift area would be required per year?(b) If the current landfill site covers 50 acres, including 10 acres needed for access roads and auxiliary facilities, and two more lifts are envisioned, how long would it take to complete this landfill?
I need the answer as soon as possible
