Verde Island is about 10,500 acres. Currently, it is occupied by 12000 persons generates refuse at an average rate of 2 lb / capita/day. As a way of giving back to the community, they save the 55 ac area as a landfill site, with an average depth of compacted refuse limited to 13 ft. LGU estimated that the compacted refuse will have a unit weight of 480 lb/yard3 and that 75% of volume will be taken up by the compacted refuse. What is the useful life of the SLF (year)?
