Site Location: US EPA Region 5 Greenville Landfill, Greenville,
Ohio
Project Status: Completed in January 2008
Setting / Purpose: Freshwater Creek - Eroding Closed Landfill
Cap.
Contaminant(s) of Concern: Creek bed erosion
penetrated historic landfill cap and was causing a release of leachate
from landfill into creek. Ohio EPA approved design that incorporated
AquaBlok as primary low permeability seal for re-establishment of
certified landfill cap.
AquaBlok Cap Design / Site Area: A multi-layer design
was used to first re-establish the landfill cap, then to provide
protection to high flow conditions in the creek bed. The first layer
utilized a 6" thick geocell material to maintain the AquaBlok capping
material on the slope of the creek. This was then covered in a geofabric
and a layer of stone, before an articulated concrete mat was placed over
the entire area, to provide the final level of protection from long-term
erosion to the bank. Site area was comprised of 3,000 square feet of
embankment area.
Method of AquaBlok Placement: Land-based
excavator.
