Hazardous Waste Land Disposal/Land
Treatment Facilities (entire document pdf 865 KB)
Scope
The regulatory framework for these design standards is described in chapter
2 of the manual; as noted throughout this manual, where Army criteria are
more stringent than other regulatory standards, the Army criteria are preeminent.
Chapter 3 addresses pre-design evaluation of site conditions, the important
first step the design engineer must take prior to developing design criteria
for a facility. Another essential pre-design consideration, disposal and
handling constraints imposed by waste composition, is addressed in chapter
4. The heart of the design manual lies in chapters 5 and 6. Chapter 5 describes
landfills, impoundments, land treatment, deep well injections and waste
piles with respect to waste suitability, disposal constraints, procedures
and equipment; chapter 6 presents the specific engineering design elements
for the five disposal options. Summarized in chapters 7 through 9 are plans
and monitoring requirements for hazardous waste land disposal/land treatment
facilities generally dictated by 40 CFR 264. Cost elements for lined hazardous
waste facilities are described in chapter 10.

Construction Quality Assurance (CQA)
Plan Requirements for Hazardous Waste Landfill (entire document pdf 125 KB)
This engineer manual transmits a document which describes
CQA inspection
requirements for hazardous waste landfill covers and liners. The appendix
of this document is a
template for landfill CQA plans to assist designers in incorporating
the important aspects of CQA.
The document may also be used in reviewing CQA plans developed by others.

Design and Construction of Dikes
for Containment of Dredged Material (entire document pdf 259 KB)
Containment dikes are retaining structures used
to form confined disposal facilities. They consist primarily of earth
embankments and can be constructed in upland or nearshore areas or
on nearshore islands. The principal objective of a dike is to retain
solid particles and pond water within the disposal area while at
the same time allowing the release of clean effluent to natural waters.
The location of a containment dike will usually be established by
factors other than foundation conditions and available borrow material
(i.e., proximity to dredge, only land available, etc.) from which
there will be little deviation. The heights and geometric configurations
of containment dikes are generally dictated by containment capacity
requirements, availability of construction materials, and prevailing
foundation conditions.

Construction Quality Assurance
(CQA) Representative's Guide (entire document pdf 373 KB)
This volume of the Quality Assurance Representative's
Guide
addresses technologies which are used predominantly at hazardous,
toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) sites to contain or clean up
contamination. The reason for this pamphlet's existence and
continuance is to provide construction representatives, those with
quality assurance/quality control responsibilities, a reliable
checklist type reference for each phase of construction.

Use of Engineering Fabrics and
Asphalt Rubber Interlayers to Minimize Reflective Cracking in Pavements (entire
document pdf 66 KB)
This letter provides guidance for minimizing reflective
cracking
of asphaltic concrete pavements. Engineering fabrics and asphalt rubber
have been used by various
goverment agencies in an attempt to minimize the detrimental effects
of
reflective cracking. While performance has varied widely, it has been
observed that these materials generally provide satisfactory performance
in
warm climates and unsatisfactory performance in cold climates. This letter
provides recommended guidance concerning locations in which satisfactory
performance can be expected with asphalt rubber and engineering fabrics
based
on results from recent studies at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES)
including data from other sources, mainly Federal Highway Administration.
Report of the WES studies is currently at the publishers and will
be
distributed in the near future. Some references from the report are provided
with this ETL.

Checklist for Hazardous
Waste Landfill Cover Design (entire document pdf 200 KB)
This engineer technical letter transmits a document
for the design of landfill
covers at hazardous waste sites. The document was developed to aid in
project planning,
scheduling, and budgeting; scoping pre-design investigations and architect/engineer
services; as a guidance document for the design of landfill covers; and
as a source for
technical references. This document will focus on covers for hazardous
waste sites as
described in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 40 CFR 264. In general,
the components
of a hazardous waste landfill cover consist of a protective cover la
yer, a drainage
layer, a low-permeability layer composed of a geomembrane over a low-permeability
soil
component, and random fill overlying the waste. Hazardous waste landfill
covers also
contain some type of gas control system in many instances. This document
is divided
into three appendices: Appendix A, References; Appendix B, Hazardous
Waste Landfill
Cover Design Considerations; and Appendix C, Hazardous Waste Landfill
Cover Design
Checklist. Appendix B briefly discusses design aspects for the cover
components.
Appendix C contains a list of questions covering pertinent aspects of
design that were
discussed in Appendix B.

Engineering and Design Checklist
for Design of Vertical Barrier Walls for Hazardous
Waste Sites (entire document pdf 83 KB)
This engineer technical letter transmits a
document for the design of vertical barrier walls for
hazardous waste sites. The document was developed
to aid in project planning, scheduling, and budgeting;
scoping predesign investigations and architect/
engineer (A/E) services; as a guidance document for
design of vertical barrier walls; for use in reviewing
A/E products; and as a source for technical
references.

Use of Geogrids in
Pavement Construction (entire document pdf 655 KB)
This letter provides guidance, basic criteria and
information for the use of geogrids in the design and construction
of pavements. The diminishing availability of quality aggregates for
constructing roads and airfields has forced engineers to seek design
alternatives that reduce the required amount of high-quality aggregates.
The use of geosynthetics in road and airfield construction has shown
the potential to reduce the required aggregate quantities. One category
of geosynthetics in particular, geogrids, has gained increasing acceptance
in road construction. A geogrid is a geosynthetic material consisting
of connected parallel sets of tensile ribs with appertures of sufficient
size to allow strike-through of surrounding soil, stone, or other geotechnical
material. This document describes the use of geogrids in flexible pavement
systems including design charts, product specification, and construction
guidance.

Use of Geotextiles Under
Riprap (entire document pdf 346 KB)
This ETL provides information on experiences with
geotextiles under riprapon the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. Geotextiles
have been used extensively throughout the 234- mile Tennessee-Tombigbee
Waterway, primarily to replace multi-layered graded filter systems
under the riprap. During the past ten years, the Mobile and Nashville
Districts have had considerable experience in placing geotextiles under
riprap. Over 4,000,000 square yards of geotextile will have been placed
by the conclusion of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Project. Problems were
encountered with clogging, tearing, or puncturing of the geotextile
and erosion undermining the geotextile. Proper control of both surface
and groundwater and close inspection during construction proved to
be essential.
