In the US, landfill regulations stipulate a 30
year post-closure monitoring period. At the end of 30 years, the site is
considered stable and post-closure monitoring ends unless it is extended
by the governing regulatory agency. However, agencies have no technical
criteria on which to either decrease or extend the monitoring period. With
the increasing interest in bioreactor landfills, requests to shorten the
post-closure monitoring period are anticipated.
