Aim

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.
