Site / Place
5. Landfill Gas Management Status System of the action
12 km southeast of the City of Aqaba and 5 km east of the
eastern section of the coastal flatlands of the Gulf of Aqaba
New Planned Under implementation Following previous action
Start date Project Lifetime Previous or linked studies
TBD (5 years implementation) 1. Aqaba Waste Management And Landfill Design Report,
October 2014
2. Aqaba Waste Management And Landfill Feasibility And
Environmental Considerations Report, March 2014
A geotechnical investigation was conducted at the site by ACES, a specialized geotechnical firm in
Engineering Studies Jordan, in order to provide sufficient geotechnical parameters for the design and construction of the
proposed project.
Implementation plan /
Construction plan
1. Design access, regulate traffic of haulers, entrance driveway construction
2. Scale House and Landfill Management Building (including the communications equipment,
computers, offices, convenience and locker room facilities, and storage areas to accommodate the
weigh master, landfill management team, and landfill operators/laborers.)
3. Vehicle Maintenance and Equipment Parking Area
4. Materials Recovery Facility / Segregation Pad
5. Fuel Dispensary
6. Leachate Storage/Evaporation Lagoon (2-meter-deep lagoon has been designed with
approximately 4,160 cubic meters of storage capacity from its invert to its crest)
7. Stormwater Management Basin (5,055 cubic meters)
8. Landfill Gas Management Facility (1200-mm-diameter High Density Polyethylene landfill gas
condensate knockout). Potential options for gas management include construction/utilization of a
small generation power facility (maximum annual generating capacity is 6.052.974 kWh) or
compression and sale of gas to potential end-users.
9. The landfill will be designed with four cells; each draining to its own sump from which collected
leachate will be pumped to the leachate evaporation lagoon. Each cell will be segregated from
adjacent cells with a 1.5 meter (minimum height) lined interim/intercell berm.
