Indirect measure of landfill containment system effectiveness; since leachate and LFG<br />
are well characterized sources early detection allows for a prompt and effective<br />
response to system upsets<br />
Indirect measure of landfill cover and stormwater controls; early detection allows<br />
operational solutions (such as repair or eliminate source of seeps) prior to off-site<br />
discharge<br />
Indirect measure of gas collection and containment; identification of gas migration<br />
allows prompt response actions such as balancing the GMS<br />
Direct measure of hydraulic head; indirect measure of LMS<br />
design effectiveness; identification of condition prevents<br />
release of leachate to the surface or subsurface<br />
Indirect measure of waste degradation processes; direct<br />
measure to meet regulatory discharge requirements<br />
LMS may not exist;<br />
in any case, head<br />
on liner monitoring<br />
omitted because<br />
pressure head on<br />
the natural liner is<br />
not an issue of<br />
concern<br />
In some cases, a<br />
LMS may not exist<br />
Direct measure of GMS system effectiveness measured at the flare station and/or<br />
well heads; data supports system working as designed to prevent uncontrolled<br />
emissions to the atmosphere<br />
Direct measure of cover integrity; indirect measure of gas collection efficiency;<br />
prompt identification allows modification of the cover to prevent uncontrolled<br />
emissions to the atmosphere<br />
