[Central Ohio ASCE] Webinar - Designing Water Balance Covers (ET Covers) for Landfills and Waste Containment

[Peter Narsavage]

 Date & Time:
Tue, 06/18/2013 - 11:30am - 1:00pm
Location:
Hull & Associates, Inc., 6397 Emerald Parkway, Suite 200 Dublin, Ohio 43016

*Free to Central Ohio ASCE Section members
*Seating is limited to the first 25 people
*Bring your own lunch

In this webinar, the fundamental aspects of WBC design are discussed and
design methods are presented. Water balance covers (also known as
evapotranspiration, or ET, covers and alternative covers) are sustainable
final covers for waste containment facilities, including landfills, mine
waste repositories, low level radioactive waste disposal sites, and
contaminated materials left in place during site remediation. Soils are
used to store infiltrating precipitation in the cover profile during wet
periods, and plants and the atmosphere are used to extract the stored water
during drier periods. WBCs rely on natural hydrologic principles
functioning in the surrounding landscape, and thus can be more sustainable
than conventional engineered barrier systems that work against natural
principles. WBCs typically are less expensive to construct than
conventional covers and are simpler and less expensive to maintain.
