Abstract
Nowadays, the focus of landfill planning and design is concerned prevalently with environmental sustainability and the aim to reach Final Storage Quality (FSQ) within a time frame of one generation. The planning and design stage is developed in several steps, including siting with public participation, choice of multibarrier system according to the most appropriate landfill model, definition of the final use of the landfill site (afteruse) and all facilities required to implement nuisance control, and release of emissions in the short-, medium-, and long term. In the development of landfill design, all inputs (waste composition and quality), outputs (leachate and gas emissions), and mandatory or desirable targets (landfill height, operation time, skyline, FSQ) should be fully defined. As landfill operations will continue over a period of decades, there should be some flexibility in planning to allow for future new developments. In this chapter, the different planning and design steps are presented and discussed.
