Abstract
Abstract Municipal landfills are one of the most human-transformed areas of nature, and the process of designing and building a landfill is one of the most difficult strategic issues within human clusters, in particular due to the requirements that a landfill should meet, including the method of its establishment and closure. The main aim of the article is to present a case study of one, currently reclaimed landfill, located in Grudziądz - a district town in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province - at Rataja Street, which was closed down in 1997. The discussion of this case was, in turn, an answer to the question about one of the possible methods of landfill reclamation. The article is based on the results of the author’s own research - both in terms of field work and archive searches. The discussion of this case served to illustrate how the reclamation was carried out, what technologies of biogas recovery were used and what the results of the checks were.
Highlights
Municipal landfills are some of nature's most transformed areas
In the case of reclamation of the landfill in Grudziądz, no specific guidelines were available, while the reclamation plan was commissioned to specialists and scientists dealing with environmental protection issues on a daily basis
The aim of the study is to present a case study of a rehabilitated landfill site located in Grudziądz (Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship), in which the reclamation process, the technologies used and the results of control tests of the waste heap are presented
Summary
Municipal landfills are some of nature's most transformed areas. In terms of construction, landfills are among the most technically challenging facilities, they are required to be as tight as possible and to ensure a minimum impact on the environment, e.g. by maintaining a protective zone of at least 300m from the nearest residential area, in order to avoid a direct impact of the landfill on residents. Developing a landfill reclamation project is not an easy task This is because it determines the minimization of the potentially negative impact on the environment and the extent to which it is possible to restore the degraded areas to their natural or utility values [7]. In the case of reclamation of the landfill in Grudziądz, no specific guidelines were available, while the reclamation plan was commissioned to specialists and scientists dealing with environmental protection issues on a daily basis In this way, the reclamation plan was created as part of the document discussed in this article entitled Rekultywacja i ukształtowanie terenu wysypiska z możliwością jego eksploatacji do końca 1996 r. The aim of the study is to present a case study of a rehabilitated landfill site located in Grudziądz (Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship), in which the reclamation process, the technologies used and the results of control tests of the waste heap are presented
