Landfill Regulations

Landfill regulations are rules designed to manage how waste is safely disposed of, minimizing environmental and health impacts. They set standards for cell construction, leachate and gas collection, and daily covering to prevent contamination of soil and water. Permits and inspections ensure landfills operate properly, reduce hazards like groundwater pollution or explosions, and follow environmental laws. These regulations promote responsible waste management, protect public health, and aim to reduce the overall environmental footprint of landfilling activities.
