| Short description: |
Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation
(OSRTI) has updated the project profiles to reflect recent
developments in the field of alternative landfill covers. The
website contains information on proposed, tested, or installed
alternative covers-primarily evapotranspiration (ET) covers-at
waste disposal sites, including municipal solid waste and
hazardous waste landfills and radioactive waste sites. The
database has grown from 92 to 222 landfill sites with the
addition of 130 new sites that use ET covers. Contact
information is provided, and issued or proposed permits where
available. These sites are found primarily in the arid and
semi-arid regions of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and
the Great Plains states.
