Summary:

This guideline document has been commissioned by the Canadian Council of the Ministers of the Environment to establish current guidelines for engineered hazardous wastes landfill facilities. The guidelines are intended to provide a reference on the basic design, operating and performance requirements for use by the various federal, provincial and territorial regulatory agencies, and designers, owners and operators of engineered hazardous waste landfill facilities in Canada. They are not intended to be a state-of-the-art technology review as this information can be obtained by reference to some of the many publications cited in the bibliography. Nor are they intended to replace professional technical expertise in the various specialized disciplines involved in the field of hazardous waste landfilling.
