Hartley, R P

The document outlined here summarizes the state of knowledge regarding the design, construction, and operation of hazardous and nonhazardous waste surface impoundments containing liquids and sludges. The document first outlines the federal regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that apply to waste-containing surface impoundments. It then describes predesign considerations, design characteristics, construction, and operation and maintenance of a completed facility. Contingency planning and response action plans to be implemented in the event of system failure or excessive leaks are discussed in some detail.
