OSTI ID:7056430

In August 1988, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed Solid Waste Disposal Facilities Criteria (40 CFR Part 258) for municipal solid-waste landfills. This background document is the basis for the development of a portion of the Subtitle D criteria. The document presents information on the character of leachate from municipal solid-waste landfills based on a study of existing leachate data. The purpose of the document was to: (1) investigate municipal solid-waste-landfill leachate; (2) determine the constituents present; (3) determine the concentrations of the constituents present relative to human health and environmental regulatory standards; and (4) evaluate the effects of Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations on constituent concentrations in municipal solid-waste-landfill leachate. The document describes the sources of the data and its quality and presents the results of the study.
