Abstract
The author considers specific features of operation of solid municipal waste landfills at the post-operation stage in northern climate conditions. It is emphasized that safe operation of landfills requires efficient management of landfill gas and leachate formation. Increased precipitation leads to increased waste moisture content and, as a consequence, to methane generation during different seasons. The author presents the results of measuring methane concentrations and calculating leachate volumes at a landfill located in the north-west of Russia. The conclusion is made about the need to control and manage leachate formation, as well as to take measures for its treatment to prevent environmental and sanitary-hygienic problems associated with evaporation and accumulation of leachate.
