Waste Containment Facilities, Second Edition - David E. Daniel, Ph.D., P.E. & Robert M. Koerner, Ph.D., P.E.
Properly constructed and carefully maintained waste containment facilities protect human health and the environment. In Waste Containment Facilities, 2nd Edition, Daniel and Koerner provide technical guidance for the complex task of ensuring construction quality control and assurance of geosynthetics used to contain waste, as well as manufacturing quality assurance and control of these materials.
This book covers all types of waste containment facilities, including hazardous waste landfills and impoundments, municipal solid-waste landfills, non-hazardous-waste liquid impoundments, and final covers for new facilities and site remediation projects. The new edition updates and expands the previous edition to reflect recent developments in test methods, specifications, and field practice. Engineers and managers involved in the design, construction, permitting, and operation of waste containment facilities and in the fabrication of geosynthetic material will find this book an essential technical resource.

About The Author
David E. Daniel, Ph.D., P.E., is currently serving as the fourth president of the University of Texas at Dallas. He has published more than 100 technical articles and written or edited five books. He was awarded the Norman Medal A limited number of review copies are available.
Robert M. Koerner, Ph.D., P.E., is emeritus professor of civil engineering at Drexel University and founder and director of the Geosynthetic Research Institute/Geosynthetics Institute. He was coauthor of the first book on geotextiles and is the author of a successful textbook on geosynthetics, now in its fifth edition.
Daniel and Koerner are also the authors of Final Covers for Solid Waste Landfills and Abandoned Dumps (ASCE Press and Thomas Telford, 1997).
Here's what the experts are saying about Waste Containment Facilities:
"The authors provide the latest in landfill construction guidance with a ready source of applicable, up-to-date standards and a comprehensive list of reference on every aspect of landfill construction. I find this hook particularly useful in transitioning students from design calculations to how waste disposal facilities are actually built to junction as they were intended. "
John J. Bowers, Croft Distinguished Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Missouri
"The second edition of this book is an excellent update to the first edition, which has been used by engineers worldwide. The second edition is the authoritative source of information on CQA/CQC/or liner and cover systems, and should he in the library of all engineers involved in design and construction of waste containment systems."
Craig H. Benson, Ph.D., P.E., Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison
"The authors have prepared an outstanding update of the industry standard reference on CQA and CQC protocol for geosynthetic lining and final cover systems. This document should be the standard issue guide used by every monitor; technician and engineer involved in the construction program of environmentally sensitive liners and final cover systems. As environmental stewards, the waste industry and engineering community must champion the incorporation of this document into the construction program protocol for all environmental protection projects."
Anthony W. Eith, P.E., Director of Engineering, Waste Management
