ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the application of covers (also called caps) as components of landfill remediation. Other components-including landfill gas collection and disposal, leachate collection and treatment, hydraulic control of groundwater, and remediation of contaminated groundwater and surface water-are discussed at length by numerous authors (e.g., US EPA 1991; Dunn and Singh 1995; McBean et al. 1995; Koerner and Daniel 1997; Gill et al. 1999; Weand et al. 1999).
