ABSTRACT
Landlls may be classied in accordance with several criteria. e most common criteria used to classify landlls are type of waste, type of liner system, and geometric conguration. Based on current federal regulations, landlls are classied with respect to the type of waste. ey contain: municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, and other types of solid waste. Federal regulations regarding these three types of landlls are published in Section 258, Section 264, and Section 257, respectively, of the Code of Federal Regulations. State regulations are, however, frequently more stringent than federal regulations. State regulations frequently include specic regulations for landlls where other types of waste will be disposed, such as industrial waste, construction demolition debris, and residual waste.
