Is there a preventive measure incorporated in the facility to prevent leaching?

This landfill is specially designed to reduce leacheate generation. The technology used in this landfill has been transferred from Germany where no leachate percolation has occurred in any landfill since 1985. Other measures also include careful site selection based on geological profile, four protective layers (clay, plastic, geo-membrane and drainage) and exclusion of liquid waste and rainwater by covering it during monsoon. Waste with high moisture content will be dried before hand. If, however, there is leachate generation, it will be collected in the drainage layer and treated.
