Environment Agengy UK Report

Published by the
Environment Agency, The Likely Medium to Long-Term Generation
of Defects in Geomembrane Liners, authored by Needham, Gallagher, Peggs, Howe, and Norris is now available in full on gsa. This report presents a review of the processes and rates of
geomembrane degradation reported from laboratory and
field studies. It reviews landfill monitoring data and research
from related fields to predict future rates of defect generation
in geomembrane liners, for use in risk and performance
assessment of new landfill sites. This report should be used
in conjunction with the Agency’s guidance on
hydrogeological risk assessment for landfills and LandSim
v2.5+.
