Alaskan Waste Cells

Mat Su Valley, Alaska, is constructing a new “pay as you throw” cell. The site includes old unlined and lined cells. Water quality interests prompted the design of another new lined cell, this one using a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) system. The area’s economic and engineering concerns and how they are resolving them sustainably makes for a good read.
