Estimate the life of a landfill for a user population of 10,000. The available area for the are-type landfill is 10 acres. The water table is estimated at 6.1 m (20 ft) below the ground surface. The pit must have side slope of 1:3, and the final surface must have a slope of 1:4. Assume that soil (used as daily cover) occupies 20% of the compacted volume of waste
