    Proceedings 44th Canadian Geotechnical Conference Cakgary, Alberta September 29 to October 2, 1991 GEOSYNTHETICS - ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS IN WASTE CONTAINMENT. R.K. Rowe, J.D. Smith University of Wester Ontario, London, Ontario ABSTRACT “This paper reviews the applications for gecrynthetics in wa ‘contsinment. Consideration is given to geotextiles as filters and separators in ‘otherwise conventional landfill design, ihe use of rainage mats as 2 replacement (or conventional granular drainage layers the use of eomembrane liners a5 a supplement to natural or compacted clay bamers, and finally to 2 fully "geosynthetic deign” which incorporates eotextles, geosynthetie drainage mats, geomembranes and geogrds (For reinforcement). INTRODUCTION Gcosymeties have gained widespread acceptance for use in waste ‘oniainment facilities in many regulatory jurisdictions and yet are being viewed with considerable suspicion in other jurisdictions. The ‘object of this paper is to review applications for geosynthetcs in waste containment and 1o comment onthe regulatory and engineer ing implications of using geceymthetics. (GEOTEXTILES AS FILTERS AND SEPARATORS. ‘The primary leachate collection sysiem (installed below the waste) provides very important part inthe design of modem lanai, This ayer serves to minimize the hydraulic head acting on the primary liner and hence minimizes potemial contaminant migration. The potential clogging of this granular layer is well recognized and Instances of granular layers above a liner which are not acing asa
