List the minimum EPA requirements for a hazardous waste landfill as follows:

(1) Two or more liners have to be provided to prevent the entry of hazardous elements
from the solid waste into the earth layers.
No less than two liners are essential, one at the top and the other at the base. Beat liner
keeps the movement of perilous constituents into the inward liners amid the dynamic life
and post conclusion mind period. While the base liner is to limit the movement of
dangerous constituents if a rupture in the upper part were to happen.

(2) A leachate collection and removal system (LCR) should be provided on top of the
liners and among the liners.
The leachate accumulation and expulsion framework lies promptly over the top liner and
it is composed, developed, worked, and kept up to gather and expel leachate so that the
leachate profundity over the liner does not surpass 30 cm.

(3) Proper provisions have to be made to accommodate the water volume (both surface
run-on and surface run-off) resulting from a 24 hour, 25-year storm.

(4) Monitoring wells have to be installed to assure that the ground water remains
uncontaminated.
The motivation behind the groundwater checking is to guarantee that the projects for
overseeing keep running on, overflow, and leachates are working legitimately so that the
groundwater stays uncontaminated, if defilement is happening, the early winning can be
given, and counter measures can be taken.

(5) A minimum cover (cap) has to be provided on top of the solid waste.

Draw the diagram showing the land filler which meets the above requirements as follows:
