Abstract
Bentonite vertical barriers could be effectively applied as a one of the remedial solution limiting environmental hazards caused by landfills and waste management sites. The paper presents engineering methods aiming at remediation of an old municipal landfill located to the northeast side of Warsaw. The particular attention has been paid to the impact of application of groundwater protection system on the improvement of groundwater quality in the study area and its surroundings. Water quality assessment was performed on the basis of the 20 years data from monitoring network. The reduction of pollutant indicators, including chlorides concentration and electrical conductivity are presented on isoline maps. The results show that the implementation of the containment system has a significant impact on the improvement of the soil-water environment. The results of monitoring data presented in this paper clearly indicate efficiency of the vertical barrier application and its important role in protecting the soil-water environment from contamination.
