Abstract
The paper refers to the closure of two old dumps, one for hazardous waste and one for non-hazardous waste. The hazardous waste landfill is bordered by perimeter dykes with dimensions of 80 × 80 m. Its closure was achieved by the execution of a closure system in accordance with the European legislation in force. In order to design and execute the closure of the non-hazardous waste landfill it is necessary to relocate waste in order to obtain 1: 3 slopes. Under these conditions, the maximum capacity of the closed landfill is 89500 m3, resulting a deficit of 191100 m3 of waste for which there is no possibility of relocation to the site. An alternative solution to waste relocation is to build a support structure on the eastern side of the existing landfill to ensure waste stability. A classical support structure (retaining wall, piles, etc.) will have very large dimensions and will involve significant economic efforts. An optimal solution is to build a filling up to the level of the existing deposit, i.e. to make an ecological landfill of non-hazardous industrial waste. The paper deals also with the regulations that had to be followed and the difficulties to obtain construction authorization.
