Process Description – King Xxxxxx County Landfill Bioreactor. The bioreactor program that will be implemented at the King Xxxxxx County Landfill involves applying a quantity of liquid that is about twice that applied at the Maplewood Landfill. In this landfill bioreactor, conditions will be established that are intended to significantly increase the rate of degradation of waste during the operating life of the landfill to achieve the benefits identified in Table 3. Although the process of recirculating leachate provides much of the moisture needed to maximize biological degradation of waste, studies have shown that the quantity of liquid needed to maximize biodegradation is much greater than the quantity of leachate generated at most landfills. At the King Xxxxxx County Landfill, sources of liquid other than leachate will be used to supply the additional quantity of liquid needed. These sources may include stormwater, wastewater treatment sludges, or other biota-rich liquid wastes. For this project, a controlled amount of leachate, stormwater, and non-hazardous liquid wastes will be added to the bioreactor test area, as discussed in Section 2.2.2.
