Abstract
The invention disclosed herein includes apparatus and a method for collecting leachate and storing it to provide ballast on top of landfill covers at a landfill. A control berm is built on top of the exposed landfill cover forming a barrier for ponding leachate. Leachate is collected from the waste interred at the landfill through known leachate collection system methods and apparatus and transported for deposit on the top surface of a landfill cover thereby resulting in the impoundment and ponding of the leachate on top of the landfill cover and providing ballast to keep the landfill cover in place and minimizing, if not preventing, wind uplift or shearing of the cover.
