SECURE LANDFILL AND METHOD OF OPERATING A LANDFILL FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a secure landfill and to a method of operating a hazardous waste secure landfill characterized by a substantial reduction in the amount of leachate. The amount of leachate is minimized by maintaining a substantial amount of the atmospheric moisture collected within the confines of the fill separate from the waste material in the fill and removing such uncontaminated moisture from the fill site and disposing of it outside the fill confines. The present fill is divided by berms or dikes into a plurality of separate water tight zones. The landfill has a common low area to which liquids within the landfill flow and can be centrally collected and monitored. Atmospheric coisture accumulating in inactive, separated and uncontaminated zones is collected and disposed of outside the confines of the fill without mixing with the leachate, or drainage, from areas of the fill in active use. As a zone, or subdivision thereof, is filled with waste, the filled area is closed and permanently sealed. In such manner the landfill is progressively, incrementally closed and permanently sealed.
