What is a Landfill?
A site where waste is isolated from the
environment until it is safe.
(until completely degraded biologically, chemically and physically.)
3
Sri Lankan scenario…
 Sri Lanka generates around 6400 tons of wastes per day
-2700 tons collected by local authorities & buried.
-3700 tons are thrown away at road sides. waterways &
wetlands.
 Colombo municipal area generates around 700 tons of
wastes per day.
 Sri Lankan government annually spends roughly
Rs 3 billion in solid waste management
(source:-Ministry of environment & renewable energy)

“Pilisaru” National Solid Waste
Management Project.
 Established in the CEA with effect from 1st January 2008
 with the participation of other government organisations, specially Urban
Development Authority private Institutions, NGOs & experts in this field.
Main objectives.
1) Development of a National Policy on Solid Waste Management.
2) Development of a National Strategy on SWM.
3) Effective education & awareness for all stakeholders on SWM including
training & capacity building.
4) Facilitation for LAS for implementation of SWM projects / programs.
5) Legal reforms to strengthen effective law enforcement.
5LANDFILLS
Sanitary landfills for
sri Lanka…...
 Construction of low cost
sanitary landfills for disposing
residual waste is a key activity
of “Pilisaru” project.
❖ Government of korea agreed to
provide technical and financial
assistance in this case.
6
Landfill to Dompe as
a pilot project.
7
❖ The Korean Government channelled
through KOICA, provided $ 4.5 million as a
grant to establish a fully engineered state-
of-the-art sanitary landfill in Dompe,
Gampaha District.
❖ A commercial forest plantation of Acacia &
Pinus in Maligawatte owned by forest department
selected as the landfill site.
The first ever “state-of-the-art
sanitary landfill” of sri Lanka...
what is a state-of-the-art sanitary landfill?
❖ A landfill includes,
-Liner system
-Leachate collection & treatment system
-Cap system
-Gas recovery system or flaring system
-Landscaping
-Groundwater & gas monitoring system
❖ also require about 30 years of post closure monitoring & planning for
eventual community use
8
Public awareness
programmes & Protests.
❖ There was a enormous public protest demonstrated
against the proposed sanitary landfill site at Dompe.
9
❖ 60 pocket meetings and 8
special Pilisaru Parisara
Gammana Programmes
were conducted in Dompe
area
Approvals…

Life time & post closure plan….
 Originally planed for 6 years.(90tons per day)
 When restricted to dompe PS area due to
public protest,
 Eco-park is planed to establish on the Landfill
area after closure.
19
-Average waste collecting in Dompe PS area per day lies
between 5-10 tons.
-Life time will enhance at least up to 100 years???????
20
Design of the landfill.
❏ Leachate control system
❏ Leachate collection system
❏ Leachate treatment
❏ Ground water & storm water collection system
❏ Gas emission system
❏ Monitoring system
❏ Compost plant 21

➢ Activated bioreactor.
➢ Hambu Pan(Typha angustifolia)
pond.
26
Ground water & storm water
collection system.
➢ Perforated pipe system for ground water collection.
27
➢ A canal around the landfill to storm
water collection.
Gas emission system.
➢ Collecting CH4 as a fuel will not cost effective since
this is a small landfill.
➢ Gas flares are designed.
28
Monitoring system.
➢ Ground water monitoring system only.
-Two tube wells,
-Two nearby residential wells.
➢ No gas monitoring system.
29
Compost plant.
➢ Organic matter separates from the non degradable
wastes.
➢ Use for composting.
