Chiba Prefecture’s Approach to Stable Landfill Operations

Abstract

Although measures are followed as outlined by standard ministerial orders and administrative guidelines, many problems have occurred at industrial waste final disposal sites in Chiba Prefecture. In light of this situation, a procedural manual for maintenance was developed with the aim of making operations at landfills in Chiba more stable, working toward the prevention of accidents and minimizing damages by referring to local features and reviewing reports on past accidents. This paper introduces the most important points found in the manual.
