Investigation of the Jerubaičiai landfill leachate
Egidijus PETRAITIS
According to the data provided by the Plungė Municipality, all old waste accumulation sites have been closed and are undergoing re-cultivation. The only operating landfill is the new landfill of Jerubaičiai. The new landfill of Plungė town was opened in Jerubaičiai village in 2001. Currently, the first 2 sections are being filled. The site is used for the disposal of household waste only, whereas other types of waste are sorted out in a specially designated site near the industrial zone. Operation of the landfill results in the formation of landfill leachate, which is directed to treatment plants. An experiment was carried out in order to determine the trends of the permeability of the leachate formed in the soil. Concentration of heavy metals was determined in the Jerubaičiai landfill leachate, samples of soil were taken from the landfill area, and nickel concentration was investigated.
