tkrAte r 41.2'•F treatment plant. The Indian River County Landfill shall be operated using proper cover procedures and efficient stormwater diversion techniques to minimize the generation of leachate. Leachate is sampled and analyzed on a semi-annual basis, in order to determine the concentration and type of leachate constituents discharged to the wastewater treatment plant, and to meet Chapter 62-701 reporting requirements. If Indian River County implements a wastewater pretreatment program, the SWDD will arrange for pilot plant testing to determine the best treatment technology to meet pretreatment standards. Most pretreatment ordinances or agreements state that the pretreatment standards shall be met prior to discharge to the public system. If pretreatment is required, the industrial wastewater pretreatment should occur at the landfill facility. Lateral Expansion Leachate Collection/Conveyance System This section provides a description of the leachate collection/conveyance system designed for the lined lateral expansion area proposed to be located between existing Segment 1 and 2. The footprint area of the new system will be approximately 200 feet wide by 1,100 feet long or about 5.0 acres. The leachate collection system will also collect and convey leachate from solid waste placed over a vertical expansion liner placed on the eastern slope of Segment 1. The area protected by the Segment 1 slope liner is approximately 300 feet by 1,100 feet (projected area) or 7.5 acres. The sideslope leachate conveyance system shall consist of two feet of protective sand having a permeability greater than 1.0 (10r cm/sec placed directly over the liner. The leachate from the sideslope liner will sheet flow onto the geomembrane liner of the horizontal expansion composite liner where it will be collected by an 8 -inch diameter perforated pipe, located at the west edge of the horizontal expansion area.
