This document provides guidance on the approach to the earthworks used in landfill construction. It deals with the issues relating to the design, construction and validation of earthworks for landfill sites - not just clay liners but also the cut and fill slopes required in the formation of the landfill cells, lagoons, ramps and bunds.
