Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is a soil sample extraction method for chemical analysis employed as an analytical method to simulate leaching through a landfill. The testing methodology is used to determine if a waste is characteristically hazardous, i.e., classified as one of the "D" listed wastes by the U.S. Environmental ...
This is a list of Superfund sites in Kentucky designated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) environmental law. The CERCLA federal law of 1980 authorized the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a list of polluted locations requiring a long-term response to clean up hazardous material contaminations.

The chief concern is the ability of a liner to maintain integrity and impermeability over the life of the landfill. Subsurface water monitoring, leachate collection, and clay liners are commonly included in the design and construction of a waste landfill.
As part of a program to encourage the nuclear industry in Kentucky, the Kentucky General Assembly created the Division of Nuclear Information. In 1960 the Kentucky General Assembly passed legislation granting the governor power to enter into agreement with the federal government for the transfer of regulatory powers concerning atomic energy in Kentucky.
The Glen Lily Landfill is an inactive municipal solid waste landfill located in unincorporated Warren County, Kentucky northwest of the city of Bowling Green. The landfill accepted residential and industrial waste from 1975 to 1979; [ 1 ] after being idled, carcinogenic pollutants were found to be leaching into nearby groundwater . [ 2 ]
Environmental Assessment has little to do with the subject of hazardous substance liability, but rather is a study preliminary to an Environmental Impact Statement, which identifies environmental impacts of a land development action and analyzes a broad set of parameters including biodiversity, environmental noise, water pollution, air ...
Since the arc testing method is not dependent on water making good contact through the leak, it is more sensitive and comparatively easy to perform in most types of liner construction (ponds, Landfills, tanks etc.)than the water-based methods. The minimum sensitivity of the arc testing bare geomembrane liner integrity method is a pinhole leak.
