If proper landfill standards are not adhered to, the operation may result in an open dump and create a serious health hazard. A completed landfill will settle and will require periodic maintenance. Because of this settlement factor, special design and construction techniques must be utilized for building constructed on a completed landfill. As a result of the factors listed above, sanitary landfills must be placed in an exclusive use zone, which includes specific design standards and appropriate protection for subsequent use.
