The landfill is constructed as a [[Containment Facility]], utilizing the underlying clay materials as the principal barrier. The [[Landfill Lining System]] is augmented with a flexible membrane liner of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) on the base and the lower part of the sidewalls. The sidewalls are steeply graded and required buttressing to enable construction within the 30 meter deep quarry.
