在过去10年中 leed（能源和环境设计的领导者）已发展成为建立业主的高效有效解决方案，以减少费用并限制其建筑物的环境影响。Although many LEED projects take the form of typical commercial, institutional, government, and healthcare facilities, LEED provides many other sectors the ability to differentiate and produce a truly rare project, none more so than the Twin Oaks Landfill in Grimes County, Texas, which achieved LEED Silver certification.
本主题包括与地下储罐拆卸有关的信息。地下储罐用于储存石油或有害物质。由钢制成的较旧地下储罐可以腐蚀并将这些物质泄漏到土壤中，呈现环境问题。业主负责维护，闭合和拆卸。
垃圾填埋场在工程和自包含的站点存储废料，以在受控设置中分解。 The term “landfill” implies a simple earth excavation filled with garbage. While crude waste disposal practices occurred over many previous decades, modern landfills are carefully prepared structures with many common design features. Many landfills safely serve a secondary function such a recreational park or golf course when their maximum capacities are reached. Most landfills are solid waste landfills that receive municipal refuse originating from homes, businesses and institutions. There are some specialized landfills that receive specific industrial wastes including liquids. Even within solid waste landfills, liquid containment is essential because of leachate production. Leachate is an organic waste liquid, a by-product of solid waste moisture and decomposition, mixed with any precipitation or groundwater infiltrating through the landfill. Modern landfill designs will include a bottom layer, a leachate recovery system, a surface cap, and gas release capability, as methane is generated within landfills as organic wastes decompose.
