- Description
- Activities related to construction of new landfill sites, as well as remediation and re-cultivation of
the existing ones on the territory of Serbia, have intensified in the past few years. In relation to this, complex research has been conducted to determine natural geological properties of the terrain and its suitability for the proposed construction works and possible environmental pollution. However, during the planning stages of
constructions, which are there for Eco-system protection, little attention is paid to geological foundations, which can themselves produce certain ecological consequences. Few cities and towns in Serbia can boast a tidy and well-planned landfill site. In Serbia, apart from 180 official landfill sites, there are hundreds of “unlicensed” ones that have been formed without any analysis of location suitability – the analysis would have
included certain geotechnical, geo-engineering, hydro geological and ecological studies. That is the reason why, in most people’s minds, an ecological landfill site is the same as an unlicensed one, and they invariably have negative responses to the proposed construction of a new landfill site near inhabited areas. The deepingrained habits of depositing waste directly onto the surface and close to the inhabited areas do not help the cause. This is very prominent on the alluvial terrains that are close to the riverbeds – the kind of terrain most often used in the unlicensed landfill sites (i.e.: stagnant waters, dried waterbeds or natural depressions).
Until now, during the construction of new landfill sites and the existence of the current ones, the following problems have been noted to recur:
• Water resistance of the terrain under the main body of the landfill, characteristically of alluvial terrains.
• Stability of hillsides, characteristical for hilly terrains.
This paper presents brief review of several characteristical examples of landfill sites locations already processed during the investigations in different geological environments.
