Daily cover procedures should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure they remain effective and compliant with regulations. Many landfills conduct formal reviews at least once a year, while informal checks may occur more frequently to address operational changes, new materials, or observed performance issues.
Updates may be triggered by changes in regulatory requirements, introduction of new cover materials, or challenges such as extreme weather affecting coverage. Reviewing procedures involves evaluating application methods, thickness, material performance, and equipment use, as well as inspecting records to confirm compliance. Keeping procedures current helps maintain consistent protection against odors, litter, pests, and fire hazards, while supporting efficient landfill operations.
