ABSTRACT:
A composition and method for forming a water-impermeable barrier in soil such as for use in closing a waste disposal cell. The composition comprises a water-impermeable sheet to each side of which has been applied an adhesive such as polybutene. The sheet is a substantially nonflammable, water-impermeable, highly stretchable film, preferably a plasticized polyvinyl chloride-based or very low density polyethylene film. The composition is applied to a first layer of soil such as a landfill site and covered with a second layer of soil. When the first layer is sloped, several rows of the composition placed in adjacent, overlapping relationship, starting at the bottom of the slope. The soil particles in the first and second soil layers adhere to the sheet and enable the slope of the first layer to approach the shear angle for that type of soil. Thus, the disposal cell can have steeper sides and hold more waste than otherwise.
