A new covered landfill or remediated waste containment cell (10) having an excavated bottom surface, lined with a watertight liner (14) and a leak detection system (34, 38) for determining whether or not leakage has occured, either from the top (36), or the bottom (54). The cover (18) over the landfill containment cell (10) substantially prevents rainwater from coming in the top (36), and the liner (14) stops water from erupting up from the bottom (54). This containment cell (10) allows a method of storing waste (100) in an essentially non-contaminating manner, thereby providing an environmentally sound procedure and apparatus for storing toxic wastes (100). This containment cell (10) is particularly suitable for remediating old leaking landfill sites within a short distance of the old site. |
