Au fur et à mesure que le CDF [site de mise en dépôt contrôlé] atteint sa capacité nominale d'emmagasinage, les particules fines ont tendance à colmater et à étanchéiser les digues perméables et, par conséquent, à réduire considérablement les mouvements latéraux et verticaux de l'eau depuis le site.
