Landfill methods. There are three principal landfill methods of landfilling...(1) Excavated cell method...(2) Area method...(3) Embankment method : An embankment method is used in situations where the site topography allows for the landfill to be ramped on a hill side or a steep side slope. This type of landfill has commonly been used in past years for design of landfills in ravines, coulees, or gullies with soil being obtained from the hill side or side slopes.  1, record 3, English, - embankment%20method

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Two general methods of landfilling have evolved: the area method and the trench method. Some schools of thought also include a third, the slope, or ramp, method. In some operations, a slope or ramp is used in combination with the area or trench methods. ... In the ramp or slope method (a variation of the area and trench landfills) the solid wastes are dumped on the side of an existing slope. After spreading the material in thin layers on the slope, the bulldozing equipment compacts it. The cover material, usually obtained just ahead of the working face, is spread on the ramp and compacted.  4, record 3, English, - embankment%20method
