Four senior design students partnered to form Sustainable Solutions, responding to the opportunity to aid the COE landfill with its current erosion problem. Erosion concerns on the north-facing slope include scarce vegetative growth, sediment deposition at the base of the slope, rill formation, potential trash exposure, and contamination of the on-site stormwater pond. Sustainable Solutions designed a menu containing effective strategies to reduce erosion on landfill slopes. The menu contains solutions organized by severity of the erosion problem, anticipated cost, and longevity of solution. For the COE recommendation, the feasibility of using local resources such as soil, compost, mulch, leachate, biosolids, and stormwater was determined through research and testing. Different erosion control designs were evaluated with computer modeling, and an on-site experiment was implemented on the north-facing landfill slope to determine the most promising solution.application/pdfCopyright is held by the author who has granted the Oklahoma State University Library the non-exclusive right to share this material in its institutional repository.
