1 fitly called on a Texas A&M
O/j Hssor to testify before a sub-
Uvl mpittee hearing on the
jatter.
Dr. Kirk W. Brown, who testi-
last month at a Congres-
nal subcommittee hearing on
ste disposal, said he was called
testify b ccause he is one of few
le who have researched the
sal of organic chemicals.
Brown said that although his
Keith search has found clay liners
not as effective in preventing

they are more effective
synthetic liners,

Agency changed policies af-

ter seeing data from research
being done at Texas A&M by
Brown. Brown’s research on the
effectiveness of clay liners in
preventing leakage of organic
waste materials into ground wa
ter shows that certain concentra
tions of chemical wastes cause
the clay to dry up and crack after
a few years.
So in July, the EPA banned
the use of clay liners in landfills.
The EPA now requires synthetic
liners in landfills, but research
shows that the synthetic liners,
which work like giant plastic
trash can liners, are not effec
tive.
Research at Texas A&M on
synthetic liners shows that with
in a year, 11 of 12 liners tested
leaked. A study of three landfills
in New Jersey using synthetic
liners showed leakage of con-

Liquid wastes should not be
ut in underground landfills,”
e said. The technology is avail
able for building above ground
storage systems, Brown said, but
none have been built with the
proper drainage system.
Since liquid wastes can be re
cycled into solid wastes, there
snould be above ground facili
ties built with proper drainage
systems, he said.
“By the year 2000, we should
have moved to these technolo
gies,” Brown said.

The chemicals in the landfills
remain hazardous for at least
500 years, Brown said.
As a solution to the problem,
Brown advocates finding
another way to dispose of che
