· A thick plastic layer forms a cap that prevents excess precipitation from entering the landfill and forming leachate. This layer also helps to prevent the escape of landfill gas thereby reducing odors. 6 Compacted Clay Is placed over the waste to form a cap when the landfill reaches the permitted height.

· The presence of clay lowers the bulk resistivity of soil or rock and causes the resistivity to become frequency dependent. We will first consider the reasons that cause the resistivity to be reduced. The effect on the bulk resistivity was first noticed in studies of rocks containing clay

Claypan is a layer of clay soil. Claypan sometimes forms on top of hardpan as a separate layer. The clay may be hard when dry and softer when wet but always impedes the flow of water causing drainage problems. Fragipan is a layer of dense compact cemented silt and fine sand. Like other pans it impedes the movement of water.

When Improving Clay Soil Requires Extensive Dirt Work Sometimes fixing clay soil requires extensive work removing the surface soil and replacing it with quality topsoil.

Understanding soil pH and the different materials for making corrections is not hard

· Stratigraphy is a term used by archaeologists and geoarchaeologists to refer to the natural and cultural soil layers that make up an archaeological deposit. The concept first arose as a scientific inquiry in 19th-century geologist Charles Lyell s Law of Superposition which states that because of natural forces soils found deeply buried will

· factors are clay quality amount of clay used per unit area and uniformity. Bentonite is an extremely absorbent granu-lar clay formed from volcanic ash. Bentonite attracts positively charged water particles thus it rapidly hydrates when exposed to liq-uid such as water or leachate. As the clay hydrates it swells giving it the ability to

· In layered (duplex) soils an impeding layer at some depth such as a clay subsoil or coffee rock layer causes the watertable to build up. This is referred to as a perched watertable. These are common soil types in the south western district of Victoria and some areas in Gippsland. The impeding layer is situated at 300mm to 900mm depth.
