The excavation and analysis of the barrier systems for four engineered containment cells, constructed from 1984 to 1987, is described. Very limited polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) migration was observed over the 22–25 year period prior to decommissioning. PCBs were predominantly, and preferentially, retarded by the geotextiles (GTXs) and, where present, geomembranes (GMBs). The migration of PCBs in the primary compacted clay liner (CCL) during this period was limited both when used alone and with a GMB. The exhumed GMBs, from both cover and base barriers, had diffusive properties (with respect to volatile organic compounds) comparable to unaged GMBs. For cells with a CCL as the primary base barrier, the inferred PCB diffusion coefficient, De, was 1–2 × 10−10 m2/s and distribution coefficient, Kd, was 10–15 mL/g. For cells where a GMB was the primary base barrier, the inferred PCB partitioning coefficient, Sgf, was 150 000 and diffusion coefficient, Dg, was 1 × 10−14 m2/s. Modelling beyond the 25 years in service predicts no unacceptable PCB impact of the landfill on groundwater and indicates that the design of the barrier system was adequate for an indefinite period given the low service temperatures to which it was subjected. In this diffusion-governed system, small changes to the diffusive properties were found to have a large impact on migration.

At any pressure the heat of vaporization can be expressed as a quadratic function of the boiling point at that pressure. A seven parameter equation expressing the simultaneous dependence on boiling point and pressure can be fitted to the data; six pressures from 1 to 760 Torr (1 Torr = 133.3 Pa) were used. ΔHvap = b11 + b12 In (p) + b13p + (b21 + b22 In (p))tbp + (b31 + b32 In (p))tbp2. This relationship served as a guide for developing a relationship between vapour pressure at 25 °C and the calorimetric heat of vaporization, and also a relationship between vapor pressure at 25 °C and the boiling point at some other pressure. Parameters for both these relationships could be derived from the parameters obtained for ΔHvap as a function of temperature and pressure. A third method was developed starting from an equation for vapor pressure and fitting to the heat of vaporization, the heat capacity of vaporization, and at least one t,p point. These methods allow the estimation of the vapor pressure at room temperature from very meager data. The problems of errors in estimated values are discussed.
