Remediation of landfill in carstic area

Paper presents actual problems in Croatia on landfill construction in carstic area. Cities Dubrovnik and Pula have landfills situated in sensitive area geologically known as carst. This means that these unfavourable geological conditions put special attention on design and construction of landfills, due to high risk of pollution of underground water. Uncontrolled landfills were used for waste deposition before it was decided to proceed with sanation of those locations, according to actual design practice and environmental conditions. Paper elaborates sanation work on landfills during investigation, construction and monitorig phases. Problems regarding geology, geotechnics and barriers are presented and discussed in mind of present rules and specific risks connected with carstic area.
