Answer:
1.015 ha.
Explanation:
In order to be able to calculate the area for the landfill for 12000 p producing waste for 10 y the following steps must be taken.
STEP ONE: Determine the average solid waste production in kg p^-1 ^y(kg/py).
From the question, we have that average solid waste production is 2.78 kg p^-1 d^- (kg/pd) hence, to change it to kg/py we have;
2.78 × 365 days = 1014.7 kg/py.
STEP TWO: determine the volume of refuse per person in a year.
Thus the volume = 1014.7 kg/py ÷ 500 kg/m^3 = 2.03 m^3 p^- y^-.
STEP THREE: Determine the total volume of solid waste in 10y by 12,000.
Toy volume in 10y = 10 × 12,000 × 2.03 = 243,600 m^3.
STEP FOUR: Determine the are of the landfill.
NB: the total height for the landfill should be 20 + 4 = 24m.
Therefore, the area of the landfill= 243,600 m^3. / 24m = 10,150m^2.
If 10000 m^2 = 1 ha. Then, 10,150m^2 ÷ 10000 m^2 = 1.015 ha.
(f). Make sure to increase the landfill area for improvement.
An area for a landfill for 12000 people producing waste for 10 years is 1,014.7 kg/py.
Given the following data:
To estimate an area for this landfill:
In order to determine an area for this landfill, we would convert the value of the national average solid waste production in kg/pd to kg/py. Thus, we would multiply the value by 365 days.
Note: 1 year = 365 days.
[tex]Area = 2.78 \times 365[/tex]
Area = 1,014.7 kg/py.

Complete question:
Estimate the area for a landfill for 12,000 p producing waste for 10 y (p = people and y = year). Assume that the national average solid waste production can be applied. 2.78 kg/pd is the national average (d = day).
