Plastic liners cover a landfarming cell near the Tanke Site E project near Nome, Alaska. The liners create a greenhouse effect by trapping heat and moisture to provide ideal conditions for microbial activity that degrades contaminates. Landfarming is a potential solution to meet the needs of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Alaska District’s Formerly Used Defense Sites program across Alaska. The process includes removing contaminated soil from the source location, spreading it across an expansive area 1- to 2-feet thick, tilling consistently and then letting nature take control to degrade the pollutants.
