About This Item
ASTM D6523 is the Standard Guide for Evaluation and Selection of Alternative Daily Covers (ADCs) for Sanitary Landfills, providing a practical framework for assessing cover options used in landfill operations. It helps users compare alternative materials and systems for daily cover applications, with attention to performance and suitability in a sanitary landfill setting. As a technical reference, ASTM D6523 supports more informed selection decisions and helps align product evaluation with consistent engineering practice.
Overview of ASTM D6523
This ASTM standard guide addresses the evaluation and selection of alternative daily covers intended for sanitary landfills. Its role is to help users consider how ADCs may perform in daily landfill cover applications, where operational needs, material characteristics, and site conditions can influence the choice of cover method. ASTM D6523 is commonly used as a decision-support document rather than a prescriptive specification, making it useful for reviewing options and comparing candidate materials on a consistent basis.
Common use cases of ASTM D6523
ASTM D6523 is commonly used when landfill operators, engineers, and procurement teams are reviewing alternative daily cover materials for sanitary landfill operations. It can support evaluation of cover products during planning, material selection, or performance review, especially where a landfill is considering options beyond conventional soil cover. The guide is also useful for documenting the basis of selection and aligning internal review processes with a recognized ASTM standard.
Benefits of using ASTM D6523
Using ASTM D6523 can improve consistency in how alternative daily covers are evaluated and selected for sanitary landfill use. It helps support clearer technical comparisons, which may reduce uncertainty during procurement and project review. The guide can also aid compliance efforts by providing a recognized framework for decision-making, while supporting quality control and risk reduction through more structured assessment of cover options. For organizations managing landfill performance, ASTM D6523 offers a practical reference for informed selection.
