EPA's Office of Superfund
Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) has prepared a
28-page fact sheet updating the 2003 fact sheet on
evapotranspiration (ET) landfill cover systems. The document
provides information on the regulatory setting for ET covers;
general considerations in their design, performance, and
monitoring; and developmental and implementation status as of
early 2011. Examples of installed ET cover systems are provided
with supporting performance data, as well as a list of 222 sites
that have proposed, approved, and installed ET covers
