The US Government should enforce strict rules to manage landfills…

- - - - “Because the components of the waste buried in closed landfills are extremely complex, ex-post monitoring of the environmental quality is required for closed sites. ”(Weng ,2015, p.34)
    - - “ Most liners are expected to last somewhere between 30 and 50 years. That time frame just happens to coincide with the post-closure liability private landfill operators are subject to; 30 years after a site is shuttered, its owner is no longer responsible for contamination, the public is.” (Rogers, 2005, p.4)
    - - The ex-post environmental monitoring requires substantial financial aid for managing the environmental quality. Because the financial capacity for local municipalities may not be insufficient for the aftercare management of closed landfills, the central governments are suggested to get involved in or to take over the related management to prevent potential mismanagement problems” (Weng ,2015, p.37)
  - - - With sufficient economic incentives considering the potential environmental benefits, the relevant industry can be promoted and economically viable at the markets.Such as: Reground and mixed with virgin plastic raw materials for use in the subsequent production cycles.(Ladany, S., & So, K. ,1994 )
    - - The multi-purpose land reclamation can aid the improvement of municipal infrastructure in the context of urban ecology and social welfare. Such as Biomass storage and soil recovery.establishment for biodiversity preservation. Also ,some types of reclamation (e.g., public parks, sport arenas, civic farms) can actually provide wide spaces for civic activities.Also, the sites can be established as cultural zones considering the local characteristics.Establishment of urban ecological corridors, and Ecological habitats.(Weng ,2015, p.34)
    - - Reducing the waste is the best way to protecting the environment, rather than manage the landfills.(Hossain, 2012)
    - - The recovery and reutilization of methane generation within the sites not only reduce the risk of landfill fire accidents but also have great potential against global warming, while the methane emission from landfilling is an apparent source of GHG emission. Meanwhile, the power generation from the methane recovery can serve as distributive power sources.(Kumar ,2007)
      - Organic waste can be a useful resource for composting.(Seng ,2013)
