Abstract

The article discusses methodological principles of typifying and zoning territories by suitability of engineering geological conditions for the allocation of municipal solid waste (MSW) management facilities in the Central Federal District (CFD) of the Russian Federation. The suitability of territories for municipal solid waste disposal is assessed according to the presence of weakly permeable deposits in the geological cross-section and their occurrence mode. A “map of engineering geological zoning CFD by the conditions of allocation MSW disposal sites and utilization facilities” has been compiled to a scale 1 : 2 500000. The map gives a general indication of the suitability of the planned sites for waste disposal within the regarded region; it shows that, for the bulk of territory, the allocation of MSW disposal and management facilities requires undertaking additional measures for the geoenvironment protection from contamination.
