Based on the US Federal regulations, (a) the landfill based floor
Leachate must be graded a minimum slope of 2% in directions
collection perpendicular to leachate collection pipes to promote drainage
Toe tiles and prevent ponding above the liner. (b) The leachate collection
seepage Leachate to pipes should be laid on a slope of 1% or more in a direction to
groundwater
intercept liquid flow.

y max = L ⋅ [( r / k + S 2 ) 2
− S] ymax = j ⋅ L ⋅[(4⋅ r / k + S 2 ) 2 − S] /(2⋅ cosα)
ymax = maximum liquid head on the landfill liner, in. or mm; A parameter j in the formula can be calculated as:
L = horizontal drainage distance, in. or mm;
5
r = inflow rate, in./day or mm/sec; j = 1 − 0.12 ⋅ exp{−[log(1.6 ⋅ r / k / S 2 ) 8 ]2 }
k = hydraulic conductivity of the drainage layer, in./day or
mm/sec; ymax = maximum liquid head on the landfill liner, in. or mm;
S = slope of the drainage layer, S = tanα; and L = horizontal drainage distance, in. or mm;
α = slope angle of drainage layer, measured from horizontal, r = inflow rate, in./day or mm/sec;
degrees. k = hydraulic conductivity of the drainage layer, in./day or
mm/sec;
S = slope of the drainage layer, S = tanα; and
α = slope angle of drainage layer, measured from horizontal,
degrees.
