Apparatus and method to apply liquid to solid waste disposal site
First Claim
1. A method to apply waste treatment liquid to a solid waste disposal site comprising the steps of:
- connecting a vehicle for solid waste compacting with an apparatus for distributing leachate over a working face of a solid waste disposal site said apparatus comprising;
an inflow conduit to receive inflow leachate;
a storage tank for the leachate received from said inflow conduit, the storage tank forming a blade for the vehicle;
an outflow conduit for the leachate to flow out of said storage tank;
a control valve that contains a remote-valve control, said storage tank including an outlet opening positioned to allow the leachate to gravity feed through said outflow conduit;
a manifold inlet conduit attached to the said control valve to allow leachate to flow through when the said control valve opens, and an unpressurized manifold to allow the leachate received from the manifold inlet conduit to be distributed over the working face;
filling said storage tank with leachate; and
releasing said leachate in the liquid form from said tank to a portion of said site in need of moisture.

Abstract
This invention relates to a method to apply waste treatment liquid to a solid waste disposal site by filing a storage tank with waste treatment liquid, connecting the liquid storage tank with a vehicle for solid waste compacting and releasing the waste treatment liquid to a portion of solid waste site in need of moisture. This invention further provided an apparatus for distributing waste treatment liquid over the working face of a solid waste disposal site includes an inflow conduit, a storage tank, an outflow conduit, a control valve that contains a remote-valve control; manifold inlet conduit attached to the control valve, and a manifold to allow the liquid received from the manifold inlet conduit to be distributed evenly over the working face.
