LANDFILL AND SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> Landfill is the creation of dry upland area by the filling or <br /> depositing of sand, soil or gravel into a wetland area. Landfills <br /> also occur to replace shoreland areas removed by wave action or <br /> the normal erosive processes of nature .
