heal.abstract	This paper develops a methodology for selecting landfill design and operation method that enables comparisons among alternative bottom liner designs and monitoring systems. The evaluation is based on the total cost, which accounts for the costs of liner construction, liner quality control measures, construction and operation of the monitoring systems, as well as restoration costs multiplied by the probability of liner failure. The application of the methodology for a reference landfill demonstrates the importance of quality control measures and the contribution of monitoring systems capable of determining the location of leachate leaks. A sensitivity analysis for key parameters, such as hydrogeologic characteristics and contaminant concentration in the leachate, Indicates that the aforementioned conclusions are valid over a wide range of values for these parameters.	en
