Summary: | Sarimukti sanitary landfill is a landfill built by the local government as a
replacement for the Leuwigajah sanitary landfill, which experienced landslides.
The composition of the waste disposed at the Sarimukti sanitary landfill is very
diverse. The wastes may contain inorganic and organic chemicals that can harm
humans if present in high concentrations. These chemicals are carried by
leachates, which move down through rocks that underlie this landfill, and thus it
can contaminate groundwater. The analysis of stable isotope of deuterium (?2H)
and oxygen-18 (?18O), which is supported by the chemical data of groundwater,
can be used to know the water source; thus, it can be known with what materials
the water mixed and what processes had happened. This research was conducted
by geological and hydrogeological mapping. Eight water samples were taken to
be used in ion chromatography, deuterium (?2H) and oxygen-18 (?18O) isotopes
analysis.
The rock around the landfill consists of three units, from the oldest to the
youngest: Interbedded Claystone-Sandstone Unit, Tuff Unit, and Volcanic
Breccia Unit. The Interbedded Claystone-Sandstone Unit is thought to act as an
aquitard. The Tuff Unit is also thought to act as an aquitard, while Volcanic
Breccia Unit is thought to act as an aquifer. Ion chromatography (IC) analysis
showed that the concentrations of Cl-, NO2
-, HCO3
-, Na+, and NH4
+ exceeded the
limit values of Permenkes RI No. 492/MENKES/ PER/IV/2010. This can be due
to the interaction of groundwater with pollutants around the study area, such as
landfill waste, household waste, or fertilizer used on agricultural land. The
result of stable isotope analysis indicates a mixture of leachate and groundwater
in the study area. This is shown by the isotope values of A5, SW2, SW4, and SP2
samples which are between the uncontaminated groundwater (SP1) and
leachates water and far from the LMWL line. The calculation of the mixing ratio
was also carried out in this study. The result is 2.56% leachate mixed with
groundwater. |
