Two candidate sites (CS3 and CS4) were rejected because of
the long distance to main solid waste generation points and wind
direction that is frequently from northwest and west. The candidate
sites CS1, CS2 and CS5 were rejected because of land ownership
problems and no public acceptance. Finally, the candidate
site CS6 was selected as the best point for MSW disposal site in
Mahshahr County. The result of site visiting showed that some
parameters, such as public acceptance and land ownership, were
very important in finalizing selected sites, although it is not possible
to check them by GIS or other available software programs.
The final selected site requires further geotechnical and hydrogeological
analyses to obtain design requirements
