This paper presents a case history of remedial action adopted for contaminated groundwater in a landfill. The objectives of the projects are : (1) to effectively confine contaminated groundwater with an economically reasonable means, (2) to prevent further contamination of soil by collecting and treat the contaminant. and (3) to assure the environmental safety of the landfill during its operating period. Reported are the process from site investigation, through design and construction of an appropriate remedial action, to the monitoring of the selected confinement system. In view of the results of site investigation, deep soil mixing cutoff wall using the DMW(deep soil mixing cutoff wall) method and specially produced HEC soil stabilizer were used for the construction of deep soil mixing cutoff wall. For rock foundation with sever fractures, chemical grout curtain with urethane was installed. The monitoring results to date indicate that the selected vertical barrier performed satisfactorily.
