Designing, Building, & Regulating Evapotranspiration (ET) Landfill Covers, March 9-10, 2004
This Remediation Technologies Development Forum (RTDF) meeting discussed the state of development of evapotranspiration (ET) landfill cover systems and focus on the design, construction, and regulation of such systems.

Fact Sheet on Evapotranspiration Cover Systems for Waste Containment
USEPA, EPA 542-F-11-001, 28pp, 2011.
This Fact Sheet updates the 2003 Fact Sheet on Evapotranspiration Covers and provides information on the regulatory setting for ET covers, general considerations in their design, performance, and monitoring, and status at the time of writing (2011). Also several examples with supporting performance data are provided, as well as a list of sites that have proposed, approved, and installed ET covers.
