Figure 5. Agricultural limestone being applied and tracked into a refuse fill face. Working lime and other amendments on the steeper slopes that dominate most refuse piles can be challenging. For extremely acidic refuse materials several applications of lime split several months apart may be necessary. It is difficult to spread and incorporate more than 25 tons of lime per acre in one application, even on flat sites.
