Dr. Khatami has significant design and construction experience with low level radioactive landfills. Dr. Khatami performed as the resident engineer for the closure of the first geosynthetic cover system at the low level radioactive landfill in Barnwell, South Carolina. The cover system extended over trenches that had been filled for approximately 10 years, and contained waste grades A, B, and C. Dr. Khatami also performed as the project engineer for the design of a landfill for radioactive contaminated materials generated from the decommissioning of the Fernald Uranium Processing Facility located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The landfill was designed to perform for a 2,000-year period. The cross sections of the landfill and storm-water conveyance ditches were designed based on natural shapes of landforms and streams formed over thousands of years to minimize soil erosion from the landfill cover due to wind, and storm-water ditches due to water. The leachate collection system in the landfill was designed to minimize human involvement in the operation of the landfill over the next 2,000 years. Extensive compatibility tests were performed to evaluate effect of radioactive isotopes on the integrity of the geosynthetics used in the landfill lining system. The landfill cover system included components to prevent animals from burrowing over the 2,000 year period. Dr. Khatami was also involved in the permitting process for accepting hazardous waste as part of a transuranic waste being accepted at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) facility in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Dr. Khatami has also been involved in remediation of many hazardous waste contaminated sites.
