A waste fill containing chemically stabilized waste materials has been subjected to the overburden loading of a final cap for a period of over two (2) years. Prior to placement of the multicomponent cap, Cone Penetration Test (CPT) soundings were performed in the waste fill to determine the in situ condition of the materials. Settlement calculations developed from CPT and other data are compared to actual settlement survey data and discussions of the accuracy of the predictive method are presented.
