(2)  for monitoring and maintaining the leachate or water collection and treatment systems, the biogas collection and evacuation or removal system and the network of groundwater observation wells;

(3)  for the carrying out of samplings, analyses and measurements of leachate, water and biogas; and

(4)  for leak testing the leachate or water collection pipes situated outside the landfill disposal areas and every component in the leachate or water treatment system.
