Valley-type municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill sites were characterized by a large hydraulic gradient, high groundwater flow velocity and rapid contamination migration. It was challenging for traditional permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) to efficiently capture contamination plumes under these conditions. According to the contamination migration characteristics of valley-type landfill sites, a novel passive overflow-PRB was proposed in this paper. The passive overflow-PRB was composed of a low-permeability cutoff wall and a high-permeability PRB, with the PRB situated in the upper-middle section of the cutoff wall. Upstream groundwater would be captured by the cutoff wall, then the groundwater level would be elevated and the contaminated groundwater would be forced through the PRB for remediation. This design was suitable for installation at the downstream outflow of a valley, effectively preventing further migration of the contamination plume off-site, and solving the problem of excessive construction depth required for the PRB. To validate the effectiveness of the passive overflow-PRB, the groundwater ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) from two valley-type landfill sites in Guangdong Province and Zhejiang Province was taken as the remediation target. NaCl-modified zeolite was applied as the reactive material of the PRB, and MODFLOW and MT3DMS models were employed to simulate the collection and remediation effects after construction of passive overflow-PRB. The simulation results indicated that the passive overflow-zeolite PRB could effectively prevent the further migration of NH4+-N contamination plume to the downstream, maintaining concentrations below 20.0mg/L or 1.5mg/L for 5years.
