The purpose of this study was to determine any detrimental effects on surrounding environments by using bottom ash, waste tire, and mixture as a fill material to raise the ground level. Three different initial pHs (4, 6, 8) were applied to bottom ash and initial pH of 4 was used to waste tire and mixture. Among 7 heavy metals, Pb and Zn were exceeded drinking water standards but their concentrations decreased below drinking water standards within 1 PVE. Among 5 anions, sulfate exceeded 10 times of drinking water standards and further higher partition coefficients resulted in increased PVE of 8.21. For the mixture of bottom ash and waste tire, its concentrations of heavy metals and anions were decreased due to the dilution effect and lowered PVE from 8.21 (BA) to 5.89.
