You need to characterize the landfill leachate, both volume and chemical composition of the leachate and you need to look at what are the resources that you have onsite to treat the wastewater (characteristics of site, slope, soil, do you have a liner planned for the CW?, etc.)

Then you need to decide how to process that leachate given the resources that are available. So yes, you can do this and make it work. It might be neccessary to plant a few different types of wetlands to treat the various components found in the leachate. Phytoremediation with hyperaccumulators may be required, along with the the standard constructed wetlands that could be composed of reeds and other types of vegetation.
