Project Description:
​This solid waste landfill closure project included all aspects of solid waste management including environmental impact assessment, development of a refuse recycling plan, regulatory compliance management and final construction management. The  unlicensed landfill covered about 1 acre of a 55 acre industrial  complex where nearly 10,000 cu.yds of solid waste including painted metal light fixtures and building debris was historically buried. Under the applicable solid waste regulations, assessment and closure was required under both the Solid Waste Regulations and Oil and Hazardous Materials Regulations, leading to a risk based closure. Following environmental impact assessment, including wetlands, ecological, sediment, surface water, ground water and soil aspects, as well as complete mapping of the fill area, a closure plan was compiled that included removal and recycling of metals products and construction debris. After excavation, recoverable materials were screened and recycled and the site was restored to match pre-excavation conditions.
