Based on elevated levels of methane detected in this area, all near-by occupied structures which allowed access had their indoor air quality checked. Results indicated that the landfill was not impacting indoor air quality, however, the PRPs installed permanent air monitoring devices in those buildings that gave permission. While installing the permanent fence on the west side of the landfill, another area of waste was found outside the cap and continuing off the landfill property. This waste ranged from 1 foot to 25 feet deep and covered an area approximately 80 feet long and 15 feet wide. This waste was ultimately excavated and place in a trench within the fenced area of the site and then capped in the same manner as the remainder of the site.
Landfill gases continue to be removed from the landfill and treated thermally.
Ground-water monitoring, monitoring of the effectiveness of the remedial systems, and monitoring of indoor air quality of buildings adjacent to the landfill also continue. Regular inspections of the cap and fencing ensure the integrity of these remedial components. HERE to access this information.
