The maximum height of the landfill cells is about 20 feet above the local topography which is flat. The landfill cover has eroded in several places and solid waste is exposed in some of the northern areas. Vegetation on the landfill includes grasses, shrubs, and trees. Drainage swales cross and surround the landfill. Surface water flow in the swales is intermittent except in one swale along the eastern side of the site which contains water year-round.
Vehicular access is restricted to authorized traffic.
A chainlink fence and locked gate were installed at each roadway entrance by the City of North Tonawanda in 1990 and only authorized personnel have keys for these gates. The site is not fenced, except for the gates. The site is accessible by foot or recreational vehicles, and trails are present. The site is bordered by farmland to the west. The operation and maintenance plan will outline the maintenance of the landfill cap, the gas venting system, and the leachate collection system.
