First sentence: The primary purpose for IWMB staff to visit landfills after earthquakes is to obtain reconnaissance level information as to whether the landfill can continue to operate (often at increased daily tonnages due to an increase in the waste stream after an earthquake) or if the facility must be closed to repair damage caused by earthquake-related effects prior to reopening.
