Landfill and Resource Recovery

The Landfill and Resource Recovery is a site plenty of landfill from commercial, municipal and industrial wastes, therefore the air is contaminated and polluted. The groundwater is also contaminated from waste liquids and from rainwater which enters the landfilled wastes. The surface water of the site is also contaminated with lead. Many thousands of people live around the site which are surrounded by uncontrolled gaseous emissions from the landfill.
One of the most important environmental threat was to the wetlands around the site, nevertheless the clean-up action succeed into reducing the soil erosion from the landfill.
A fence was built in order to limit gaseous emissions and to reduce the potential of being exposed to dangerous materials. Also, a construction of a cap which will prevent the access of any gases under the cap was one idea which came true.
Nowadays, the EPA and the State are working on coming up with new restrictions and regulations at the site for its land and groundwater.
