A. Total Landfill Site Development Area (top)

• Total area of the landfill is 1039 acres including footprint, support facilities, and buffer areas.

B. Landfill Footprint (top)

• Total area of 150 acres that will be used for the disposal of waste.
• Underlain by deep tight soils.
• Dual composite liner system constructed beneath all areas of the footprint that will provide collection of leachate,(water that has come in contact with waste), and protection of groundwater resources.
• All areas of footprint will be capped with protection layer after reaching final elevations.
• Landfill gas collection system installed throughout footprint.

C. Landfill Cells (1, 2, 3,…) (top)

• Area within landfill footprint where waste is disposed.
• Initial construction included cells 1, 2 and 3.
• Future construction of cells 4-19 will be phased throughout the life of the landfill.

D. Limits of Construction (top)

• Area within the limits of landfill construction, encompassing 252 acres of the total 1039 acre site.

E. Stormwater Detention Basins (top)

• Collect stormwater, not leachate, from footprint area of landfill for controlled discharge to streams to prevent flooding.

F. Sediment Control Basins (top)

• Series of ponds that will collect sediment, i.e. silt/sand, from stormwater to prevent silting of streams.

G. Scale House and Convenience Area (top)

• Scale house to control access to site and weigh incoming waste.

H. Leachate Storage Tanks (top)

• Two, 1.3 million gallon dual containment tanks to store the leachate collected by the liner systems. Leachate is pumped into tankers for transportation and disposal at a waste water treatment facility.

I. Maintenance/Scale/Office Facility (top)

• Buildings for the maintenance/storage of landfill equipment, facilities for landfill personnel, and landfill office.
• Scale to weigh incoming waste.

J. Mitigation Wetlands (top)

• Series of new wetlands totaling 32.6 acres created on the landfill site and buffer areas to replace wetlands that can't be avoided by construction.
• For additional details on wetlands, click here.

 K. Buffer Areas (top)

• 889 acres of land within the landfill site that will be used for visual screening, snowmobile trails and wetland mitigation.
