  • Constructing a new landfill site with the following features:
    • Waste storage cell sized to accommodate 20 years of waste, with room for future expansion
    • Waste diversion areas (i.e., for hazardous waste, white goods, tires, e-waste, etc.)
    • Groundwater monitoring wells
    • Perimeter fencing around the site with gated entry
    • Fire break (buffer around the cell with no trees)
    • Stormwater pond and drainage ditches to direct and collect surface water
