As the prospects for the site as a whole, if the undulating ridges of rock extend through the balance of the tract, a worse case asessment — “being that we couldn’t excavate anywhere” — still shows that the life of an “area fill” would be “in excess of 40 years,” Mr. Joyce said.
He explained that with this option, the site would be cleared, the liner installed, and the refuse deposited on top of the liner, with the landfill being built up instead of dug down. And with the final grade at 1:3 and the elevation raised just 20 feet, which is 15 feet beyond the natural high point, the life expectancy would be 50 years, Mr. Joyce added, noting that the “peak” of the fill area would be screened by the tall trees on the tract.
He acknowledged that the change in design would have to be reviewed and approved by the Department of Waste Management, which issues landfill permits.
