Cell Construction:
Since early Spring 2007 a contractor has been on the site
building cell 9. This photo is looking from east to west down
the length of this 9.58 acre cell.

Cell Construction:
Another cell 9 photo, this shows two of the layers that comprise
the 5 foot thick liner system. The black panels are one of
the drainage layers and one of the soil layers, which is compacted
grey clay.

Scalehouse:
The Landfill has two scales, one for inbound traffic and the
other for outbound traffic.
|
 |
Cell Construction:
Waste is hauled to the site and deposited at the "working
face". The waste is then fed to the compactor using the
dozer on the left side of the picture.

Working
Face: This aerial photograph is quite a different perspective
of the working face.
|
 |
Cover Operations:
Every evening the waste is covered with an approved cover
material. This picture shows the soil being dumped on the
waste to cover the outside slope. It will be spread to a minimum
of 1 foot thick.

Bat
Study: This summer the Solid Waste Management Facility
commissioned a study to determine if the Indiana Bat was present
in the buffer area surrounding the landfill. The study was
completed finding no evidence of the endangered bat being
present at the site. This Northern Long-eared Bat was captured
and released during the study.

Surface
Water Sampling: The surface waters and ground waters on
the landfill property are sampled 3 times each year. These
sampling rounds are one of many checks to ensure that the
Landfill does not adversely affect the environment.

 |
Open House:
The Solid Waste Management Facility hosted an Open House in
September 2007. Shown is the maintenance garage which housed
several displays.
