Design and Operated as per Landfill Criteria for Municipal Solid Waste, Second Edition (June 2016)
Landfill to receive only non-hazardous solid waste:
Construction and demolition waste
Land clearing debris
Non-hazardous contaminated waste soil
Material recovery/recycling:
Clean wood
Asphalt
Concrete
Steel
Upgraded Landfill Approximate Site life:

500,000 cubic metres of capacity

5. Site Plan and Environmental Controls
Lined Cells near Centre of Property
Leachate Treatment System to East including:
Aeration pond
Contingent settling pond
Infiltration pond
Treated leachate quality will meet applicable Schedule 6 Drinking Water Standards
Groundwater Monitoring locations are located throughout the Site
Water quality at the property boundary will also meet applicable Schedule 6 Drinking Water Standards

6. Leachate Collection System and Base Liner
The landfill will have a base liner system composed of (from bottom to top):
Compacted native ground
Geosynthetic clay liner
HDPE geomembrane liner
Non-woven geotextile
Leachate collection pipes within a granular drainage blanket
Woven geotextile
The base of the landfill will be sloped to convey leachate to a single sump location for extraction and treatment

7. Landfill Final Contours
Vegetated, Sand and Geosynthetic Clay Liner Cover
3H:1V Side Slopes
10H:1V Top Plateau
Landfill Disconnected from Pit Walls
Except on lined Southern Slope
Surface Water Diversion Berm
Constructed on top of excavation to prevent run-on from south of Landfill outside of aggregate pit
Surface Water from Closed Landfill
Conveyed to base of pit for infiltration
