Fighting Creek Landfill Closure Turf Project
Capping and cover of 16 acres of old landfill was completed in July 2018. This project included installation of geomembrane/plastic top liner and closure turf material. The plastic restricts precipitation infiltration into the buried waste and reduces waste water generation that would have required collection and treatment. The turf provides an artificial vegetative cover protecting the plastic from weather,sun, and vectors. This project has successfully controlled leachate, side-slope seeps, soil erosion, and drainage issues.
