Environmental Assessment of Landfill Expansion Project

Adopting advanced techniques for evolving tech and regulations

As landfills and waste management sites age and reach capacity, expansion projects must respond to increasing demand while also aligning with evolving environmental regulations and sustainability goals. These projects often face the dual challenge of navigating complex regulatory frameworks, sometimes at multiple levels of government, while managing concerns from nearby communities and stakeholders. In a recent landfill expansion project, advanced assessments and monitoring techniques were adopted to ensure compliance with strict environmental standards, including protecting groundwater, minimizing noise and odor impacts, and managing leachate effectively. The project balanced regulatory demands and operational needs, helping position the landfill as a responsible, future-ready facility.
