Description/Significance
After grubbing and stumping 20,000 cy of material from the site, the crews had to remove another 80,000 cy of onsite material to make room for the new cell. Most of the material was hauled to an on-site stockpile area using off-road haul trucks while the remainder was hauled to the active cell to be used as temporary cover.
In addition, crews were scheduled to excavate approximately 15,000 cy of solid waste to accommodate the leachate collection tie-ins.
Once the excavation was complete, the crews installed the cell liner system, which consisted of 27,000 cy of sand, 19,000 cy of clay and a complete HDPE liner system.
