ze) THOMPSON Wise County Landfill
Atta SH Blackwood Site
T&L has been working continuously with Wise County (County) on numerous solid waste management
issues since the late 1980’s. A very brief summary of T&L’s assistance over the past twenty eight (28)
years is as follows:

Solid Waste Master Planning Assistance (1988-present). Planning has been ongoing from the beginning
and continues to the present, however, some of the notable planning efforts include:

a. Landfill Master Plan. In 1991, T&L developed a Master Plan for Landfill development. This Master Plan
established a phasing plan that has been followed for the past twenty three (23) years. The Master Plan
established a 48.7 acre footprint for the landfill developed in five (5) separate phases, some of which
have been subdivided. The estimated costs and life expectancies associated with this Master Plan were
projected, This Master Plan has been followed consistently as the landfill has been expanded through the
years.
b. Development of Landfill Alternatives. On multiple occasions, but more
specifically in 1998, 2004, and 2010, T&L evaluated many different solid waste
disposal alternatives for the County as major decision points approached.
This exercise typically occurred as the County was considering implementing
another phase of landfill expansion, These alternatives generally included:
i. Continuation of County Landfill Operations;
ii, Development of a Transfer Station; and
ili, Regionalizing the Landfill
c. Financial Analy: Working in concert with the Landfill Committee and
County Staff, T&L developed detailed financial models for each alternative
under consideration. These models provided current and future costs for debt
service, equipment capitalization, closure sinking fund, post closure sinking
fund, and landfill operations. Revenues were projected to arrive at an annual
net cost from which a cost per ton was calculated using the annual solid
waste tonnages. The models were developed for the estimated life cycles of | Phase | Construction
the landfill under each alternative.

Landfill Expansion Projects (1989-2014). T&L has provided design, permitting, bidding, construction
contract administration services, resident project representation, quality assurance/quality control (@A/
QC), and certification documentation for Wise County on five (5) separate landfill expansions. Each
project consisted of the installation of a base landfill liner system (with leachate collection system),
gravity sewer connection to the existing leachate collection and pumping system, gas probe wells, access
road improvements, storm drainage improvements, erosion and sediment control, and other associated
items, Some of the other notable features on each of these five (5) projects include:

a. Phase!
i, Year: 1990
ii, Size: 94 acres
iil, Landfill Design: Double Synthetic
Iv, Notable Features: Working closely with Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
(formerly Department of Waste Management) staff during the development of the state’s new
and more stringent solid waste regulations, T&Land Wise County successfully designed, permitted,
constructed, and placed into operation (July 1, 1990) the first publicly owned and operated landfill
in Virginia to receive such a permit under the 1988 DEG Regulations. The construction phase of the
project was completed in only 58 days , thereby enabling Wise County to meet a closure deadline
at its old landfill site (Appalachia Landfill).

v. Notable Features: Project provides fifteen (15) years of life until required construction of Phase
vi, Project completed well under budget.
3. Vertical Landfill Expansions
nce/Highwall Liner Design. Development of the Wise County Landfill hinged on the approval
of a variance to the Solid Waste Management Regulations relative to landfill liner design. The variance
resulted in Wise County being allowed to install a single synthetic liner adjacent to a near vertical (90
degree) highwall, which was created by previous surface coal mining at the landfill site. The variance
was granted based on T&L’s ability to design an acceptable innovative alternative that complies with
the provisions of the DEG Regulations for bottom and side slope surfaces with the exception of the near
vertical highwall. The net result is a substantial monetary savings to Wise County as the life expectancy
of the site has been significantly increased.

mEITTON e@ Blackwood Site (Continued)
b. Vertical Expansions. Throughout the life of the landfill, T&L has provided design, bidding, and construction
contract administration for the several vertical expansions along the highwall in accordance with the
approved variance and associated highwall liner design.
4, Landfill Engineering/Mining Demonstration
forLandfill Stability. T&l assisted Wise County
with the development of an engineering
demonstration to enable the full use of the
landfill footprint theory setting the table
to maximize the life expectancy of the site,
During permitting of the landfill, DEQimposed
2 100 foot set back from the Clintwood Mine,
which is located 400 feet beneath Phases IV
and V of the landfill footprint. Adherence to
this regulatory requirement would reduce the
remaining life expectancy of the landfill by 12.5,
years. Additionally, the cost of closure would
be significantly higher due to an inability to
reclaim adjacent surface mining highwalls.
T&L, in conjunction with Schnabel Engineering
and Dr. Michael Karmis, developed a surface
deformation model that predicted resulting
strains and settlement in the landfill under
worst case earthquake conditions. This Phase VB -Construction Complete - 2013
data was then assessed to develop an
engineered solution for the liner system in
the improved areas within Phases IV and V. Due to predicted strains, T&L recommended that the use of
a Geocomposite Liner System (GCL) in central areas of the Phases IV and V. This cost effective solution
enabled full use of the landfill Footprint and eased closeout costs by accounting landfill development to
provide highwall reclamation,

but not limited to, the following:
«. DEQ Regulatory Compliance with Ongoing Monitoring Programs involving Groundwater Monitoring,
Gas Monitoring, and stormwater monitoring

Development of Landfill Alternatives. T&L evaluated three (3) solid waste disposal alternatives
for the County including:
i. Alternative 1 (Continuation of County Landfill Operations);
li, Alternative 2 (Privatize the Landfill); and
Alternative 3 (Regionalizing the Landfill with Cumberland Plateau)
Financial Analysis. Working in concert with the Landfill Committee and County staff, T&L
developed detailed financial models for each of the above alternatives. These models provided
current and future costs for debt service, equipment capitalization, closure sinking fund, post
closure sinking fund, and landfill operations. Revenues were projected to arrive at an annual
net cost from which a cost per ton was calculated using the annual solid waste tonnages. The
models were developed for the estimated life cycle of the landfill under each alternative.
Evalvation of Privatization Proposal (2005-2006). Tazewell County received a proposal
from a private company desiring to capitalize future landfill infrastructure and operate the
landfill on a long term basis. In conjunction with the Landfill Committee and County staff, T&L
provided input to assist the County as the proposal was considered. Numerous issues were
considered such as disposal costs, annual CPI adjustments, host fees from approved outside

waste streams, County rates (with and without approved outside waste streams), contractual
terms (life of agreement), bonds and surety, environmental liabilities, insurance, staffing, etc.
d. Evaluation of Regional Partnerships with Localities (2006-2008). In an effort to increase
revenues, regionalize the landfill, and reduce overall costs, Tazewell County considered the
possibility of developing a ‘government to government’ Agreement with the nearby local
governments. T&L assisted the County with this process through meeting with the local
government representatives, developing pricing structures and terms for transportation
and disposal services, evaluating potential contractual arrangements, consideration of DEQ
Permit Modifications, evaluation of special wastes, and other pertinent issues.
‘Compliance with Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Regulations (2006-2014). T&L
has assisted the County on several matters involving landfill disposal and permitting issues with
the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). In doing so, T&L has established an excellent
working relationship with the Abingdon Regional Office of DEQ on the Tazewell County Landfill.
Some of these issues include:
a. Letter Agreement between Tazewell County and DEG (August 14, 2006). T&L assisted Tazewell
County with negotiations and the development of action plans in response to a Notice of
Violation (NOV) from DEQ, dated May 16, 2006. This NOV had a significant impact on the
future landfilling potential at the Tazewell County Landfill. The NOV involved alleged disposal
of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and asbestos beyond permitted boundaries in the 1980’s.
Following weeks of negotiations, a Letter Agreement was reached between Tazewell County
and DEG that:
= Avoided fines;

Avoided Consent Orders; and
Resulted in a Letter Agreement with a Plan of Action

The Letter Agreement was reached because of research by T&L and Tazewell County, which
revealed that MSW and asbestos disposal areas were in fact outside of permit #116 (original
permit for the landfill), but within permitted areas covered by #488, which was issued in 1985.
These MSW and asbestos areas had been previously closed prior to 1988 DEG Solid Waste
Regulations. However, this area was subsequently included for future landfilling areas under
permit #564, which issued in the early 1990s.

&LITTON (Continued)
The Letter of Agreement executed between DEQ and Tazewell County required significant
revisions of the earlier closure plan and a permit modification for the reconfiguration of Landfill
Phase IV. Development of Phase IV, as originally permitted under permit #564, necessitated
setbacks from the closed MSW and asbestos disposal areas and removal of 150,000 cubic
yards of unsuitable soil material previously placed in the disposal area (likely waste material
from the excavation of Phases | II, and III).
b. Revised Closure Plat (2006). In response to the Letter Agreement, T&L developed a revised plat
as required by DEG for the actual landfill boundaries and location of the MSW and asbestos
disposal areas.
c. Phase IV Permit Modification (2007-2008). T&L provided DEQ with the required permit
modification documents for the reconfiguration of Phase IV. Through successful negotiation,
this was accomplished by subdivision of the Phase IV landfill disposal area into Phase IVA and
Phase IVB plus a reconfiguration of Phase IVB (excluding former MSW and asbestos areas).
While development of Phase IVB was complicated by the presence of 150,000 cubic yards of
unacceptable soil material, it was still covered by modified permit #564. Ultimately, T&L was
able to successfully preserve most of the original Phase IV area and avoided the submission
of a major permit modification (DEQ allowed the permit to be modified by a minor permit
modification).
d. Liner Tear (2012-2013). T&L assisted the County in the identification of an inadvertent liner tear
adjacent to an anchor trench, review and approval of the situation with DEG, development of
an alternative access point into the landfill, procurement of a Contractor, and inspection of
the construction,

Life Expectancy Study (2006-2007). At the request of Tazewell County, T&L conducted a life
‘expectancy study of the landfill to determine the remaining life expectancy of active landfill Phases
|, Il, and Ill and the projected life expectancy of reconfigured landfill Phase IVA. The study showed.
that while the existing landfill theoretically had five (5) years! worth of life remaining, Phase IVA
needed to be constructed for operational, cost, and marketing reasons. Development of Phase
IVA improved site access, improved leachate management, enhanced the marketability of the
landfill for acceptance of local solid waste streams, and added an additional estimated seven (7)
years to the life of the landfill.

Phase IVA Landfill Expansion (2007-2009). At the request of Tazewell County, T&L provided
updated designs, permitting, bidding, construction contract administration, construction testing,
and certifications to DEQ for the construction of Phase IVA of the landfill. The 5.1 acre project was
awarded to and constructed by A&A Energy, Inc., of Welch, West Virginia at a cost of $1.193 Million,
well within budget.
Clay Liner Study (2007-2008). Since area on and adjacent to the landfill property did not meet
DEG requirements for clay liner material, T&L assisted the County with the assessment of several
alternative borrow sites for use as an acceptable source for clay liner material. An acceptable site
was found and the clay material was used with the Phase IVA landfill construction.
Phase V - Part A Permit (2009-2010). Given the impact of the issues stemming from the Letter
Agreementand permit modification as noted herein, and the likely presence of significant quantities
of waste soil material in Phase IVB, T&L and Tazewell County determined that development of
Phase IVB, while still under permit, presented certain challenges that warranted a shift in the
developmental sequencing of the landfill. This shift involved the development of a new permitted
area (Phase V) to the west of the active landfill area. T&L worked closely with the County to
use the Phase V area as a source of daily cover material, with grading conducted in a controlled
manner to match future anticipated grades for the Phase V landfill expansion area. T&L developed
the necessary permit documents including notices of intent, key maps, vicinity maps depicting all
required features, property control documentation, hydrologic and geotechnical reports developed
by Schnabel Engineering Associates, and other required documentation.
Tazewell County Landfill Gas Development, LLC, (2012-2014). T&L provided Project Management,
civil engineering design support, and construction contract administration, and periodic inspection
‘on the recent landfill gas collection and blower flare station project at the landfill (Design of Gas
System was by Draper Aden Associates as a subconsultant to T&L and the contractor was SCS).

=) tHomeson _ City of Bristol Integrated Solid
®LITTON Si Waste Management Program
Background: T&L. provided engineering consulting services for the City of Bristol on many important solid
waste management issues. T&L acted as the overall program manager for the City for a number of
years, given the interrelationship between the program elements and the required engineering services
necessary to keep the City in compliance with the Solid Waste Management Regulations as promulgated
by DEG and EPA, T&L has also provided services to help prolong the life of the facilities currently in use
by the City. A basic summary of these services includes:


Project Team Approach. T&L assembled a team of engineers to meet the City’s needs on an
immediate basis.


Landfill Closure Plan for the existing landfill.
1g Plan and statistical analysis for the existing landfill.


Groundwater Mor


Leachate Management Program including design and construction of a major pumping station.


Life Expectancy Enhancement Program.


Permit Modifications for minor operational changes.


Construction Management Services for the development of leachate systems and other required
facilities such as stability, berms, scales, etc. These services have consisted of advertising and bidding,
construction administration, geotechnical testing, resident project inspection, and certification to
the DEQ.


While many other levels of service had been provided over time to the City, the above listing generally
covers the major areas of focus.
Innovative Approach: The City of Bristol was involved in the development of an integrated solid waste
management program to address the City’s needs for the next fifty years or more. One of the critical
elements of the program involved the permitting of an abandoned rock quarry as a new landfill site. While
the City was pursuing permitting of the quarry site with another engineering team, T&L assisted the City
in developing methods to extend the life of the existing landfill (Permit #498) so disposal activities could
continue while the quarry was permitted and constructed. This issue was especially important since
the City was accepting solid waste from other jurisdictions to generate income and the existing landfill
(Permit #498) had a limited spaced and footprint at the time.
T&L has made an impact on the life expectancy and capacity of the landfill site. Major areas of focus have
included the following:


The City’s existing landfill consisted of sanitary and debris landfills that were permitted as separate
facilities. The nature of the permitting prohibited any mixing of the waste types. Also, the two
footprints were not allowed to overlap in any fashion. Therefore, the life expectancy of the site was
very much limited. T&L was able to obtain a minor permit modification from the DEQ to consolidate
the two landfills into a single and combined operation. This enabled the City to “bridge the gap” and
take advantage of much air space that was otherwise unavailable.


T&L obtained the necessary permits from the DEQ to enable the City to operate an incinerator for
wood waste products thereby avoiding the burial of bulky, space consuming, and non-compatible
wood wastes.


T&L obtained the necessary regulatory permits to enable the City to integrate the utilization of a
synthetic daily cover into the landfill operation in lieu of cover dirt. This saved the City space and the
cost of hauling dirt.

T&L and the City worked together to develop an innovative landfill reclamation program at the
existing site. This involved interaction with the DEG, development of an Operation Plan, and securing
the equipment necessary to conduct the operation. The City initiated landfill reclamation activities
on the existing landfill site which includes the excavation or mining of solid waste, screening of the
excavated waste to remove salvageable materials and cover soil, and placement of the remaining
waste back into the landfill. This operation increased the landfill volume available for the disposal
of solid waste, and subsequently, increased the life expectancy of the facility. Moreover, the removal
of dirt from the facility avoided the need to bring in additional material for intermediate cover.
Also, future closure costs were reduced since reclaimed soil could be integrated into the capping
operations,

SLITTON & Major Part B Amendment
T&L provided design-build services for the permitting, design and construction of Area C, which was
completed in January 2073. During the course of construction for Area C it became evident to the NRRA
that a Development Plan for the Waste Management Facility should be prepared to assist them with
their planning efforts for the next 40-50 years. In order to help facilitate this process, the NRRA retained
T&L in April 2013 to prepare a Development Plan for the expansion of landfilling operations within the
remaining 358.2 acres of the facility. Highlights of the Development Plan include the following:

Developed a revised Base Grading design for the nearly 50 acres of disposal area, currently permitted

as Area D.


Developed a revised Closure Plan design for the areas currently permitted as Area C and D.


Developed a preliminary Base Grade and Closure Plan design for a new waste disposal unit
comprised of six (6) areas with a total area of 110.88 acres located to the southwest of the active


disposal area.
A project kick-off meeting for Part 8 Permit Amendment project was held in January 2014. In order
to facilitate amendment.process, the NRRA took a phased approach with the first phase of that work
consisting of the performance of the necessary due diligence and coordination with the Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to determine their requirements to proceed with the amendment to
the permitted design documents for the NRRA Solid Waste Management Facility. As part of the due
dilligence phase, T&L performed the following services:

‘At the completion of the due diligence phase, T&L prepared a notice of intent letter and issued documents
to DEQ for their review. In concert with the preliminary submittal, T&L attended a pre-application meeting
with the NRRA and DEG in June 2014 to discuss the proposed amendment and obtain DEQ guidance
for the permit amendment requirements. At the conclusion of the pre-application meeting, the NRRA
decided to move forward with modifying their existing Part B permit. The second phase of the permit
modification process involved the development and submittal to VDEG of the necessary components of
the Part B permit modification, as outlined by VDEG, and was completed in two (2) subsequent phases
consisting of Phase IIA and Phase IIB. The Major Part B Amendment was submitted to DEQ in August of
2016.
The Following provides a summary of the proposed permit amendments:
Revision to Area D consisting of Revised Areas D, E and F with each area consisting of two (2) to three (3)
cells. This revision allowed the NRRA to continue current operations in the most efficient manner consisting
of the construction of solid waste disposal areas in a west to east pattern and filling of cells in a north to
south direction. This revision also allowed the NRRA the most flexibility and consistent operations with
regards to phased construction, stormwater management, cell closure and traffic control. The Revised
Areas are summarized in the table below:
Proposed Areas Proposed Area (Acreage)
Area D 16.15
Area E 16.23
‘Area F 12.27
Total (Areas D, E, and F) 48.65
Revision to the overall Area D waste disposal boundary to accommodate the aforementioned layout of
Areas D, E and F. The intent of this proposed revision was to improve the perimeter access road by
increasing the minimum turning radii from 0 to 300 and lowering the maximum percent grade from
7.22 to 4.00. The revision also allowed the continued construction of crossover roads which assist in
operations at the facility.
Areduction of the base grades to the proposed Areas D, E and F from 1997 feet to 1989 feet.
The final grade for Areas D, E and F and the remaining portions of Areas A, B and C that have not
been closed were revised to incorporate the use of tack on berms in lieu of the terrace system utilized
in past partial closures. The tack on berms will divert runoff from the closure cap to a series of inlets
‘and down chutes which will convey stormwater off of the cap in more efficient manner than the terrace
system. Additionally the revision incorporated intermediate closure cap geocomposite discharge drains.
This revision will reduce the potential for a cap failure by reducing the infiltration of stormwater into the
closure cap soils and by allowing the closure cap geocomposite to drain more efficiently.
Revision to the Leachate Management Plan to utilize a side slope riser for Area F.
The aforementioned revisions resulted in a reduction of earthwork by approximately 830,219 cubic yards
and an increase in capacity of approximately 2,120,333 cubic yards for the overall facility. Additionally,
the aforementioned revisions will add approximately 8.57 years to the life of the facility based on current
lisposal rates,

of the project via the designer-led design build delivery method. T&L subsequently completed the following
tasks:

Boundary survey for purchase of the property;
Conceptual design of the property for use as a compensatory wetland and stream mitigation site;
Preparation of construction documents;
Permitting of the project with the USACE and VDEG;
Project construction; and
Preparation of as-built drawings.

The compensatory mitigation site consisted of the creation of approximately:


0.5 acres forested wetlands;


0.2acres shrub scrub wetlands;


2.0 acres emergent wetlands;


3.2 acres of wetlands; and


10,140 stream credits including buffer enhancement and preservation.


The project was completed in February 2018 for a total cost of approximately $1.07 Million. This project.
is a prime example of the benefits of the designer-led design build delivery method ultimately saving the

T&L was employed by the City to prepare all required engineering plans and specifications for a lateral
expansion of the existing sanitary landfill. A major permit modification was required to consolidate
the existing sanitary and debris landfills into a single, combined sanitary landfill operation. This project
involved the design of liners, leachate collection systems, access roads, groundwater monitoring systems,
and other related facilities.
With the site situated in multiple geologic formations, j.e., shale and limestone, great care was given in
the placement of groundwater monitoring wells. Since the quality of groundwater can inherently vary
in multiple geologic settings, and hence impact future statistical analyses, a groundwater monitoring
system was developed in both the shale and limestone formations. A total of six groundwater monitoring
wells were installed. T&L’s work included characterization of site soils, bedrock contours and groundwater

Agreement
T&L entered into a Retainer Agreement with Botetourt
County Board of Supervisors to provide professional
engineering, planning, and consulting services for the
development of a Solid Waste Transfer Station within
the County.
The County recognized that the existing landfill was
reaching maximum capacity levels and that future
disposal of solid waste would need to take place at an
out-of-county landfill. This modification in the County’s
solid waste management program would necessitate
that a solid waste transfer station be sited, designed,
permitted, and constructed prior to the developing need.
T&L conducted field inspections for six potential sites
to develop a site selection study, with preliminary
statements of probable construction costs for the top
two selections. This included an estimated total annual
budget, estimated annualized debt service, projected operation cost of the transfer station, estimated
annual cost of transportation and disposal costs, and funded depreciation. Once a site was selected
that suited the budget and needs of the county, T&L project team members prepared a final design of
the proposed solid waste transfer system. This included the basic design of the station, construction
administration, Permits, geotechnical investigations, erosion and sediment controls, surveying, and other
related engineering services.

Capability to meet landfill

requirements.
In 1988, the Virginia Department of Waste Management (now known as the Department of Environmental
Quality) promulgated a set of comprehensive Solid Waste Management Regulations that changed the
face of solid waste management in Virginia. For the first time, Virginia imposed regulations on localities
that required the installation of extensive landfill liner systems, leachate collection systems, groundwater
monitoring systems, gas management systems and other costly features. EPA subsequently promulgated
the ‘Subtitle D’ Solid Waste Management Regulations, which were similar to Virginia’s 1988 Regulations
(comprehensive and extensive). However, the EPA ‘Subtitle D’ Regulations were even more stringent
than the Virginia Regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations, which were
subsequently adopted by DEG, became effective on October 9, 1993. The cost impact of compliance with
the ‘Subtitle D’ Regulations resulted in several Southwest Virginia localities deciding to initiate landfill
closure and pursue development of solid waste transfer stations with transportation and disposal
agreements with private waste companies. Due to these regulatory actions, and the decisions of various
Southwest Virginia localities, T&L sited, designed, and permitted five (5) solid waste transfer stations for
six (6) localities.
Since that time, Thompson & Litton has provided professional services on various projects for over two
dozen different solid waste disposal facilities. T&L has assisted each of these landfill clients on a multitude
of projects arising from new state regulations and EPA regulations governing solid waste management.
T&L’s solid waste management experience has included construction administration/ inspection; new
landfill design; vertical and lateral landfill expansions; groundwater monitoring programs for existing, new,
and closed landfills; variance requests; solid waste management plans (including recycling and financing);
closure and post-closure design; feasibility analyses; landfill siting studies; regionalization studies; solid
waste management financing; and solid waste transfer station siting studies and design.
T&L is prepared to begin work immediately on your projects so that the vision of the County may become
reality as soon as possible. We have the manpower available to perform the work in an efficient and
timely manner. We believe that we can determine a realistic schedule and provide for efficient completion
of your projects.
T&L is currently capable of producing 11,024 man-hours per month. We expect this level of production
capability to continue throughout 2022, The overalll resources of T&L indicate an availability of man-hours
that can be expeditiously dedicated to your projects following the identification of the project scope and
the type of A/E resources required to complete the task at hand.
On a regular basis, our project managers and technical department managers review manpower
availability and project demands. A formal review with Principal oversight is conducted monthly. The goal
of these reviews is to determine where manpower is needed to keep projects on schedule and to meet
client needs. These reviews also aid in anticipating future needs such that resources can be allocated
accordingly.

Listed below is’a detailed narrative explaining T&L’s background and experience working on other
specific projects similar to this RFP and comprehensive knowledge of a broad spectrum of solid waste
management projects.
T&L. has provided a multitude of planning, project management, engineering, architectural, design-build,
idding and construction services for solid waste management projects, most of which are located in
southwest Virginia. A sampling of these services is included herein.
Routine solid waste operations analysi
T&L has been providing the services noted below to solid waste management clients to assist with
evaluation of operational efficiencies:
a, In-Situ Compaction Calculations. T&L’s in-house surveying and engineering personnel have provided
periodic topographic survey updates of the landfill cells and analysis of the waste stream and daily cover
usage over time to provide estimates of in-situ compaction rates.
b. Life Expectancy Calculations. T&L routinely provides life expectancy estimates based on periodic
topographic surveys and engineering analysis
¢. Construction Stakeout Services. When a client requires construction staking for various landfill
operational purposes, i.e. grade staking to determine final slope compliance, temporary access roads,
borrow areas, ete., T&L has promptly assisted on an as needed basis.

d. Landfill Facility Repairs. In the
event that a particular portion of the
landfill facility has been damaged oo
and/or requires attention or routine
maintenance, T&L is in a position to
respond quickly. T&L has assisted
clients with the repair of an accidental
liner tear by providing inspection of the
liner welds and quality control testing
of the repairs on very short notice.
Minor Solid Waste Permit Amendments.
T&L has assisted our clients with
many requests for Minor Permit
Amendments. Some examples include
integration of tire shredding operations
into the landfill operations, utilization
of alternative daily cover products
and techniques, acceptance of spe:
wastes, etc.
Leachate Management system analysis
As part of T&L’s extensive experience Part B’s and/or Major Permit Modification designs, T&L has
provided leachate management system analysis utilizing the HELP model to develop leachate flow
estimates for design of the leachate collection and treatment systems. T&L has designed a number of
leachate management systems including storage tanks, gravity collection lines, and pump stations/force
mains. T&L also has designed a number of liner system configurations that minimize leachate generation,
especially during the initial stages of operation where separation of stormwater from solid waste is
critical.
Landfill gas management system analysis
T&L has been assisting clients with the development of gas remediation plans as required by DEQ when
the regulatory thresholds are exceeded in gas monitoring probes. Whenever practical, T&L takes a
systematic approach to these problems beginning with efforts for simple passive solutions prior to the
implementation of more intensive remedies (such as extraction systems). T&L recently assisted a client
with the development of a gas remediation plan due to high levels of methane in a gas probe adjacent to
the landfill. Following attempts to intercept the flow of migrating gas from the landfill cell, the probe was
purged and a stepped up weekly testing program implemented for a ninety (90) day period. Acceptable
methane levels during the ninety (90) day period allow the client to return to normal quarterly testing and
monitoring.
