| Gas collectors at 100' intervals.
Piping of gas.

Groundwater channels at 200' elevations. | Leachate slurry containing
walls (unlined cells)
Leachate pumping pipes (lined + unlined cells) |
The landfill systems are in place. |
| Methane gas is produced by the garbage. It inhibits plant growth atop cells. | Groundwater causes erosion of the soil capping the cells. | Leachate is slurry produced within cells. This liquid can contaminate underground water. | |
| Methane is collected and converted to energy that powers on-site operations. | Groundwater is channeled to remediation ponds, which provide clean water. | An on-site evaporation plant treats leachate. | Landfill concerns are montored/controlled. |
