The Ivy
Landfill has alienated itself from its surrounding biotic context as well
as its human context. Undesirable byproducts from the encapsulated
layers of trash have contaminated the site, damaging the surrounding streams
of the Broad Axe Creek and adversely affecting the ecology of the immediate,
natural systems. Residents living near the perimeter of the landfill
are also impacted by these contaminants in the form of dust plumes and
the unpleasant sites and smells of the trash cells. The remediation
of this site begins with the insertion of several systems and experimental
tree plots. Once the site is healed from its contaminants, several
activities will transform it into a productive landscape which will begin
the healing of the site's relationship to its human and biotic neighbors.
