Waste Management

Meiser & Earl, Inc. completed geologic and hydrogeologic investigations for landfill permit and expansions in an area with glaciated terrain.  Prepared and updated sampling and analysis plans; reviewed quarterly monitoring data and provided summaries to the landfill; completed groundwater assessments; oversaw and evaluated water tightness testing for lined leachate storage tank; and conducted exploratory, water-supply, and monitoring well drilling and well decommissioning projects.

Meiser & Earl, Inc. completed a hydrogeologic investigation of the site in the mid to late 1980s with county government to evaluate landfill expansions; conducted geologic and hydrogeologic investigations for subsequent landfill expansions; evaluated groundwater monitoring system data statistically on an annual basis and prepared summary reports; investigated and evaluated leachate detection zone flow issues; reviewed water-quality data from monitoring system and prepare quarterly data summaries; prepared and updated sampling and analysis plans; and supervised monitoring well installations, monitoring well replacements, and well decommissioning projects.

Meiser & Earl, Inc. completed geologic and hydrogeologic investigations for original landfill permit and expansions; designed and supervised installation of groundwater monitoring system; evaluated landfill gas migration impacts in site monitoring well; prepared and updated sampling and analysis plans; supervised well decommissioning projects; completed quarterly sampling and regulatory reporting of monitoring data; reviewed and evaluated leachate collection system and detection zone flows; completed groundwater assessment for leachate release from storage tank; and assisted with major permit modification for regulatory approval of semi-annual groundwater monitoring for a portion of the site.

Meiser & Earl, Inc. conducted geotechnical investigations of a complex geologic setting for a lined landfill in glaciated terrain underlain by carbonate rocks; evaluated previously disposed waste for hazardous waste characteristics; completed groundwater assessment to evaluate volatile organic compounds in monitoring well; conducted geologic and hydrogeologic investigations for the landfill expansion, including surficial geologic mapping for void investigations; completed quarterly groundwater sampling and data review; and prepared work plans for and supervised monitoring well drilling and well decommissioning projects.

Meiser & Earl, Inc. completed geologic/hydrogeologic and geotechnical investigations for landfill expansion and evaluated future expansion options; supervised groundwater monitoring system updates with new monitoring well installations during site development; supervised well decommissioning projects; completed quarterly sampling and regulatory reporting of monitoring data; and reviewed and evaluated leachate collection system and detection zone flows.

Meiser & Earl, Inc. completed an evaluation of groundwater flow directions and groundwater monitoring program for landfill underlain by coal seams and deep mines.  The site contains a municipal waste landfill section that is closed and a construction/demolition landfill section. Meiser & Earl, Inc. conducted soils investigation for a potential landfill expansion; completed quarterly data review and regulatory submittal of monitoring data; completed groundwater assessment to address arsenic levels in some monitoring points; conducted geologic and hydrogeologic investigations for landfill expansions; oversaw groundwater monitoring system updates with new monitoring well installations during site development; and completed quarterly data review and regulatory submittal of monitoring data.
