Oneida Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority

B&L was the principal author of an Environmental Impact Statement and alternatives analysis that resulted in the issuance of a Corps of Engineers wetland permit to allow for 46.6 acres of federally regulated wetlands to be impacted by development of the Regional Landfill.  B&L also prepared the applications and received regulatory approval of the solid waste permits and Title V air permit for the 150-acre Subtitle D landfill facility.  Following issuance of the permits, B&L prepared final plans and specifications for the site access roads, leachate storage and loadout facility, the first 23.6 acres of double composite liner, leachate pump station, fueling facility, scale, operations and maintenance facility, storage facilities, site-wide SCADA system, and an extensive stormwater management and staged sediment control system.  B&L was responsible for all construction administration and inspection for the project.

City of Auburn Landfill

B&L provided the permitting, design, and construction administration and inspection services for the collection of landfill gas from the closed 42-acre landfill and from the active 20-acre landfill. The collected gas is conveyed to the City's existing water pollution control facility via a 2-mile compressed gas pipeline and is used to operate the sludge incinerator. Excess gas not used for sludge incineration is sent to a flare at the landfill site.

Ontario County Landfill

B&L completed the final design of a leachate recirculation system for a 13-acre section of the active 2,000-ton-per-day Subtitle D landfill. The existing leachate pump station was retrofitted to accommodate the recirculation system. B&L also designed the active landfill gas collection system for the facility which incorporates both horizontal and vertical collection techniques. The collection system draws over 2,000 cfm of gas to an on-site landfill gas to energy plant which generates more than 5.6 MW of electricity.
