With more than 30 years of project experience in hazardous, industrial, and municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill design, the Locus team has developed a unique approach to landfill closures. Locus has successfully completed closure and remediation of landfills and hazardous waste sites that were placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) programs or other state or local government programs. Our experience covers municipal and industrial landfill, maintenance, monitoring, and closures under federal (RCRA-Subtitle D) and state solid and residual waste regulations. We have also designed and constructed above and below ground containment structures, such as cut-off walls, and engineered closure covers.
Locus works closely with our clients and with the regulatory agencies in developing cost-effective liner and cover systems designs that include alternative designs and materials that reduce overall material and construction costs. Locus' landfill closure and remediation services include:
- Remedial investigations (RIs)
- Closure alternative studies
- Closure design/plans and implementation
- Engineering analysis, such as settlement and slope stability
- Construction management services
- Landfill gas monitoring and management
For landfills with ongoing maintenance and monitoring requirements, our full-service capabilities and experience in the following areas have benefited a variety of owners and operators faced with changing regulatory requirements. Locus personnel have direct experience with maintenance and monitoring of the following:
- Landfill liner and final cover systems
- Leachate management systems
- Methane gas management systems
