Landfill Site Reclaimed for Commercial Use as Container Storage Facility

Source

An abandoned 38 acre sanitary landfill approximately 100 feet (31 m) deep was closed, covered, sealed, and converted to a marine container storage and repair facility. An impermeable cover material was developed using crushed miscellaneous base, silt and asphalt emulsion. A large number of field and laboratory permeability tests were performed to verify the material properties. The landfill surface is used to support heavy container movers and two permanent structures. The project shows that landfill property can be reclaimed and put into profitable high demand use while meeting all environmental regulations.
