Proposed Reuse
Introduction The following section provides details on the proposed reuse of the facility.
Rehabilitation/ The project will consist of the following construction/rehabilitation
new components:
construction
Demolition/disposal of the existing transfer station and incinerator stack.
Movement of exterior waste materials onto the footprint of the proposed
landfill closure area.
r Removal of approximately 5,000 cubic yards of C&D from within the
immediate area surrounding the culvert through Forest River.
Installation of gas and groundwater monitoring wells

Construction and operation of a new state-of-the-art transfer station
facility
Compatibility The following is a summary of the compatibility of the use of the site as a
transfer station:

proposed
Closing the currently unclosed landfill
Removing waste materials from within the wetlands
Visually, the closure of the landfill and replacement of the current transfer
station with a new, state-of-the-art facility will be a significant
improvement.
