WM: Who We Are

About Woodland Meadows

Environmental Features

Containment Design

Woodland Meadows utilizes a containment system comprised of a 10-foot natural clay barrier with a two-foot-thick re-compacted clay liner or geo-synthetic clay liner (GCL), a 60-mil high density polyethylene (HDPE) liner, a 16-ounce protective geotextile cushion and a leachate collection system. 

Leachate Collection and Treatment

Leachate is a combination of precipitation mixed with the liquid generated by waste as it decomposes. A majority of leachate is directly discharged to the local sewer system where it is treated at a publicly owned water treatment facility. 

Groundwater Monitoring

The site implements an Environmental Monitoring Program consisting of 26 groundwater monitoring wells, 44 surface water monitoring points, and 355 gas wells. All locations are monitored in accordance with EGLE-approved monitoring plans, and groundwater samples are analyzed by an independent third-party laboratory. Monitoring reports are submitted to EGLE for review.
