We remain committed to the continued evaluation and deployment of additional mitigation and control measures to mitigate offsite odors. Waste Management remains vigilant in our evaluation and implementation of the best management practices and technology to enhance operations.
Deployment of approximately 9 acres of exposed geomembrane was constructed over Cell 12 to mitigate offsite odors. The Southside Odor Control System was also completed. A water/vapor-based perimeter odor control system was fixed on the litter fencing to help mitigate offsite odors.
Cell 13A (a 11.2 acres plot) was completed as well.
High Acres manages landfill gas via two renewable energy facilities: 2 full-enclosed flare and 1 open flare. Combusting over 8,000 scfm of landfill gas, landfill gas combustion occurs 24 hours per day, 7 days/week. From time to time the flares are taken offline for maintenance.
