|
||
T&L has been working continuously with Wise County (County) on numerous solid waste management
|
||
issues since the late 1980's. A very brief summary of T&L's assistance over the past twenty eight (28)
|
||
years is as follows:
|
||
|
||
1. Solid Waste Master Planning Assistance (1988-present). Planning has been ongoing from the beginning
|
||
and continues to the present, however, some of the notable planning efforts include:
|
||
|
||
a. Landfill Master Plan. In 1991, T&L developed a Master Plan for Landfill development. This Master Plan
|
||
established a phasing plan that has been followed for the past twenty three (23) years. The Master Plan
|
||
established a 48.7 acre footprint for the landfill developed in five (5) separate phases, some of which
|
||
have been subdivided. The estimated costs and life expectancies associated with this Master Plan were
|
||
projected, This Master Plan has been followed consistently as the landfill has been expanded through the
|
||
years.
|
||
|
||
b. Development of Landfill Alternatives. On multiple occasions, but more
|
||
specifically in 1998, 2004, and 2010, T&L evaluated many different solid waste
|
||
disposal alternatives for the County as major decision points approached.
|
||
This exercise typically occurred as the County was considering implementing
|
||
another phase of landfill expansion, These alternatives generally included:
|
||
|
||
i. Continuation of County Landfill Operations;
|
||
ii, Development of a Transfer Station; and
|
||
ili, Regionalizing the Landfill
|
||
|
||
c. Financial Analy: Working in concert with the Landfill Committee and
|
||
County Staff, T&L developed detailed financial models for each alternative
|
||
under consideration. These models provided current and future costs for debt
|
||
service, equipment capitalization, closure sinking fund, post closure sinking
|
||
fund, and landfill operations. Revenues were projected to arrive at an annual
|
||
net cost from which a cost per ton was calculated using the annual solid
|
||
waste tonnages. The models were developed for the estimated life cycles of | Phase | Construction
|
||
the landfill under each alternative.
|
||
|
||
2. Landfill Expansion Projects (1989-2014). T&L has provided design, permitting, bidding, construction
|
||
contract administration services, resident project representation, quality assurance/quality control (@A/
|
||
QC), and certification documentation for Wise County on five (5) separate landfill expansions. Each
|
||
project consisted of the installation of a base landfill liner system (with leachate collection system),
|
||
gravity sewer connection to the existing leachate collection and pumping system, gas probe wells, access
|
||
road improvements, storm drainage improvements, erosion and sediment control, and other associated
|
||
items, Some of the other notable features on each of these five (5) projects include:
|
||
|
||
a. Phase!
|
||
i, Year: 1990
|
||
ii, Size: 94 acres
|
||
iil, Landfill Design: Double Synthetic
|
||
Iv, Notable Features: Working closely with Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
|
||
(formerly Department of Waste Management) staff during the development of the state's new
|
||
and more stringent solid waste regulations, T&Land Wise County successfully designed, permitted,
|
||
constructed, and placed into operation (July 1, 1990) the first publicly owned and operated landfill
|
||
in Virginia to receive such a permit under the 1988 DEG Regulations. The construction phase of the
|
||
project was completed in only 58 days , thereby enabling Wise County to meet a closure deadline
|
||
at its old landfill site (Appalachia Landfill).

|
||
3. Vertical Landfill Expansions
|
||
|
||
nce/Highwall Liner Design. Development of the Wise County Landfill hinged on the approval
|
||
of a variance to the Solid Waste Management Regulations relative to landfill liner design. The variance
|
||
resulted in Wise County being allowed to install a single synthetic liner adjacent to a near vertical (90
|
||
degree) highwall, which was created by previous surface coal mining at the landfill site. The variance
|
||
was granted based on T&L's ability to design an acceptable innovative alternative that complies with
|
||
the provisions of the DEG Regulations for bottom and side slope surfaces with the exception of the near
|
||
vertical highwall. The net result is a substantial monetary savings to Wise County as the life expectancy
|
||
of the site has been significantly increased.

|
||
|
||
b. Vertical Expansions. Throughout the life of the landfill, T&L has provided design, bidding, and construction
|
||
contract administration for the several vertical expansions along the highwall in accordance with the
|
||
approved variance and associated highwall liner design.
|
||
|
||
4, Landfill Engineering/Mining Demonstration
|
||
forLandfill Stability. T&l assisted Wise County
|
||
with the development of an engineering
|
||
demonstration to enable the full use of the
|
||
landfill footprint theory setting the table
|
||
to maximize the life expectancy of the site,
|
||
During permitting of the landfill, DEQimposed
|
||
2 100 foot set back from the Clintwood Mine,
|
||
which is located 400 feet beneath Phases IV
|
||
and V of the landfill footprint. Adherence to
|
||
this regulatory requirement would reduce the
|
||
remaining life expectancy of the landfill by 12.5,
|
||
years. Additionally, the cost of closure would
|
||
be significantly higher due to an inability to
|
||
reclaim adjacent surface mining highwalls.
|
||
T&L, in conjunction with Schnabel Engineering
|
||
and Dr. Michael Karmis, developed a surface
|
||
deformation model that predicted resulting
|
||
strains and settlement in the landfill under
|
||
worst case earthquake conditions. This Phase VB -Construction Complete - 2013
|
||
data was then assessed to develop an
|
||
|
||
engineered solution for the liner system in
|
||
the improved areas within Phases IV and V. Due to predicted strains, T&L recommended that the use of
|
||
a Geocomposite Liner System (GCL) in central areas of the Phases IV and V. This cost effective solution
|
||
enabled full use of the landfill Footprint and eased closeout costs by accounting landfill development to
|
||
provide highwall reclamation,
|
||
|
||
5, Other Services. In addition to the services listed above, T&L has provided engineering services including,
|
||
but not limited to, the following:
|
||
«. DEQ Regulatory Compliance with Ongoing Monitoring Programs involving Groundwater Monitoring,
|
||
Gas Monitoring, and stormwater monitoring
|
||
b. Evaluation and procurement of daily cover
|
||
c. Minor Permit Modifications for alternative daily cover materials, tire shredder, and other matters
|
||
as needed
|
||
d. Closure cost estimates for use by Wise County for Financial Assurance documentation
|
||
e. Life expectancy and compaction studies
|

T&L has been working with Tazewell
|
||
County (County) on numerous solid
|
||
waste management issues since 2005.
|
||
By virtue of this experience, T&L has an
|
||
extensive knowledge and understanding
|
||
of the County's solid waste management
|
||
facilities. This provides value added to the
|
||
County, cost effectiveness as our services
|

are provided, and uniquely qualifies T&L to
|
||
provide planning and design ser
|
||
|
||
the course of the next five (5) years. A brief
|
||
summary of T&l’s assistance over the past
|
||
nine (9) years is as follows:

|
||
|
||
Development of Landfill Alternatives. T&L evaluated three (3) solid waste disposal alternatives
|
||
for the County including:
|
||
|
||
i. Alternative 1 (Continuation of County Landfill Operations);
|
||
|
||
li, Alternative 2 (Privatize the Landfill); and
|
||
Alternative 3 (Regionalizing the Landfill with Cumberland Plateau)
|
||
|
||
Financial Analysis. Working in concert with the Landfill Committee and County staff, T&L
|
||
developed detailed financial models for each of the above alternatives. These models provided
|
||
current and future costs for debt service, equipment capitalization, closure sinking fund, post
|
||
closure sinking fund, and landfill operations. Revenues were projected to arrive at an annual
|
||
net cost from which a cost per ton was calculated using the annual solid waste tonnages. The
|
||
models were developed for the estimated life cycle of the landfill under each alternative.
|
||
|
||
Evalvation of Privatization Proposal (2005-2006). Tazewell County received a proposal
|
||
from a private company desiring to capitalize future landfill infrastructure and operate the
|
||
landfill on a long term basis. In conjunction with the Landfill Committee and County staff, T&L
|
||
provided input to assist the County as the proposal was considered. Numerous issues were
|
||
considered such as disposal costs, annual CPI adjustments, host fees from approved outside

waste streams, County rates (with and without approved outside waste streams), contractual
|
||
terms (life of agreement), bonds and surety, environmental liabilities, insurance, staffing, etc.
|
||
|
||
d. Evaluation of Regional Partnerships with Localities (2006-2008). In an effort to increase
|
||
revenues, regionalize the landfill, and reduce overall costs, Tazewell County considered the
|
||
possibility of developing a ‘government to government’ Agreement with the nearby local
|
||
governments. T&L assisted the County with this process through meeting with the local
|
||
government representatives, developing pricing structures and terms for transportation
|
||
and disposal services, evaluating potential contractual arrangements, consideration of DEQ
|
||
Permit Modifications, evaluation of special wastes, and other pertinent issues.
|
||
|
||
‘Compliance with Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Regulations (2006-2014). T&L
|
||
has assisted the County on several matters involving landfill disposal and permitting issues with
|
||
the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). In doing so, T&L has established an excellent
|
||
working relationship with the Abingdon Regional Office of DEQ on the Tazewell County Landfill.
|
||
Some of these issues include:
|
||
|
||
a. Letter Agreement between Tazewell County and DEG (August 14, 2006). T&L assisted Tazewell
|
||
County with negotiations and the development of action plans in response to a Notice of
|
||
Violation (NOV) from DEQ, dated May 16, 2006. This NOV had a significant impact on the
|
||
future landfilling potential at the Tazewell County Landfill. The NOV involved alleged disposal
|
||
of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and asbestos beyond permitted boundaries in the 1980's.
|
||
Following weeks of negotiations, a Letter Agreement was reached between Tazewell County
|
||
and DEG that:
|
||
|
||
= Avoided fines;
|
||
+ Avoided Consent Orders; and
|
||
+ Resulted in a Letter Agreement with a Plan of Action
|
||
|
||
The Letter Agreement was reached because of research by T&L and Tazewell County, which
|
||
revealed that MSW and asbestos disposal areas were in fact outside of permit #116 (original
|
||
permit for the landfill), but within permitted areas covered by #488, which was issued in 1985.
|
||
These MSW and asbestos areas had been previously closed prior to 1988 DEG Solid Waste
|
||
Regulations. However, this area was subsequently included for future landfilling areas under
|
||
permit #564, which issued in the early 1990s.

|
||
|
||
The Letter of Agreement executed between DEQ and Tazewell County required significant
|
||
revisions of the earlier closure plan and a permit modification for the reconfiguration of Landfill
|
||
Phase IV. Development of Phase IV, as originally permitted under permit #564, necessitated
|
||
setbacks from the closed MSW and asbestos disposal areas and removal of 150,000 cubic
|
||
yards of unsuitable soil material previously placed in the disposal area (likely waste material
|
||
from the excavation of Phases | II, and III).
|
||
|
||
b. Revised Closure Plat (2006). In response to the Letter Agreement, T&L developed a revised plat
|
||
as required by DEG for the actual landfill boundaries and location of the MSW and asbestos
|
||
|
||
disposal areas.
|
||
|
||
c. Phase IV Permit Modification (2007-2008). T&L provided DEQ with the required permit
|
||
modification documents for the reconfiguration of Phase IV. Through successful negotiation,
|
||
this was accomplished by subdivision of the Phase IV landfill disposal area into Phase IVA and
|
||
Phase IVB plus a reconfiguration of Phase IVB (excluding former MSW and asbestos areas).
|
||
While development of Phase IVB was complicated by the presence of 150,000 cubic yards of
|
||
unacceptable soil material, it was still covered by modified permit #564. Ultimately, T&L was
|
||
able to successfully preserve most of the original Phase IV area and avoided the submission
|
||
of a major permit modification (DEQ allowed the permit to be modified by a minor permit
|
||
modification).
|
||
|
||
d. Liner Tear (2012-2013). T&L assisted the County in the identification of an inadvertent liner tear
|
||
adjacent to an anchor trench, review and approval of the situation with DEG, development of
|
||
an alternative access point into the landfill, procurement of a Contractor, and inspection of
|
||
the construction,
|
||
|
||
3. Life Expectancy Study (2006-2007). At the request of Tazewell County, T&L conducted a life
|
||
‘expectancy study of the landfill to determine the remaining life expectancy of active landfill Phases
|
||
|, Il, and Ill and the projected life expectancy of reconfigured landfill Phase IVA. The study showed.
|
||
that while the existing landfill theoretically had five (5) years! worth of life remaining, Phase IVA
|
||
needed to be constructed for operational, cost, and marketing reasons. Development of Phase
|
||
IVA improved site access, improved leachate management, enhanced the marketability of the
|
||
landfill for acceptance of local solid waste streams, and added an additional estimated seven (7)
|
||
years to the life of the landfill.

Phase IVA Landfill Expansion (2007-2009). At the request of Tazewell County, T&L provided
|
||
updated designs, permitting, bidding, construction contract administration, construction testing,
|
||
and certifications to DEQ for the construction of Phase IVA of the landfill. The 5.1 acre project was
|
||
awarded to and constructed by A&A Energy, Inc., of Welch, West Virginia at a cost of $1.193 Million,
|
||
well within budget.
|
||
|
||
Clay Liner Study (2007-2008). Since area on and adjacent to the landfill property did not meet
|
||
DEG requirements for clay liner material, T&L assisted the County with the assessment of several
|
||
alternative borrow sites for use as an acceptable source for clay liner material. An acceptable site
|
||
was found and the clay material was used with the Phase IVA landfill construction.
|
||
|
||
Phase V - Part A Permit (2009-2010). Given the impact of the issues stemming from the Letter
|
||
Agreementand permit modification as noted herein, and the likely presence of significant quantities
|
||
of waste soil material in Phase IVB, T&L and Tazewell County determined that development of
|
||
Phase IVB, while still under permit, presented certain challenges that warranted a shift in the
|
||
developmental sequencing of the landfill. This shift involved the development of a new permitted
|
||
area (Phase V) to the west of the active landfill area. T&L worked closely with the County to
|
||
use the Phase V area as a source of daily cover material, with grading conducted in a controlled
|
||
manner to match future anticipated grades for the Phase V landfill expansion area. T&L developed
|
||
the necessary permit documents including notices of intent, key maps, vicinity maps depicting all
|
||
required features, property control documentation, hydrologic and geotechnical reports developed
|
||
by Schnabel Engineering Associates, and other required documentation.
|
||
|
||
Tazewell County Landfill Gas Development, LLC, (2012-2014). T&L provided Project Management,
|
||
civil engineering design support, and construction contract administration, and periodic inspection
|
||
‘on the recent landfill gas collection and blower flare station project at the landfill (Design of Gas
|
||
System was by Draper Aden Associates as a subconsultant to T&L and the contractor was SCS).

®LITTON Si Waste Management Program
|
||
|
||
Background: T&L. provided engineering consulting services for the City of Bristol on many important solid
|
||
waste management issues. T&L acted as the overall program manager for the City for a number of
|
||
years, given the interrelationship between the program elements and the required engineering services
|
||
necessary to keep the City in compliance with the Solid Waste Management Regulations as promulgated
|
||
by DEG and EPA, T&L has also provided services to help prolong the life of the facilities currently in use
|
||
by the City. A basic summary of these services includes:
|
||
|
||
+ Project Team Approach. T&L assembled a team of engineers to meet the City's needs on an
|
||
immediate basis.
|
||
|
||
+ Landfill Closure Plan for the existing landfill.
|
||
1g Plan and statistical analysis for the existing landfill.
|
||
|
||
+ Groundwater Mor
|
||
+ Leachate Management Program including design and construction of a major pumping station.
|
||
+ Life Expectancy Enhancement Program.
|
||
|
||
+ Permit Modifications for minor operational changes.
|
||
|
||
+ Construction Management Services for the development of leachate systems and other required
|
||
facilities such as stability, berms, scales, etc. These services have consisted of advertising and bidding,
|
||
construction administration, geotechnical testing, resident project inspection, and certification to
|
||
the DEQ.
|
||
|
||
While many other levels of service had been provided over time to the City, the above listing generally
|
||
covers the major areas of focus.
|
||
|
||
Innovative Approach: The City of Bristol was involved in the development of an integrated solid waste
|
||
management program to address the City’s needs for the next fifty years or more. One of the critical
|
||
elements of the program involved the permitting of an abandoned rock quarry as a new landfill site. While
|
||
the City was pursuing permitting of the quarry site with another engineering team, T&L assisted the City
|
||
in developing methods to extend the life of the existing landfill (Permit #498) so disposal activities could
|
||
continue while the quarry was permitted and constructed. This issue was especially important since
|
||
the City was accepting solid waste from other jurisdictions to generate income and the existing landfill
|
||
(Permit #498) had a limited spaced and footprint at the time.
|
||
|
||
T&L has made an impact on the life expectancy and capacity of the landfill site. Major areas of focus have
|
||
included the following:
|
||
|
||
+ The City's existing landfill consisted of sanitary and debris landfills that were permitted as separate
|
||
facilities. The nature of the permitting prohibited any mixing of the waste types. Also, the two
|
||
footprints were not allowed to overlap in any fashion. Therefore, the life expectancy of the site was
|
||
very much limited. T&L was able to obtain a minor permit modification from the DEQ to consolidate
|
||
the two landfills into a single and combined operation. This enabled the City to "bridge the gap" and
|
||
take advantage of much air space that was otherwise unavailable.
|
||
|
||
+ T&L obtained the necessary permits from the DEQ to enable the City to operate an incinerator for
|
||
wood waste products thereby avoiding the burial of bulky, space consuming, and non-compatible
|
||
wood wastes.
|
||
|
||
+ T&L obtained the necessary regulatory permits to enable the City to integrate the utilization of a
|
||
synthetic daily cover into the landfill operation in lieu of cover dirt. This saved the City space and the
|
||
cost of hauling dirt.

|

|
||
+ T&L and the City worked together to develop an innovative landfill reclamation program at the
|
||
existing site. This involved interaction with the DEG, development of an Operation Plan, and securing
|
||
the equipment necessary to conduct the operation. The City initiated landfill reclamation activities
|
||
on the existing landfill site which includes the excavation or mining of solid waste, screening of the
|
||
excavated waste to remove salvageable materials and cover soil, and placement of the remaining
|
||
waste back into the landfill. This operation increased the landfill volume available for the disposal
|
||
of solid waste, and subsequently, increased the life expectancy of the facility. Moreover, the removal
|
||
of dirt from the facility avoided the need to bring in additional material for intermediate cover.
|
||
Also, future closure costs were reduced since reclaimed soil could be integrated into the capping
|
||
operations,

T&L provided design-build services for the permitting, design and construction of Area C, which was
|
||
completed in January 2073. During the course of construction for Area C it became evident to the NRRA
|
||
that a Development Plan for the Waste Management Facility should be prepared to assist them with
|
||
their planning efforts for the next 40-50 years. In order to help facilitate this process, the NRRA retained
|
||
T&L in April 2013 to prepare a Development Plan for the expansion of landfilling operations within the
|
||
remaining 358.2 acres of the facility. Highlights of the Development Plan include the following:
|
||
|
||
+ Developed a revised Base Grading design for the nearly 50 acres of disposal area, currently permitted
|
||
|
||
as Area D.
|
||
|
||
+ Developed a revised Closure Plan design for the areas currently permitted as Area C and D.
|
||
|
||
+ Developed a preliminary Base Grade and Closure Plan design for a new waste disposal unit
|
||
comprised of six (6) areas with a total area of 110.88 acres located to the southwest of the active
|
||
|
||
disposal area.
|
||
|
||
A project kick-off meeting for Part 8 Permit Amendment project was held in January 2014. In order
|
||
to facilitate amendment.process, the NRRA took a phased approach with the first phase of that work
|
||
consisting of the performance of the necessary due diligence and coordination with the Department
|
||
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to determine their requirements to proceed with the amendment to
|
||
the permitted design documents for the NRRA Solid Waste Management Facility. As part of the due
|
||
dilligence phase, T&L performed the following services:
|
||
|
||
T&L. performed a site evaluation including the following:
|
||
+ Subsurface exploration (borings, water observation wells, rock coring);
|
||
+ Field services (site reconnaissance and logging the subsurface exploration) laboratory testing; and
|
||
|
||

(Continued)
|
||
|
||
‘At the completion of the due diligence phase, T&L prepared a notice of intent letter and issued documents
|
||
to DEQ for their review. In concert with the preliminary submittal, T&L attended a pre-application meeting
|
||
with the NRRA and DEG in June 2014 to discuss the proposed amendment and obtain DEQ guidance
|
||
for the permit amendment requirements. At the conclusion of the pre-application meeting, the NRRA
|
||
decided to move forward with modifying their existing Part B permit. The second phase of the permit
|
||
modification process involved the development and submittal to VDEG of the necessary components of
|
||
the Part B permit modification, as outlined by VDEG, and was completed in two (2) subsequent phases
|
||
consisting of Phase IIA and Phase IIB. The Major Part B Amendment was submitted to DEQ in August of
|
||
2016.
|
||
|
||
The Following provides a summary of the proposed permit amendments:
|
||
|
||
Revision to Area D consisting of Revised Areas D, E and F with each area consisting of two (2) to three (3)
|
||
cells. This revision allowed the NRRA to continue current operations in the most efficient manner consisting
|
||
of the construction of solid waste disposal areas in a west to east pattern and filling of cells in a north to
|
||
south direction. This revision also allowed the NRRA the most flexibility and consistent operations with
|
||
regards to phased construction, stormwater management, cell closure and traffic control. The Revised
|
||
Areas are summarized in the table below:
|
||
|
||
Proposed Areas Proposed Area (Acreage)
|
||
Area D 16.15
|
||
Area E 16.23
|
||
‘Area F 12.27
|
||
Total (Areas D, E, and F) 48.65
|
||
|
||
Revision to the overall Area D waste disposal boundary to accommodate the aforementioned layout of
|
||
Areas D, E and F. The intent of this proposed revision was to improve the perimeter access road by
|
||
increasing the minimum turning radii from 0 to 300 and lowering the maximum percent grade from
|
||
7.22 to 4.00. The revision also allowed the continued construction of crossover roads which assist in
|
||
operations at the facility.
|
||
|
||
Areduction of the base grades to the proposed Areas D, E and F from 1997 feet to 1989 feet.
|
||
|
||
The final grade for Areas D, E and F and the remaining portions of Areas A, B and C that have not
|
||
been closed were revised to incorporate the use of tack on berms in lieu of the terrace system utilized
|
||
in past partial closures. The tack on berms will divert runoff from the closure cap to a series of inlets
|
||
‘and down chutes which will convey stormwater off of the cap in more efficient manner than the terrace
|
||
system. Additionally the revision incorporated intermediate closure cap geocomposite discharge drains.
|
||
This revision will reduce the potential for a cap failure by reducing the infiltration of stormwater into the
|
||
closure cap soils and by allowing the closure cap geocomposite to drain more efficiently.
|
||
|
||
Revision to the Leachate Management Plan to utilize a side slope riser for Area F.
|
||
|
||
The aforementioned revisions resulted in a reduction of earthwork by approximately 830,219 cubic yards
|
||
and an increase in capacity of approximately 2,120,333 cubic yards for the overall facility. Additionally,
|
||
the aforementioned revisions will add approximately 8.57 years to the life of the facility based on current
|
||
lisposal rates,

designated for landfilling purposes.
|
||
|
||
Services requested by the owner were for basic designs
|
||
and documents to close and cap approximately 10 acres
|
||
within the southern portion of the total 24.7 acres of Area
|
||
A within the 552 Acre Regional Solid Waste Facility. The

&LITTON %: West Fork Stream Mitigation
|
||
|
||
The New River Resource Authority (NRRA) identified and entered into a purchase agreement for a
|
||
property in Floyd County, Virginia, known as the Orr Property, consisting of approximately 108 acres
|
||
located on Ambrose Park Road in Floyd County. Based upon communication with the United States Army
|
||
Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEG) the site was
|
||
evaluated and affirmed as a compensatory mitigation site required to mitigate impacts at the NRRA
|
||
Cloyd's Mountain Landfill Phase | site located in Dublin, Virginia, As a result, the NRRA retained T&L in
|
||
collaboration with 3e and River Works Restoration Inc., to move forward with the design and construction
|
||
of the project via the designer-led design build delivery method. T&L subsequently completed the following
|
||
tasks:
|
||
+ Boundary survey for purchase of the property;
|
||
Conceptual design of the property for use as a compensatory wetland and stream mitigation site;
|
||
+ Preparation of construction documents;
|
||
+ Permitting of the project with the USACE and VDEG;
|
||
+ Project construction; and
|
||
Preparation of as-built drawings.
|
||
|
||
The compensatory mitigation site consisted of the creation of approximately:
|
||
|
||
+ 0.5 acres forested wetlands;
|
||
|
||
+ 0.2acres shrub scrub wetlands;
|
||
|
||
+ 2.0 acres emergent wetlands;
|
||
|
||
+ 3.2 acres of wetlands; and
|
||
|
||
+ 10,140 stream credits including buffer enhancement and preservation.
|
||
|
||
The project was completed in February 2018 for a total cost of approximately $1.07 Million. This project.
|
||
is a prime example of the benefits of the designer-led design build delivery method ultimately saving the
|
||
NRRA significant time during construction (180-day construction phase) along with over $1.0 Million from
|
||
their original estimate for mitigation of the impacts at the Cloyd's Mountain Landfill Phase | site.

&LITTON fi Expansion (Permit #498)
|
||
|
||
T&L was employed by the City to prepare all required engineering plans and specifications for a lateral
|
||
expansion of the existing sanitary landfill. A major permit modification was required to consolidate
|
||
the existing sanitary and debris landfills into a single, combined sanitary landfill operation. This project
|
||
involved the design of liners, leachate collection systems, access roads, groundwater monitoring systems,
|
||
and other related facilities.
|
||
|
||
With the site situated in multiple geologic formations, j.e., shale and limestone, great care was given in
|
||
the placement of groundwater monitoring wells. Since the quality of groundwater can inherently vary
|
||
in multiple geologic settings, and hence impact future statistical analyses, a groundwater monitoring
|
||
system was developed in both the shale and limestone formations. A total of six groundwater monitoring
|
||
wells were installed. T&L's work included characterization of site soils, bedrock contours and groundwater
|

a Part B Application.
|
||
|
||
In conjunction with development of a Part A and Part B Application for

anew landfill site, « groundwater monitoring program was developed
|
||
by T&L. The soils, bedrock contours, and groundwater contours were all
|
||
characterized, and four groundwater monitoring wells were installed.
|
||
Since the site will be regulated by the new federal standards for landfills,
|
||
the groundwater monitoring program was structured around these
|
||
new requirements. A groundwater monitoring plan which addresses
|

vertical expansion, and site maintenance plan. Clays in the vicinity
|
||
of the landfill were found to be unacceptable; therefore, a synthetic

||
capping system was developed. Amendments to the DEG Regulations
|
||
provided for a relaxation of the capping requirements which enabled
|
||
T&L to refocus on clays as a source of material for capping purposes.
|
||
Following an analysis of potential borrow areas, coupled with analysis
|

phase services.
|
||
|
||
As part of a landfill closure plan, T&L developed a hydrogeologic/geologic

|
||
from the Tennessee Valley Authority.
|
||
|
||
The modules were arranged on ballasted frames in groups of 13 modules to a string and three (3) strings
|
||
paralleled to an 8 KW inverter. The modular inverters were then grouped in a set of six inverters per tower
|
||
and further combined for a total of 48K W per inverter pad mounted tower unit. With a total of three
|
||
48 KW inverter pad mounted tower units, and an additional three 8 KW inverters on a single tower, the

||
engineering, planning, and consulting services for the
|
||
development of a Solid Waste Transfer Station within
|
||
the County.
|
||
|
||
The County recognized that the existing landfill was
|

reaching maximum capacity levels and that future
|
||
disposal of solid waste would need to take place at an
|
||
out-of-county landfill. This modification in the County's
|
||
solid waste management program would necessitate
|
||
that a solid waste transfer station be sited, designed,
|
||
permitted, and constructed prior to the developing need.
|
||
|
||
T&L conducted field inspections for six potential sites
|
||
to develop a site selection study, with preliminary
|
||
statements of probable construction costs for the top
|
||
two selections. This included an estimated total annual
|
||
budget, estimated annualized debt service, projected operation cost of the transfer station, estimated
|
||
annual cost of transportation and disposal costs, and funded depreciation. Once a site was selected
|
||
that suited the budget and needs of the county, T&L project team members prepared a final design of

Quality) promulgated a set of comprehensive Solid Waste Management Regulations that changed the
|
||
face of solid waste management in Virginia. For the first time, Virginia imposed regulations on localities
|
||
that required the installation of extensive landfill liner systems, leachate collection systems, groundwater
|
||
monitoring systems, gas management systems and other costly features. EPA subsequently promulgated
|
||
the ‘Subtitle D' Solid Waste Management Regulations, which were similar to Virginia's 1988 Regulations
|
||
(comprehensive and extensive). However, the EPA ‘Subtitle D' Regulations were even more stringent
|
||
than the Virginia Regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations, which were
|
||
subsequently adopted by DEG, became effective on October 9, 1993. The cost impact of compliance with
|
||
the ‘Subtitle D’ Regulations resulted in several Southwest Virginia localities deciding to initiate landfill
|
||
closure and pursue development of solid waste transfer stations with transportation and disposal
|
||
agreements with private waste companies. Due to these regulatory actions, and the decisions of various
|
||
Southwest Virginia localities, T&L sited, designed, and permitted five (5) solid waste transfer stations for
|
||
|
||
six (6) localities.
|
||
|
||
Since that time, Thompson & Litton has provided professional services on various projects for over two
|
||
dozen different solid waste disposal facilities. T&L has assisted each of these landfill clients on a multitude
|
||
of projects arising from new state regulations and EPA regulations governing solid waste management.
|
||
T&L's solid waste management experience has included construction administration/ inspection; new
|
||
landfill design; vertical and lateral landfill expansions; groundwater monitoring programs for existing, new,
|
||
and closed landfills; variance requests; solid waste management plans (including recycling and financing);
|
||
closure and post-closure design; feasibility analyses; landfill siting studies; regionalization studies; solid
|
||
waste management financing; and solid waste transfer station siting studies and design.
|
||
|
||
T&L is prepared to begin work immediately on your projects so that the vision of the County may become
|
||
reality as soon as possible. We have the manpower available to perform the work in an efficient and
|
||
timely manner. We believe that we can determine a realistic schedule and provide for efficient completion
|
||
|
||
of your projects.
|
||
|
||
T&L is currently capable of producing 11,024 man-hours per month. We expect this level of production
|
||
capability to continue throughout 2022, The overalll resources of T&L indicate an availability of man-hours
|
||
that can be expeditiously dedicated to your projects following the identification of the project scope and
|
||
the type of A/E resources required to complete the task at hand.
|
||
|
||
On a regular basis, our project managers and technical department managers review manpower
|
||
availability and project demands. A formal review with Principal oversight is conducted monthly. The goal
|
||
of these reviews is to determine where manpower is needed to keep projects on schedule and to meet
|
||
client needs. These reviews also aid in anticipating future needs such that resources can be allocated
|
||
|
||
accordingly.

|
||
Leachate Management system analysis
|
||
As part of T&L's extensive experience Part B's and/or Major Permit Modification designs, T&L has
|
||
|
||
provided leachate management system analysis utilizing the HELP model to develop leachate flow
|
||
estimates for design of the leachate collection and treatment systems. T&L has designed a number of
|
||
leachate management systems including storage tanks, gravity collection lines, and pump stations/force
|
||
mains. T&L also has designed a number of liner system configurations that minimize leachate generation,
|
||
especially during the initial stages of operation where separation of stormwater from solid waste is
|
||
critical.
|
||
|
||
Landfill gas management system analysis
|
||
T&L has been assisting clients with the development of gas remediation plans as required by DEQ when
|
||
|
||
the regulatory thresholds are exceeded in gas monitoring probes. Whenever practical, T&L takes a
|
||
systematic approach to these problems beginning with efforts for simple passive solutions prior to the
|
||
implementation of more intensive remedies (such as extraction systems). T&L recently assisted a client
|
||
with the development of a gas remediation plan due to high levels of methane in a gas probe adjacent to
|
||
the landfill. Following attempts to intercept the flow of migrating gas from the landfill cell, the probe was
|
||
purged and a stepped up weekly testing program implemented for a ninety (90) day period. Acceptable
|
||
methane levels during the ninety (90) day period allow the client to return to normal quarterly testing and
|
||
monitoring.
