Cleanup Objectives: Remediate soil and ground water contaminated by 145-acre inactive landfill

Greener Remediation Strategy:

Converts landfill gas (LFG) to electric power for onsite use

• Installed six 70-kW microturbines in 2002 as part of the LFG collection system
• Returns microturbine emissions to the existing gas treatment system to ensure contaminant removal

Results:

• Generates sufficient energy to meet approximately 70% of onsite needs, including remediation systems and long-term O&M
• Saves up to $400,000 each year in grid-supplied electricity expenses

Property End Use: Commercial/industrial operations or open space, pending Superfund close-out
