Landfill permit and monitoring

Aggregate and construction materials

Creative thinking helps landfill owner avoid costly permit violation and reduces monitoring costs

$400,000

saved in monitoring and well installation costs

Summary

  • To comply with an Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) directive, a construction materials client had to replace five monitor wells that had gone dry within 90 days.
  • We demonstrated that fewer wells and reduced monitoring would be sufficient to observe landfill conditions while still protecting human health and the environment.
  • We also negotiated with the department to get rid of certain monitoring requirements, saving our client money over the life of the permit.
