Leachate or liquid waste collection and treatment system:
Leachate or liquid waste collection and treatment system: this system is comprised of the lechate collection pipes, a submersible pump that automatically discharges leachate into the first of a series of treatment ponds.
Treatment Ponds: Three ponds ( anaerobic, maturation and facultative) lined with geomembrane receive the leachate where it undergoes natural treatment.
The leachate once treated and tested is discharged into the sedimentation area and eventually offsite by way of the storm water system. Prior to the discharge of leachate off site it must meet effluent standards established by the Department of the Environment.
Additionally the landfill facility is equipped with an administrative building, a weigh scale and scale house, mechanic workshop, monitoring wells and a hazardous waste cell.
