Week ending December 5, 2005
APAC-Reno is required by KDHE to remove all water that has come into
contact with the buried waste by 3/21/06. APAC-Reno is evaluating
various wastewater treatment and disposal options to meet this
requirement.
APAC-Reno has installed two more landfill gas wells as part of the
landfill gas collection system. The air quality permit applications will
be submitted to the KDHE Bureau of Air and Radiation in the next two
weeks for their review and approval.
APAC-Reno has finished the drilling and completion of seven
groundwater monitoring wells as part of the hydrogeologic investigation
required by KDHE. They also completed five landfill contact water wells
in the fill area. Each well is required to be surveyed by a licensed
surveyor which will be completed within the next week. Also within the
next week, the groundwater wells will be purged of any water and each
well will be sampled for the water quality and chemical parameters
established by KDHE. Some wells may not have water because the screened
rock intervals have no groundwater.
APAC-Reno has placed clay cover on about 60% of the south end of the
landfill, but was not able to continue this week due to the inclement
weather.
APAC-Reno is designing an facility-wide air monitoring program with
sampling equipment to meet KDHE requirements. The air monitoring program
is expected to be fully implemented in a few weeks. In the meantime,
Johnson County continues with the perimeter air monitoring for hydrogen
sulfide.
