Update on Recent Activities at APAC-Reno
Week ending January 28, 2006
- Welding on the piping for the APAC-Reno landfill gas collection
system has begun this week to connect the landfill gas wells.
Approximately 2000 ft. of 6 inch line was completed. The vacuum blower
is to be delivered about 2/11/06. The trenching for the gas lines will
begin Monday.
- APAC continues to treat contact fill water drained into the lower
east pond with caustic and hydrogen peroxide liquid. APAC and their
consultant have met with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment
(KDHE) Bureau of Water (BOW) and other KDHE representatives to discuss
revising their water discharge permit. The BOW will advise them on
effluent standards for discharge of contact water.
- The appropriate H2S monitors have been installed inside the
landfill boundaries and are operating. A telemetry system for detecting
high H2S levels with alarm notification should be online in early
February. Perimeter air monitors continue operation with periodic
downloads by Environmental Department (JCED) staff.
- All intermediate cover should be in place by Monday, 1/30/06.
- The hydrogeologic investigation report has been submitted
including the final analysis on groundwater wells. The report is under
review by JCED and KDHE. Preliminary review of the report field data
shows no evidence of offsite groundwater contamination from the landfill
waste mass.
