Waste Management

Managing waste in concert with natural resources becomes increasingly difficult as existing disposal facilities approach capacity and available land resources diminish. ARM's engineers and scientists have successfully addressed waste disposal issues involving solid and hazardous waste disposal for over 25 years. We work closely with municipalities, industries, and waste authorities to incorporate emerging technologies with established practices to maximize site efficiency, minimize waste generation, and remediate impacted areas.

LCSWMA's Frey Farm Borrow Project Takes Shape
In February 2011, the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority (LCSWMA) began construction on the Frey Farm Landfill (FFLF) Parcels 4 and 5 Soil Borrow Project. Read More

Chester County Solid Waste Authority Embarks on First Stage of Multi-Year Area E Expansion Construction Project
Chester County Solid Waste Authority (CCSWA) awarded the first construction contract for its multi-stage, multi-year construction project to expand the Lanchester Landfill. The landfill expansion project, known as "Area E," will include various site preparation activities and infrastructure upgrades to enable the landfill to be expanded. The initial build-out will require three separate stages of construction, taking place over approximately three years, and will involve:

• Construction of sedimentation pond expansions and storm water facilities (Stage 1A) during the 2011 and 2012 construction seasons.
• Modification of leachate, landfill gas, and electrical infrastructure (Stage 1B), to be performed concurrently with Stage 1A activities, during the 2012 construction season.
• Preparatory grading for the mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) berm and Area E Landfill Cell 1 (Stage 1B).
• Relocation of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of waste and cover soil from the unlined Mountain Top Landfill into the active, double-lined Area D Landfill (Stage 1B).
• Construction of the first phase of MSE berm and the new landfill cell expansion of approximately 17.8 acres (Stage 2).
