Waste Management

Managing waste in concert with natural resources becomes increasingly difficult as existing disposal facilities approach capacity and available land resources diminish. ARM Group engineers and scientists have been successfully addressing 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.

 Landfill Expansion Recently Approved 

On December 7, 2007, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) announced that it had approved an expansion for the Cumberland County Landfill. ARM prepared the landfill design and Phase I and Phase II Permit Applications, including the Harms/Benefits analysis for the expansion, on behalf of North East Waste Services. PADEP approved the Harms/Benefits analysis in August 2007.  The design involves vertical expansion area, piggybacking over an existing landfill area, and a lateral expansion area.  ARM designed a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) Berm to optimize the volume to area geometry and permitted the rechanneling of two streams to make the Project feasible.
