Landfills in Georgia must manage leachate to protect groundwater quality, especially in areas with shallow water tables or nearby surface waters. Landfill gas, primarily methane, is a concern due to its greenhouse gas potential; collection and flaring or energy recovery systems are common mitigation measures. Proximity to communities and traffic from waste hauling are also important environmental and social considerations for this facility.
