Proper leachate management and groundwater monitoring are critical given the site's proximity to local water resources.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a rural area of West Suffield, near the Connecticut River valley. Groundwater protection is a primary concern for landfills in this region due to the sandy soils and shallow aquifers. Leachate management systems must prevent contamination of local water supplies. Additionally, landfill gas generation from decomposing organic matter in C&D waste (e.g., wood) requires monitoring for methane emissions, though C&D landfills typically produce less gas than municipal landfills.
