As of December 30, Connelly & Associates has finished installing the landfill temperature monitoring system and is in the process of testing the system to ensure accuracy of the data collected.
Sidewall Odor Mitigation System construction (SOMS) continues. To date, the lower horizontal collector for phase 1 work has been completed and two sump risers and two wellhead risers have been installed. Installation of a lower liner for the SOMS is scheduled to be completed in short order, which will allow for the installation of the upper horizontal collector.
The City is accepting bids for Stage 1 of the Landfill Gas System Expansion with contractors’ bids due January 12, 2023.
