The approved documentation described the <br />existing conditions of the final cover, waste characterization and methane production, the proposed <br />project and its potential environmental impacts, the construction procedures and the design features <br />including filling, grading, final cover, paving, drainage, and landfill gas management.

The documentation submitted certifies that the redevelopment will not create a threat to the public <br />health or the environment, and indicates that no enclosed structures or underground utilities are planned to <br />be located over waste disposal areas, and that any waste encountered during the grading process will be <br />removed, characterized and disposed to a permitted facility.
