ACUA is installing a temporary cap to cover approximately 30 acres of landfill space.
The temporary cap will prevent gas from escaping the sides of the landfill and direct it towards the existing gas collection systems. It will also keep water from infiltrating the landfill, which will reduce the overall production of gas as well as prevent the accumulation of leachate along the side slopes – all actions that will decrease odors.

The project will take roughly 3 months to complete and will cost approximately $2 million.
