Municipal Waste Landfill
Pennsylvania
Taylor GeoServices (TGS) provides professional services and project support in a variety of areas of municipal, industrial and hazardous waste landfill development and operation. We provide services in support of other firms or as a standalone company, offering a proven track record for site selection and design, permitting and daily operations.
Specifically these services have included initial characterization and suitability assessment of the site for development as a 150 acre municipal solid waste disposal facility. More recently TGS staff has also provided geologic and hydrogeologic services associated with gaining the recently approved 134 acre expansion permit for the facility.
The work associated with the permitting has included the drilling of more than 150 test borings, down-hole geophysical logging of most borings, installation of multiple background characterization and permanent facility monitoring wells, installation of over 100 multilevel nested piezometers, and the conduct of several long duration aquifer pumping tests including one that required 14 days of continuous pumping and the electronic monitoring of groundwater levels in 50 separate installations.
TGS also provides ongoing environmental compliance monitoring and data tracking for the facility along with waste acceptance tracking, water supply permitting and other daily operations assistance.
TGS worked with a multi-member team to implement an approved aquifer permeability enhancement project at Conestoga. The scope of this project required the drilling of additional test borings including angle core borings, followed by discrete hydraulic
