RM of Enterprise No. 142 - Richmound Landfill Decommissioning Project

completed

The project objective is to decommission and reclaim the Landfill of the R.M. of Enterprise No. 142, non-compliant with the best management practices for landfill construction. The Richmound Landfill has a surface area of approximately 10 acres and was permitted to only receive municipal waste during its operation. The Landfill is currently operating as a transfer station. The Decommissioning Plan has been accepted by the Ministry of Environment’s Landfill Section. The scope of the project includes the Environmental Site Assessment Level II and the Corrective Action Plan and implementing the Decommissioning and Reclamation Plan. Decommissioning and Reclamation activities include the design and construction of the final engineered cover, storm water management, installation of monitoring wells, and reclamation activities to ensure it is in conformance with the surrounding lands and the future intended use. The Richmound landfill has been converted in to a transfer station where we will comply with the Permit to Operate. Reclaimed landfill will be owned by the R.M. of Enterprise No. 142 with the intended use of a transfer station. Decommissioning and reclamation of the proposed landfill will attenuate the generation of leachate which in turn increases capacity to reduce soil pollutants in line with the Environmental Quality Outcomes of the Green Infrastructure Stream of the ICIP.
