Section Two 27 <br /> Experience <br /> and construction management of a solid waste baling and materials processing (recycling) facility,for Watauga <br /> County,the Cities of Boone and Blowing Rock, and Appalachian State University. The facility manages 200 tons <br /> per day of refuse, as well as all recyclables collected by the region's recycling program. Facility size is 22,000 <br /> square feet, including tipping floor, baling floor, recycling processing area and loading dock. When landfill <br /> expansion plans were terminated,we designed the conversion of the facility to a recycling center and solid <br /> waste transfer station. The conversion made use of an innovative means to implement grade separation at the <br /> formerly single grade building. <br /> Assessment Plan <br /> During expansion planning for the County's landfill/balefill facility, groundwater testing indicated organic <br /> impact to groundwater. Negotiations with the NCDEQ resulted in a phased plan for groundwater impact <br /> analysis and corrective action. Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA)was ultimately chosen as the corrective <br /> action program,following an Assessment of Corrective Measures (ACM). <br /> Landfill Closure CQA <br /> Final closure of the 20-acre facility was completed with Draper Aden Associates providing full-scale construction <br /> management and inspection services. A gas management system was designed into the project. <br /> Groundwater and Gas Management <br /> Draper Aden Associates was tasked with determining the rate, character, and extent of groundwater <br /> contamination and gas migration off-site and into surrounding residential and commercial areas. Migration <br /> of gas has extended into fractured bedrock beneath the facility. Draper Aden Associates is continuing in the <br /> assessment effort,working closely with the state to develop a cost-effective program to alleviate the issue. <br /> Solid Waste Management Program <br /> Springfield Road Landfill <br /> Henrico County,Virginia <br /> Draper Aden Associates has worked with Henrico County on <br /> key components of the Springfield Road Landfill (SRLF) facility <br /> for a total of 18 years, including the past six years.
