addition to the disposal cell, these plans will incorporate the previously prepared plans for the
construction of erosion and sediment controls on the landfill and the south pond.
Cell 47 will be designed with a leachate forcemain that will tie into the existing forcemain and a cell
dewatering system.
The plans for Erosion and Sedimentation Control and the South Detention Basin will be incorporated
into the construction package from the Erosion and Sedimentation Control and Detention Basin
construction package prepared in February 2023 and updated with the most recent topography.

construction of erosion and sediment controls on the landfill and the south pond.
Cell 47 will be designed with a leachate forcemain that will tie into the existing forcemain and a cell
dewatering system.
The plans for Erosion and Sedimentation Control and the South Detention Basin will be incorporated
into the construction package from the Erosion and Sedimentation Control and Detention Basin
construction package prepared in February 2023 and updated with the most recent topography.
