This CDD area will have a disposal capacity of 6,140,000 cubic yards. 2. Design modifications to the liner, leachate collection, final cover system, storm water management system, and landfill gas collection and control system to accommodate the new permitted CDD disposal unit; and 3. Revisions to the groundwater monitoring system including a new Groundwater Monitoring Plan. The comment period runs from May 28 through July 14, 2020.
