Site Suitability for the C&DLF was approved September 28, 2001 (FID 12714); this C&DLF unit
encompasses approximately 12.6-acre waste footprint and consists of five phases – Phases1
through Phase 5. The approved gross capacity of the C&DLF is 775,038 cubic yards (FID 1088805). On June 1, 2006, the constructed Phase 1 started receiving wastes under the Solid Waste Management Permit Number 6804-CDLF-2005.
The June 2012 permit amendment application included a 1.9% increase of the approved landfill
gross capacity of 775,038 cubic yard (DIN 16701). The overall height of the landfill increased
by 11 feet (up to 604 feet amsl), and the side slopes of the landfill were increased from 4:1 to
3.5:1 slopes, which resulted in the new gross capacity of the C&DLF of approximately 790,000 cubic yard (CY). Gross capacity is defined as the volume of the landfill calculated from the elevation of the initial waste placement through the top of the final cover, including daily cover.
