Northern SLF

As of 2009, Northern SLF has approximately 528,676 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 2,207,637 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 24% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 9,145 tons of waste per year based on the most recent annual data. At the current rate of fill, the facility is projected to reach capacity and close around 2043.

Northern SLF has an LFG energy project with a current status of 'Future Potential'. Landfill gas recovery projects capture methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and in many cases generating electricity or other usable energy.

Northern SLF currently covers approximately 43 acres with a depth of approximately 15 feet. The facility opened in 1988 and has been in continuous operation since then. The design specifications call for a total area of 65 acres. The size of a landfill reflects both its operational history and the volume of waste it has processed over its lifetime of service to the surrounding community.

Northern SLF has an active landfill gas (LFG) collection system in place. The gas contains approximately 50% methane, which can be captured for energy generation. Flares are in place at this facility. LFG collection reduces greenhouse gas emissions and, in some cases, generates renewable energy for the grid.

Northern SLF participates in the following environmental programs: an LFG energy project with status 'Future Potential' is associated with this site. These initiatives help reduce the environmental footprint of landfill operations by capturing resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and diverting material from direct disposal. Contact the facility or its operator for more details on current environmental compliance status.
