Lake LF

As of 1993, Lake LF has approximately 15,786,494 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 15,786,502 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 100% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 657,771 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 1993.

Lake LF has an operational landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) project using a Gas Turbine system. The facility generates approximately 1.6 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of landfill gas, of which approximately 1.3 mmscfd is actively collected. The landfill gas contains approximately 52.7% methane content. The gas collection system includes 100 extraction wells. This type of project converts waste-generated methane into usable electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while generating renewable energy for the local grid.
