Project Case Study Landfill Construction

Project Details

The Bivens landfill was constructed to serve the needs of a large scale CCR basin excavation that occurred over a 5 year time period. The pond excavation exceeded 5M tons of CCR material, requiring multiple phases of landfill construction and closure. As a result of the plant decreasing production and the impending plant closure, the closure process was initiated prior to the last cell reaching final grade. A final closure design was initiated with consultation from engineering firms, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, and utility representatives.
