We are continuing work on containing and controlling additional gas and liquid being created by elevated temperatures within the landfill. Elevated temperature odors are extremely rare in the landfill industry and have never occurred at Stony Hollow in the past.
To address this unusual situation as quickly as possible, Waste Management has engaged outside engineering resources at major universities and private consulting firms to aid in designing and installing engineered solutions to control off site odors and eliminate the conditions that produce them.
