PROJECTS LANDFILL GAS

RECOLOGY PACHECO PASS LANDFILL

Project Location: Gilroy, California WSP has provided Recology with a broad range of engineering and environmental services that include: Landfill Gas Flare Replacement: Most recently, WSP provided engineering support services for the design and construction of an enclosed flare replacement project. WSP developed the design and specifications to decommission the existing flare and install a smaller enclosed flare due to decreasing methane production at the closed landfill. WSP managed the permitting process for installation, including obtaining Authority to Construct from the BAAQMD and approvals from the Santa Clara County Department of Planning and Development. Additionally, WSP conducted engineering reviews of the contractor’s work and responded to requests for information during the construction phase. Upon completion of the flare installation, WSP assisted in obtaining the Permit to Operate from the BAAQMD.

Environmental Monitoring: Since 1997, WSP has been responsible for environmental monitoring and reporting for Recology Pacheco Pass. This includes conducting sampling and analysis, onsite monitoring, and report preparation related to the landfill’s gas, leachate, and groundwater monitoring systems at the Pacheco Pass Landfill. Landfill Gas System Operation and Maintenance: WSP provides services for the landfill gas collection and control systems, including routine maintenance, monitoring, and compliance management. This work includes responding to alarm system callouts, performing periodic minor repairs on condensate sump components, laterals, headers, extraction wells, and leachate pump replacements/repairs. Additionally, WSP assists Recology with scoping and budgeting for recommended improvements or parts and materials.
