Description:
Bioreactor field demonstration projects are underway at the Outer Loop Landfill, Louisville, KY. The research effort is a cooperative research effort between USEPA and Waste Management, Inc. Two primary kinds of municipal waste bioreactors are under study at this site. First, new twin landfill cells are being constructed with the express purose of being operated as sequential bioreactors. At a different location on the site, a filled cell will be converted to an operating landfill bioreactor. Both sites are suppored statistically by a negative control where waste is disposed in a conventional manner.
