Purpose of the meeting
A Department of Environmental Quality public hearing on a draft permit modification for Shoosmith Sanitary Landfill located in Chesterfield County. Shoosmith Bros, Inc. has applied for a modification to a permit that allows the Shoosmith Sanitary Landfill to operate an existing landfill in Chesterfield, Virginia. This modification incorporates a design for the adjacent quarry to be converted into a disposal area for the landfill. The quarry is identified as Cell 28 and offers a total capacity of approximately 31.9 million cubic yards. The expected life of Cell 28 ranges from 15-19 years depending on future waste intake rate. The design incorporates a vertical liner support system (VLSS) designed to support the liner components oriented vertically on the quarry sidewall vertical element and sidewall benches. The VLSS will be constructed with concrete, vinyl sheet piles, and or/soil. The design also includes a gradient control system beneath the liner to collect groundwater that may accumulate below the liner system and surface water that may collect behind the sidewall liner. The design offers a mezzanine level collection network to intercept and isolate groundwater and/or surface water. The comment period begins on June 27, 2015 and ends on August 11, 2015.
