What safeguards are in place at Alliance Landfill to protect the groundwater?
Our double-liner system is built to specifications that exceed state guidelines. And to make sure our liner system is operating properly, an independent, third-party contractor draws samples from the landfill’s 12 groundwater monitoring wells every three months. The results of these analyses are reported to Alliance and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP). Alliance also is improving groundwater by controlling stormwater runoff and by eliminating the landfill property as a source of acid mine drainage.
