The Shaffer Landfill is a closed, two-lobed industrial and municipal landfill located within the Iron Horse Park Superfund Site. Construction of the landfill cap (for which Geosyntec provided independent construction quality assurance services) was completed several years ago, with ongoing post-closure operation and maintenance. An energy developer identified the exposed lobes of the landfill as potential sites for solar development and retained Geosyntec to conduct an engineering evaluation for the construction of a fixed, ground-mount, photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system.
