Home Depot USA, Inc. (Home Depot) is continually expanding into new territories through development of key property locations that meet their market demographic requirements and fit their site development model. Home Depot has substantial experience in converting closed landfill sites and other environmentally-impacted properties into productive store locations. In Oregon City, Oregon, Home Depot identified a site that is located above a portion of the closed Rossman's Landfill, which was operated between 1969 and 1983 and received residential and commercial wastes. A primary requirement for the redevelopment of the site was protection of customers and employees from potential risks associated with landfill gas (principally, methane, carbon dioxide, and trace gases). The project approach utilized by Home Depot involved design and installation of a gas monitoring and control system in compliance with Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) regulations.
