ENCAP Landfill

America's largest housing builder, Pulte Homes, selected Berger to develop a health risk assessment for the proposed redevelopment of the ENCAP Landfill site-composed of five closed landfills in Lyndhurst and Rutherford, NJ-for residential housing and recreational use such as golf courses. Following an initial survey of environmental and geotechnical data, Berger experts collected gas samples from the landfill and analyzed them for trace amounts of hazardous compounds that might create a health risk for future residents. The results showed that the risks were within acceptable limits.
