James Landfill

The NJDEP Site Remediation Program selected Berger to provide engineering and consulting services for the closure of the James Landfill. Berger experts took samples from wells to determine possible groundwater contamination and the presence of gases; tested soil, groundwater and leachate for contamination; and evaluated remediation alternatives. The proposed landfill closure will include a new cap, regrading and compaction of landfill waste; repair and expansion of the existing landfill gas extraction system; new monitoring wells to evaluate groundwater quality and off-site migration of potential contaminants; and upgrading the surface drainage structures.
