Bayer-Risse Engineering, Inc. works with quarry and
landfill owners in obtaining approvals for long term maintenance of closed
or inactive quarries and landfills. This work has included securing permits
for beneficial reuse of alternative materials such as wastewater treatment
plant biosolids, food processing by-products, and other materials
ordinarily considered to be part of the waste stream. The permits we have
secured for clients have allowed blends of these recycled products to be
used as soil to maintain and repair the final surface of the landfill. We
have applied the same materials and techniques in reclamation of active and
inactive sand and gravel quarries.
Projects of this nature involve several branches of the Department of
Environmental Protection. An approval must be secured from each group
(Solid Waste, Engineering, Pretreatment and Residuals) in order for the
project to be successful.
