Barton & Loguidice provided assistance to Granger Energy for various engineering and permitting tasks for developing and implementing a landfill gas processing facility and a 9-mile direct use pipeline that connects to the 13-mile landfill gas pipeline from Lanchester Landfill. A high-tech gas processing facility houses equipment that will compress, filter, and dry the landfill gas prior to conveying the gas by pipeline for industrial use. The landfill gas will be transported from the Conestoga Landfill via an 18-inch pipeline that is designed and constructed specifically for low-pressure landfill gas service.  B&L coordinated the pipeline design and permitting efforts including numerous wetland and stream crossings, numerous landowner easements, coordination with utilities, material purchasing, and various other tasks to expedite the construction schedule.

B&L provided additional services including:

• developing grading scenarios for the station;
• obtaining required State and Local permitting including Construction NPDES permit, Highway Occupancy Permit, local Land Development Plan approval, and zoning approvals;
• siting a 30” vacuum intake line;
• designing a subsurface storm water infiltration system;
• developing a post construction storm water management plan; and
• coordinating permitting efforts regarding onsite wetlands, including surveys for state listed flora and fauna.

B&L assisted with siting, permitting, design, and construction of the Regional Landfill Facility in the Town of Ava, the first new landfill site for mixed municipal solid waste to be built and become operational in New York State in over a decade. B&L was the principal author of an Environmental Impact Statement and alternatives analysis and prepared the applications and received regulatory approval of the solid waste permits and Title V air permit for the 150-acre Subtitle D landfill facility. Following issuance of the permits, B&L prepared final plans and specifications for the site access roads, leachate storage and loadout facility, the first 23.6 acres of double composite liner, leachate pump station, fueling facility, scale, operations and maintenance facility, storage facilities, site-wide SCADA system, an extensive stormwater management and staged sediment control system, as well as a study for a future landfill gas collection facility. B&L was responsible for all construction administration and inspection for the project.
