The Starke County Commissioners accepted a contract on Thursday to move forward with a solution at the county landfill, which is exuding methane around the perimeter, much to IDEM’s displeasure. The commissioners spoke with Mike Maxwell from Weaver Boos Consultants, who explained that their best bet is to install vertical borings – essentially chimneys – in the landfill to help vent the gas vertically.
The county landfill is still exuding methane around the perimeter and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management is not happy about it. To fix the situation, Mike Maxwell from Weaver Boos Consultants told the commissioners that their best bet financially is to install vertical borings – essentially chimneys – in the landfill to help the gas vent vertically, cutting down on the methane exhaust around the perimeter.
