The Landfill Project:

The landfill will be designed and permitted in multiple stages. Stage 1 of the project involves the design, permitting, construction and operation of a bioreactor-type landfill and associated waste processing and operational support facilities, which may include:

• Leachate collection, treatment, recirculation and disposal facilities;
• Wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities;
• Landfill gas collection, treatment and processing facilities;
• Truck access roads and stacking areas and weigh scales;
• Small vehicle drop-off areas for residential waste and recyclables;
• Office and personnel support facilities;
• Truck wash, maintenance garage and fueling facilities;
• Storm water collection, detention, and discharge facilities;
• Potable and process water collection, treatment and distribution

Only Municipal Waste and Residual Wastes will be disposed in the landfill. No hazardous waste will be accepted. The landfill will be constructed and operated in full accordance with DEP regulations, and all other pertinent laws and regulations. It will be designed to operate on a 24-hour per day basis Mondays through Saturdays, with no Sunday or Holiday operations.

Stage 1 of the landfill will be constructed on a footprint of approximately 274 acres and will have a total volume of approximately 40 million tons of waste disposal capacity.

Stage 2 of the landfill will be designed and permitted when Stage 1 is nearing final capacity. The total footprint area of the complete landfill will be approximately 750 acres.

The landfill will be designed and operated as a bioreactor landfill utilizing leachate recirculation and waste placement techniques to promote rapid biologic decomposition of the organic fraction of the waste. The landfill will include active landfill gas extraction, collection and processing systems to minimize air emissions, accelerate landfill stabilization, and maximize energy recovery for use on the project site.

The Waste To Energy Project:

Resource Recovery has continued an extensive evaluation of available processes for the production of "green" energy on our project.  Our research first led us to consider biodiesel and further research has led us to some cutting edge technology in the waste-to-ethanol field. This technology is extremely exciting because it literally takes trash components and through a gasification process, produces ethanol. Resource Recovery intends to continue our dialogue and research into all available programs for waste-to-energy.

The Quarry Project:

Through extensive test drilling and evaluation, initial reporting determined there to be a sandstone formation on the project site. This sandstone, in addition to being available for use in the on-site construction of roadways and the landfill, is of high quality and may be exported for use in high traffic highway construction throughout the region.

Environmental Enhancement Projects:

The purpose of the environmental enhancement projects is to alleviate the acid mine drainage and site erosion problems currently existing on the property, and to mitigate the environmental impacts resultant from the construction and operation of the landfill. Resource Recovery has entered into an agreement with the Moshannon Creek Watershed Coalition to aid in environmental studies and remediation.

These projects will involve the following improvements:

• Acid Mine Drainage collection, treatment, discharge;
• Wetlands enhancement and construction;
• Habitat improvements and erosion prevention.

The Railroad Access Project

Resource Recovery LLC, in cooperation with local rail service providers, may restore the rail service to the site that was utilized during the coal mining operations several years ago, and abandoned when that mining concluded. The rail will provide a means for the delivery of waste and raw materials to the site, and the export of products from the site.
