Happy World Wetlands Day!!
This celebration dates back to 1971 when several environmentalists gathered together to reaffirm the protection and love of wetlands.
A leachate collection system is a necessary component at any landfill. Leachate is the liquid that results from water percolating through the solid waste in a landfill. Leachate generally contains high levels of heavy metals, nutrients, and other contaminants of concern. An important component of any leachate collection system is a tank that stores this collected leachate. Especially at closed landfills, these tanks may go weeks or even months between visits to check leachate levels. In addition, few of these tanks are under any sort of inspection or testing regime.
Knowing the status of a landfill’s leachate tanks is important. Preventing leaks, or at the very least detecting them early, can save a landfill manager a lot of money, headaches, and can aid in protecting the environment. Sand County Environmental has multiple cost-effective solutions to provide landfill managers knowledge about the integrity of their tanks and peace of mind about the status of their tanks. These solutions include hydrostatic testing, catholic protection testing and installation, and remote tank monitoring. We have experience in conducting these tests and corresponding with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources regarding these tests. Contact us today with regards to your leachate tanks and what we can do to check on the integrity of them!
