Landfill reclamation feasibility study for the Montauk Landfill, town of East Hampton, New York. Final report
A landfill reclamation feasibility study was performed at Montauk Landfill in East Hampton, Long Island, New York. The purpose of the study was to determine whether landfill reclamation is a technically and economically feasible alternative to conventional landfill closure via capping. The technical feasibility of landfill reclamation at the site was determined from a field investigation in which the waste from different periods in the landfill`s history was characterized, the percent of reusable and recyclable materials determined, environmental hazards assessed, and throughput rates determined. Potential markets and/or uses for reclaimed materials were identified and estimates for the re-disposal of the residual waste were obtained from waste-to-energy facilities and offsite landfills.
