The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) received a permit renewal application for the Nome Inert Waste Monofill (permit # SWZA037-17).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
According to design information provided in the revised permit renewal application received by ADEC on July 13, 2017, the City of Nome is proposing to expand the footprint of the monofill to extend across the City-owned closed Class II municipal solid waste landfill. The lateral expansion will result in the total size of the monofill increasing from 7.6 acres to 12.1 acres.
