The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) proposes to approve a permit modification request for expansion of the Fort Greely Inert Waste Monofill, Solid Waste Disposal Permit No. SWZA055-24.
APPLICANT INFORMATION:
Landowner: United States Army Landfill
Operator: United States Army
Location: Fort Greely, Alaska
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Fort Greely Inert Waste Monofill currently accepts construction and demolition debris and other inert wastes for disposal in its 4.5 acre disposal cell. The current disposal cell is nearing capacity and Fort Greely is proposing to expand the footprint of the monofill. The proposed expansion will increase the total acreage available for potential waste disposal to 23.5 acres, including an existing pit that was excavated during previous gravel extraction activities.
