Containment Design
Our system protects the environment by ensuring all waste is contained and
isolated from soil and groundwater. The site's multi-layer composite liner system
is built to strict engineering standards, using geosynthetic clay liners and a
60-mil, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liner. The final cap includes a soil
foundation, a 40-mil HDPE liner, drainage and soil layers, with a vegetative cover.
Groundwater Monitoring
Groundwater is monitored at 16 monitoring wells-four upgradient and 12
downgradient. Monitoring results are submitted to the Spokane Regional Health
District and the Washington State Department of Ecology.
Leachate Collection & Treatment
All waste cells have a leachate collection and removal system, complete with
automated pumping that maintains sump levels below regulatory standards.
Leachate is collected and managed in double-lined evaporation ponds.
Additional Services Provided
Recycling services for asphalt, cardboard, concrete, heavy plastics, metal and wood.
Waste Approval Process
Waste Management has a defined waste screening protocol for each of its non-hazardous waste facilities,
which protects both our employees and the environment. For all industrial and special waste streams,
the generator or agent must complete a Generator's Non-Hazardous Waste Profile (available online at
wmsolutions.com) for review by our technical staff.
Community Partnerships and Involvement
Waste Management is proud to be an active supporter of community events and programs that make
our area a cleaner and healthier place to live, work and play.
