Blymyer Engineers, Inc., as the engineer of record, developed and implemented an operation and maintenance (O&M) project for the closed 544-acre Shoreline Landfill. The O&M project was performed to maintain compliance with the regulatory-approved landfill closure plan. The O&M plan included performing field surveys using both conventional and GPS-based surveys to identify the location and perimeter limits of subsidence zones resulting from settlement of landfill materials. Additional field surveys were also performed to identify areas where surface drainage improvements and slope modifications were necessary. Engineering plans and specifications were prepared. Blymyer Engineers, Inc. assisted in observation of the improvements and prepared the final report. Field work was coordinated so that burrowing owl habitat was not impacted.
