Analysis
In 1999 the City of Grand Prairie Landfill had a gas control and collection system installed, which would place parts of the entombed waste at the landfill under sufficient vacuum to convey it to a flaring facility. This system has been expanded as needed over the years to its present state, which includes over 100 wells. Each of these wells, in addition to the condensate pumps and sumps and probes require routine monitoring, measurement and maintenance and repair. Over time, it has become necessary to supplement internal staff with outside contractors to accomplish the growing list of tasks associated with this project.
In 2015, the landfill contracted with Weaver Consultants to assist with these task with excellent result. We are requesting authorization to contract with them for another year.
