More than just a landfill, 130EP opened in 2021, will ultimately include facilities for education, civic and community use, a recycling center, and an industrial park.
The entire environmental park includes more than 1,200 acres with the landfill occupying about 500 acres. Over 200 acres are available at any time for acceptance of deliveries waste. Waste is covered completely every day (reducing odor and protecting public health) and sewage sludge, the main cause of odors at some landfills, will not be accepted.
Two stormwater retention ponds in the park are designed to handle back-to-back, 100-year storm events – far exceeding the standard requirement.
