CMRA Backs ADC Demonstration Project

Project will examine the use of C&D fines.

Published June 15, 2006

 

A proposal to perform a hydrogen sulfide gas demonstration project in New England will be supported by the Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA). The project, designed by Green Seal Environmental, Sandwich, Mass., which manages the CMRA’s New England Chapter, will look at C&D fines used as alternate daily cover (ADC) at active landfills and as shaping and grading material in landfill closure projects.

 

An ongoing issue with fines stems from the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas produced when sulfate containing materials decompose. The purpose project is to detail a  demonstration/pilot project that will study and attempt to address the H2S issue. The main intent is to prove that this commodity can be used if proper controls, procedures and best management practices are used consistently.
