Sacramento Municipal Utility District selects SCS Engineers for landfill closure

The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) has selected Sacramento-based SCS Engineers to provide engineering and construction support services for a landfill closure located on SMUD’s North City Substation property. SCS will provide the necessary services aligned with SMUD’s Environmental Protection Policy for the closure.

“Our team has extensive experience in similar landfill closure projects,” Wendell Minshew, senior project manager at SCS, says. “We understand and support the district’s environmental commitments, as well as its fiscal responsibility to the communities it serves.”

SCS will assist SMUD’s Environmental Services staff in designing and engineering a closure and post-closure maintenance plan, as well as engineering to cap the landfill. SCS will handle the project permitting, engineering, waste management, construction quality assurance and project management support, as well as provide community outreach pertaining to the project.

Once the project is in place, the SCS team will also monitor and generate the necessary landfill gas and groundwater reports, the company says.
