As garbage decomposes it creates methane & CO2. Gas vents are inplace to passively release the gases. These gas vents are seen in the older
sections of the landfill.

In some areas of the landfill gas wells and piping are in place to collect thegas from the landfill to produce energy. In this case the “candy cane” shaped
vents are absent.

tanks at the facility holds 500,000 gallons of leachate.
