Frey Farm Landfill Vertical Expansion

Frey Farm Landfill Re-Use Slide Show

The Frey Farm Landfill Vertical Expansion is the Authority's plan to expand the currently used Frey Farm Landfill by employing a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) berm around the perimeter of the footprint to enable effective capacity increase without substantial liner footprint increase or setback conflicts.

This will:

- Achieve 20+ years disposal capacity.
- With a lower 10-year, 20-year, and per cubic yard cost than Creswell Reuse Landfill.

- Utilizes the existing Frey Farm Landfill permit and disposal site without interruption to its operation.

- Vertical Expansion would add approximately 16 acres of additional liner system, but would utilize existing footprint and liner system (approx. 110 acres total).
- Have a net capacity ~10 Million CY
- With an estimated lifespan 23 Years
- Soil Deficit ~750,000 CY
- Cost per CY (2008) $3.85
