The PRRD board of directors traveled to the North Peace Regional Landfill on Thursday for the commissioning of a gas management system that will convert waste-generated methane into something more useful.
Landfills that have 100,000 or more tonnes of waste in place, or a waste acceptance rate of at least 10,000 tonnes per year are required to put a waste management system like this in place, as per the Ministry of Environment’s Landfill Gas Management Regulation.
The North Peace Regional Landfill was assessed as needing a system to deal with gas by 2021.
