recommendations
Initial Begin discussions with regulators and surrounding property owners Install landfill gas (LFG) probes between the refuse and proposed developments Perform a grid pattern sweep for surface emissions of LFG (include adjacent structures and crawl spaces)

recommendations
Secondary Determine groundwater status Confirm the property lines by survey Perform investigations for limits of refuse by test pits or borings Post warning signs around perimeter Place temporary cover on exposed waste Evaluate the need (both from regulations and practical health and safety) for a landfill gas collection and/or treatment

recommendations
Following Clear trees and brush from waste areas Delineate wetlands Establish positive drainage and sediment and erosion control All structures existing or proposed on or within 1000 feet of the landfill should have building protection systems installed. These can be designed into the building with little impact.
