A paper mill located in Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, required a new landfill to dispose of 40,000 tons per year of bark and sludge from their new wastewater treatment plant. An abandoned disposal site nearby was investigated and determined to be adequate for redevelopment. C.J. MacLellan and Associates of Antigonish together with ABL provided the engineering design for a three-phase operating plan, and construction administration services to redevelop the site. The leachate collection system was designed using computer models and the site material was reused to form leachate drainage layers.
