Integrated Solid Waste Management Planning

Delaware County, New York. As part of Delaware County’s goal to continue to utilise their existing landfill site, they embarked on extensive efforts to re-define their solid waste management goals and objectives. In order to do so, the County assembled a team of planning specialists who focused on centralised and integrated solid waste management and watershed planning issues.

As part of the overall strategy to fully utilise the existing landfill property, GHD successfully identified a solution to continue development of solid waste disposal and processing facilities at the County’s Solid Waste Management Center that satisfied environmental, regulatory, and watershed management standards. These efforts included: solid waste management planning; development of aggressive recycling and landfill diversion strategies; integration of multiple town transfer stations; biosolids management; wetlands evaluation; landfill siting study and permitting; landfill design and construction services; and municipal solid waste (MSW) co-composting facility development.

Improving Lake Water Quality

Onondaga County’s Department of Water Environment Protection has upgraded the Syracuse Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant to meet stringent new water quality standards for Onondaga Lake by 2012.

GHD was selected to lead a team of three engineering companies in designing a world class plant based on its track record in the USA. "GHD is recognised as a leader in wastewater technology in the USA and this project has demonstrated why. The company’s work has enabled us to dramatically improve the lake’s water quality," said the Department’s Commissioner Patricia Pastella.
