SCS Field Services to control gas at California landfills

SCS Field Services, Long Beach, California, has been retained by Placer County, California, to meet the operational goals set by Placer County Air Pollution Control District, as well as other regulatory agencies, at the closed Meadow Vista, Loomis and Eastern Regional Landfills.

Through the contract, SCS will help control landfill gas surface and subsurface migration by operating, monitoring and maintaining the landfill gas collection and control systems at the sites. This effort protects the environment and ensures air quality standards are met for county residents and that regulatory requirements are maintained.

SCS will provide routine maintenance, emergency and nonroutine repairs, continuous monitoring and other field and engineering services, as well as provide weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual reporting.

“By operating and monitoring landfill gas at the landfill sites, our field services team will make sure that the county is in compliance with local, regional and state air quality regulations,” says Anton Svorinich, a vice president with SCS. “We have worked at these sites since 1997 and our experience and familiarity with each closed landfill location will help us be both effective and efficient in fulfilling the scope of work.”
