LANDFILL SERVICES

For more than 30 years, Hydro Geo Chem, Inc. (HGC) has provided high-quality, award winning environmental services to both the public and private sector. We have experience on a variety of solid waste issues throughout the United States. Working with numerous solid waste industry clients and regulators, we have applied innovative technologies such as aerobic stabilization of landfill waste; soil vapor extraction (SVE) and air injection (AI) to remove chlorinated hydrocarbon sources from deep vadose zones beneath unlined landfills; and pump-and-treat bio-enhancement technologies for contaminated groundwater plume containment and cleanup. HGC’s Landfill Technology Group specializes in servicing the needs of the solid waste industry, with an emphasis on creative and technically-sound solutions to challenging solid waste engineering problems. Our background and scope of solid waste services offered include:

Measuring Landfill Gas Generation
Design of Landfill Gas Collection Systems
Reduction of Landfill Greenhouse Gases
Aerobic and Anaerobic Bioreactor Engineering
Design of Landfill Lining and Final Cover Systems
Construction Management
Landfill Remediation Services
Charaterization of Soils and Groundwater Contamination

 

LANDFILL TECHNOLOGY GROUP KEY STAFF

HGC’s Landfill Technology Group is nationally recognized for its expertise in applying advanced hydrologic and geochemical techniques to the solution of landfill-related engineering problems. Over the last 30 years, HGC has developed a philosophy for environmental management that has minimized our client’s liabilities and saved them millions of dollars. This philosophy has been successfully adopted by our Landfill Technology Group in problems involving the management of landfill gas, contamination, and landfill bioreactors.

Mr. Peck is licensed as a Civil Engineer in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Washington. He is also licensed as an attorney in Arizona.

 

Dr. Harold Bentley, Ph.D. Dr. Bentley is Hydro Geo Chem, Inc’s Principal Scientist and is a recognized expert in the fields of groundwater chemistry, environmental tracers, and the fate of organic contaminants in the subsurface. He is the principal developer of HGC's Baro-Pneumatic Method for measuring LFG generation, and has presented several presentations at national and international seminars related to the measurement of landfill gas generation and emissions modeling.

 

Richard Petrus M.S. has developed Arizona-specific solid waste management expertise covering landfill design, permitting, construction management, lateral expansion, and closure. Additionally, he has managed methane monitoring and abatement projects at several landfill sites.

 

 

Stewart Smith, M.S. Mr. Smith joined Hydro Geo Chem, Inc. in 1989 as a Hydrogeologist. With over 23 years experience, Mr. Smith performs numerical modeling of baro-pneumatic data for estimating landfill gas generation at landfill facilities as well as the performance of gas collection systems at the conceptual design level.

 

 

Warren Thompson, B.S. Mr. Thompson manages construction and installation of remedial systems for HGC's landfill projects. He has installed more than 10 large scale SVE systems with capabilities ranging from 50 to 2,000 scfm and 3 groundwater pump-and-treat systems used to remediate VOC contamination beneath landfills.
