Smaller closed landfills (30 to 100 acres), present redevelopment
opportunity for recreational, residential, institutional, and commercial uses
due to their location. In addition these sites may qualify for greenhouse gas

smaller public and private landfills suddenly have new development options.
Because the smaller landfills are typically not required to collect LFG, they

A property located on a bank of the East River and in a densely developed residential and commercial area, had its work cut out for it from an environmental remediation standpoint. The mission was to clean up the land and ultimately make one puzzle piece to a larger urban revitalization project that would be redeveloped as a public library and park ranger station.
