The team from WM and Heartland gathered at the Atlantic Waste Disposal facility in Waverly, VA on Thursday to celebrate receipt of the Distinction Award for the Global Water Intelligence’s 2022 Industrial Project of the Year. The on-site leachate evaporation project has massively decreased the need to dispose of the RO reject off-site. The project delivered a 73% decrease in off-site trucking of reject, reducing the carbon footprint of the landfill by avoiding the emission of 5,500 metric tons of CO2 annually, the equivalent to approximately 12,000 barrels of oil per year.
WM Capitol Area Engineer Manager, John Dottellis speaks about the effort and collaboration that led to the accomplishment.
