    Air Emissions/Water Quality

    Annually, USA Waste/WMI prepares several reports for various regulatory agencies addressing air emissions and water quality related to landfill operations.  While most of these reports are included in the appendices for the landfill's Annual Report's, the reports are often outdated due to the Annual Report review process. 

    Current air quality and water resource reports can be accessed here:
