New Utility Flare Location (photo below), is now online and will be commissioning for the next few weeks. Sign posted on the main road, Perinton Parkway
WM has invested over $2.3 million in 2023 into the HALRC gas collection and control system. Most notably a new flare adjacent to Perinton Parkway was commissioned in November. This new flare will allow WM the flexibility to apply greater amounts of influence on the waste mass and destroy higher volumes of landfill gas. Technicians are working diligently to rebalance the field. Some instabilities are expected while this effort takes place. In addition, an upgrade to the LFG conveyance infrastructure has begun. This project will provide greater amounts of opportunity to expand the collection system in the future.
