On Wednesday, October 9, we have scheduled maintenance planned for the Zink Enclosed Flare on site. This work is part of the routine preventative maintenance and monitoring program for our gas equipment. The work is currently scheduled to begin at 7:00 am and will be completed at the close of normal business hours. Our Crew has been instructed to minimize any odor impacts associated with this scheduled maintenance event. All other site gas collection and controls will be unaffected, and the odor control system will be online.

Renewable Energy Powerplant and Landfill Gas Management:
Continuous use of gas collection wells and flares for odor control. Ongoing work includes raising gas collection wells, installation of additional horizontal gas collectors, installation of gas vacuum lines, and upgrades to the gas collection wells for drainage and collection enhancement. Well-raising is a daily activity in coordination with filling operations.
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.
