Fauquier County CDD Landfill Expansion

Obsidian finds 1.5 million CY of air space and saves the County $1.5 million

By recognizing the value of unused air space, Obsidian, Inc. helped Fauquier County Environmental Services recognize a HB 1205 expansion over a previously capped portion of their old landfill.  This vertical expansion, as allowed by current DEQ Waste Management regulations, created approximately 1.5 million cubic yards of useable air space with a value of nearly $20 million dollars.   The vertical expansion also saved the County approximately $1.5 million for siting, acquisition, design and permitting of a new CDD landfill.

This type of success demonstrates Obsidian’s goal of helping our clients optimize their resources by working together and developing creative solutions.
