VAUGHAN, ON,
March 10, 2022
/PRNewswire/ - GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL) (TSX: GFL) ("GFL"
or the "Company") announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary,
Arbor Hills Landfill, Inc ("Arbor Hills") has agreed to a Consent
Judgment with EGLE to resolve issues raised in a complaint filed by
EGLE in late October 2020. The
complaint related to odors at the landfill in the period between
January 2018 and November 2019. Although the incidents in the
complaint occurred prior to GFL's acquisition of Arbor Hills on
October 30, 2020, in keeping with its
commitment to the surrounding communities, GFL agreed in the
Consent Judgement to codify best odor management practices
implemented by GFL at the landfill.
GFL also agreed to undertake three supplemental environmental
projects in connection with the settlement of the enforcement
action in Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and
Energy v. Arbor Hills Landfill, Inc. to enforce state and federal
laws. The three projects are the establishment of a new
household hazardous waste drop-off program at the landfill to be
run by Washtenaw County, the
installation of a state-of-the-art perimeter emissions monitoring
system and the installation of a vegetative barrier at two
locations facing Napier Road.
"Since we acquired Arbor Hills, GFL has been committed to
continuing to invest in improvements at the landfill including the
soon-to-be-constructed renewable natural gas facility that will
convert landfill gas to renewable energy," said Dave Seegert, the Arbor Hills Landfill Manager.
"We continue to be focused on implementing best management
practices at the landfill."
