Hamilton Sanitary Landfill
Mays Landing, Hamilton, NJ
From waste to watts: a remediated landfill, reengineered to generate solar power for a neighboring school.
Site Work.
Dynamic Site Redevelopment (DSR) was engaged to lead a multi-phase program focused on compliant landfill closure, stormwater and geotechnical stabilization, and the integration of a utility-scale solar array designed specifically for landfill applications.
PHASE 1: Landfill Capping, Grading, and Geotechnical Stabilization
PHASE 2: Advanced Stormwater and Erosion Control Infrastructure
PHASE 3: Solar Development Engineering on a Capped Landfill
Solar.
The 50-acre Mays Landing landfill redevelopment project centers on transforming a long-inactive disposal site into a technically robust and community-beneficial renewable energy asset. DSR led the engineering and remediation effort, beginning with the design and construction of a compliant landfill cap, extensive regrading, and the installation of stormwater basins capable of managing runoff and long-term settlement across the site. These improvements not only stabilize the landfill and protect surrounding environmental resources, but also create a structurally dependable plateau specifically engineered to support solar infrastructure without disturbing capped waste.
