LANDFILL: Capping work proceeds at SECCRA

Here's an update to the item I wrote a few weeks ago about the ongoing work at the SECCRA landfill in London Grove Township. A portion of the landfill is being "capped" or sealed off. Huge black tarps were laid down along the steep slopes and temporarily held in place with white sandbags. Now the tarps, which block rainwater from getting into the full garbage "cells," are being covered with a layer of soil. Next grass and other plants with shallow roots will be planted.
