The waste management decisions of today make a permanent impact on tomorrow.
Cardinal’s cost consciousness, educational achievements,
and field experience have led to over 30 projects with hazardous, nonhazardous,
industrial, and municipal waste landfills as well as disposal facilities
in many parts of the country. Cardinal’s role varies with each project,
depending on the client’s needs and abilities. Cardinal assisted
with the design and permitting of the largest
nonhazardous landfill in the 
United States and continues to provide construction
quality assurance and control annually. Other clients rely on Cardinal
to evaluate management practices, train employees, design landfill expansions, and establish
more efficient waste delivery systems. Cardinal’s breadth of knowledge
is not surprising, as the company has over 35 years of experience in waste
management, disposal, construction, operation, closure, and financial
assurance.
Challenge: A company wished to permit, construct, and operate an industrial solid waste landfill in the southwest United States in order to meet the needs of regional businesses and manufacturing companies.
Solution:
Cardinal completed the permitting process for the proposed industrial
solid waste landfill in a cost effective and timely manner. The permit
application was approved in record time, and the draft permit submitted with the application received only minor changes from the state
environmental agency. The prompt approval of the permit application was
accomplished due to the regulatory knowledge and experience of Cardinal’s
employees and because Cardinal worked closely with the state environmental
department throughout the permitting process. This timely work kept the
project on budget and on time.
"Never have I worked with a firm with more thorough knowledge of landfill design, construction, and operational constraints or more successful permitting strategies and negotiation skills."

Cardinal Engineering assisted in obtaining a permit through the State Department of Environmental Quality for expansion of the existing landfill. The expansion permit is unique in that it is located adjacent to and above a former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site, the Mosley Road Landfill.
Cardinal staff provided design services for the leachate system, final cover, liner systems and the groundwater monitoring programs for the Mosley Road Superfund site, the East Oak Expansion area and the existing East Oak Landfill area.
In addition to permitting for the East Oak Expansion area, Lemke Land Surveying, a Cardinal Company, provided surveying services for the entire site. Lemke crews developed a boundary survey for the site, tying the landfill to the State Plane Coordinate System. Construction staking and site layout surveying also were completed by Lemke surveyors with support from office personnel.
Cardinal provides consulting services to Waste Management in connection with computer modeling and analyses of surface water elevations and flood conditions associated with the North Canadian River. The East Oak/Mosley Road complex is located adjacent to the North Canadian River and Crutcho Creek, a tributary of the North Canadian River. Regulated flood plains from both streams impact the East Oak/Mosley Road site. Cardinal has generated a computer model of the North Canadian River along its boundary with the East Oak Landfill and is assessing the impacts of flood flows on the Waste Management site.
Additional work at the East Oak/Mosley Road complex includes surveying and review of final cover placement for the Mosley Road Superfund site. Groundwater data also are being collected and analyzed from monitoring wells associated with both East Oak Landfill and the Mosley Road Landfill. Cardinal developed the groundwater monitoring regime now in place at the site.
