Florida C&D Landfill Prepares to Close

GEL Corp. landfill must extinguish fires before official closing.

 

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has given GEL Corp. until Oct. 6 to comply with its construction and demolition debris landfill permit before state officials will approve the closing of the company’s landfill in Orange City, Fla., according to a report in the News-Journal (Daytona Beach, Fla.).

 

To meet the standards of the permit, fires burning for more than a year at the landfill must be extinguished and the hill must be reshaped, according to the report.

 

GEL Corp. has operated the 13-acre C&D landfill for about 15 years.
