Lasco's proposed berm would be used for the plastic, foam and rubber. Alternatives to the berm, such as an on-site landfill site. and incineration, have been con- sidered by Lasco. However, findings suggest tbe berm would have a lower overal impact on the environnient. Lasco bas addressed public concerns arising from tbe poten- tial hazards of leachate sensitive materials (waste containin g con- taminants) being discardedt into the sewage system, by suggest- ing leachate would uncdergo regu- lar testing. Treatment of the leacbate may also be necessary. Lasco bas furtber proposed tbat the volume of leachate sbould be minimized upon com- pletion of tbe berm. Pending approval, Deeth says tbe berin could be operational in a year and a baîf, although Lasco is hoping the start-up will be earlier.
