The City of Brownsville MSW Landfill is a carefully engineered facility designed to assure proper disposal of municipal solid waste. With a size of 275 acres, the Landfill serves the citizens of Brownsville as well as its surrounding areas. In fiscal 2009-10 it accepted 291,076.03 tons of waste, or more than 900 tons a day.
PFAS leachate concentrations and waste age. Total PFAS concentrations in raw leachate samples (Σ 32 PFAS, the sum of 32 PFAS concentrations) ranged from 61 ng/L to 172,976 ng/L (median 21,858 ng/L) ( Tables S–1 ). Yan et al. (2015) found similar levels and Σ 11 PFAA in raw leachate ranged from 7280 to 292,000 ng/L from municipal
AbstractThe leachate collection system (LCS) and leak detection system (LDS) flow rate data from 240 cells (or a combination of cells) at 54 municipal solid-waste landfills (located in seven US states) with double-liner systems were analyzed to assess the Practical ApplicationsThe findings from this investigation have practical relevance to
The EPA Inspector General issued a report in 2020 finding that EPA needs to improve oversight of how states implement air emissions regulations for municipal solid-waste landfills (14, 24).

Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are the third-largest human-generated source of methane emissions in the United States, releasing an estimated 95.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
