Monitoring & Reporting for Waste Management Facilities

Solid waste facilities are subject to a wide range of regulatory frameworks, including Subtitle D for non-hazardous waste, Subtitle C for hazardous waste, and requirements under the Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and corresponding state-level mandates. We work across these frameworks to deliver monitoring solutions that are scientifically rigorous, site-specific, and fully aligned with permit conditions.

Monitoring and Reporting Services Include:

• Groundwater & Surface Water Monitoring
• Landfill Gas (LFG) Collection System Monitoring
• Leachate Detection & Liner Integrity Assessments
• Fugitive Emissions Monitoring
• Wellfield Tuning & Performance Analysis
• Regulatory Data Analysis & Compliance Reporting
• Permit Condition Tracking & Response Planning

Whether a facility is in start-up, full operation, or post-closure, we tailor our monitoring and reporting services to meet your compliance requirements and operational needs.

Monitoring the interaction between waste facilities and surrounding water systems is critical to environmental protection and regulatory compliance. Our services include:

• Design and Installation of Monitoring Networks: Groundwater wells, leachate detection systems, and surface water sampling points.
• Sampling and Data Collection: Routine fieldwork performed by trained technicians, following permit-specific sampling and analyses protocols.
• Lab Coordination: We work with certified labs to analyze water quality and leachate chemistry, ensuring data accuracy.
• Compliance Reporting: We interpret results, evaluate trends, and submit required reports to state agencies and the EPA.

We identify potential impacts early by designing a layered perimeter defense of monitoring points—giving facilities time to respond and correct issues before they escalate into violations.

Landfill gas management is both a compliance obligation and a performance opportunity for beneficial reuse. Our team helps clients maximize gas collection efficiency while minimizing the risk of emissions, fire, or off-site migration.

We provide:

• Wellfield Monitoring and Tuning: Adjust vacuum pressure and balance gas extraction to optimize collection efficiency and align or adjust modeled generation rates.
• Fugitive Emissions Surveys: Use calibrated instruments to detect methane hotspots and initiate action-level response protocols.
• Gas Generation Modeling & Calibration: Compare actual wellfield output against projections and adjust the model based on site-specific variables
• Instrumentation and Compliance Tracking: Real-time monitoring of oxygen, methane, and pressure levels to stay within regulatory thresholds
• Automation and SCADA Development: Design systems to automate system monitoring, data management and remote system control

A well-maintained wellfield protects the environment, provides potential for financial return, and demonstrates operational excellence.

Monitoring is only half the equation—what you do with the data matters most. RESPEC provides complete reporting services, helping clients interpret complex data sets, identify trends, and prepare reports that meet regulatory requirements.

• State and Federal Compliance Reporting: Format and submit reports per Subtitle D, NPDES, Clean Water Act, and other requirements
• Permit Condition Monitoring: Track site-specific compliance items and ensure timely corrective action
• Custom Dashboards and Data Systems: Simplify reporting with tools that organize and visualize monitoring data for internal teams and regulators

Whether we’re working with a seasoned in-house technician and compliance team or providing turnkey services, our role is to ensure compliance, build confidence with regulators, and protect our clients’ reputations.

Monitoring and reporting aren’t just regulatory requirements—they’re the key to operational confidence, environmental stewardship, and public trust. From routine fieldwork to data analysis and agency reporting, we help clients stay ahead of compliance, detect problems early, and maintain peak facility performance.

Whether you need groundwater sampling, landfill gas tuning, or full-scale compliance management, RESPEC is ready to help you protect your site—and your future.
