Home My WebLink AboutDERR-2025-004541VCP/Brownfields Section - Site Visit Report SITE NAME: Airport West / North Temple Landfill SITE LOCATION: Salt Lake City DATE OF SITE VISIT: 10 June 2025 PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT: DERR (David Bird) oversight of field activities at the Airport West VCP site. FIELD OBSERVATIONS: On 10 June, at ~2 pm, the DERR met with Ninigret (Eric Rice) at the on-site construction trailer. ET Technologies (Bill Higginbotham) also joined us. We traveled to the location along the eastern boundary of Phase I and inspected Cell 236 which had been excavated and two confirmation samples collected. It was noted that in this location, another 1.5 feet of material needs to be excavated to meet the final design elevation for development in this area of the site. Cell 200 was inspected next. Excavation is not complete here, but there is an area where waste has been extracted, and leachate of varying depths is present. An area of the 25’ buffer zone near the northeastern extent of the planned Repository was visited. Cottonwood tree remains are present here, and are slated to be placed in the Repository. The group observed placement of landfill waste and stockpiled soil from the lead shot scrape areas into the future Repository footprint area. This material was being placed adjacent to and being keyed into the northern slope of the Bonneville Pile. The crushing of concrete in the southwest portion of the site was continuing. The DERR left the site at ~3:15 pm. SPLIT SAMPLES COLLECTED: No IS THE WORK BEING PERFORMED IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE ACCEPTED WORKPLAN? Yes Looking east at the excavated cell 236. Warehouse building can be seen in the distant background. Two confirmation soil samples were collected from the bottom of the excavation. Looking north at a partial excavation at cell 200. Varying depths of leachate can be observed here. Looking west at a layer of Lead Scrape Area soil being placed on landfill waste in the new Repository footprint. The existing Bonneville pile can be observed in the background. The new material is being keyed into the existing Bonneville pile as it is placed.
