Current Monitoring Project
In 2005, CMEI commissioned an Independent External Review of the Crane Mountain Landfill by ADI, Ltd., an award-winning Atlantic Canada engineering firm, with extensive landfill design and monitoring experience. This Review is available to review or download from the Reference Section of this website.
In 2008, CMEI initiated a follow-up to the 2005 Review, which has been conducted by ADI engineers. This report assesses responses to recommendations made in 2005 and looks at several issues that were not included in the earlier document.
The 2009 ADI Update Independent External Review of the Crane Mountain Landfill was presented to the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commissioners, Counsellors from the City of Saint John and Grand Bay-Westfield, and officials from the Department of the Environment on November 17, 2009 at the KBM Community Centre. John Sims, Senior Hydrogeologist made the presentation.
To understand the essence of the review read the following 3 sections.
