Administration: Responsible for the proper and safe disposal of waste generated within the city and the immediately surrounding Piedmont Triad counties allowed within the Transfer Station permit. Waste disposal operations include the landfilling and transferring of municipal solid waste, the landfilling of construction/demolition material, and the composting of yard waste, including grass clippings, leaves, limbs, and branches. Waste Disposal Monitoring & Regulatory Compliance: Responsible for testing and monitoring to ensure that landfill operations remain compliant with regulations administered by the City of Greensboro, Guilford County, the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Specific areas of environmental compliance include air emissions, wastewater, groundwater, and surface water monitoring, and maintenance of air quality, land quality, disposal, and composting permits. Environmental Compliance and Support: The Environmental Compliance and Support Unit provides assistance across the organization in identifying, managing and addressing environmental challenges and impacts to reduce the City’s potential liability. Some areas of expertise include Brownfields, underground and aboveground storage tanks, solid waste management, groundwater, surface water and soil remediation, vapor intrusion, air quality, and GIS spatial analyses. This includes the management of the Household Hazardous Waste collection facility and the management and disposal of municipally-generated hazardous materials. The ECSU also coordinates regulatory reporting activities, educates the community on environmental issues, assesses municipal operations for environmental compliance, and provides environmental engineering services.
