Solid and Hazardous Waste Management
A leader in solid waste facility design, permitting, and construction

Weaver Boos is recognized as a leader in MSW landfill and transfer station design, engineering, and permitting. In the regional markets served, no privately-held engineering firm offers a more comprehensive range of services to the Solid Waste industry than Weaver Boos.

Weaver Boos is capable of assisting clients with the siting of new solid waste facilities, or expansion of existing sites. The firm can demonstrate years of experience with all aspects of permitting - Solid Waste, Title V and other Air Permits, CWA Stormwater and Wastewater, in both State and Federal regulatory environments. On a routine basis the firm serves as certifying engineer for facility construction and modification.

In addition to assisting with the development of operating facilities, Weaver Boos personnel are equally qualified to aid with the management of closed landfills. Personnel are experienced with respect to the management of both leachate and landfill gas (LFG). Weaver Boos can design and manage the construction of both simple or complex environmental control systems for each waste stream.

The firm also has comparable experience serving owners and operators of RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste management facilities, and companies addressing RCRA Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs).
