EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The closed American Canyon Sanitary Landfill (ACSL) has budgeted $400,000 for Other Professional Services and will need to increase it by $65,000 to cover additional services. The Authority plans to evaluate the Gas Collection and Control System (GCCS) at ACSL to determine if improvements are needed. This evaluation is expected to cost $20,032. In addition, the Authority plans to conduct a topography survey to help determine the current landfill and levee height. The survey is usually conducted every five years as required by our Water Board. The cost of this survey is $32,122.50. Maintenance Supplies for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 are anticipated to increase due to unexpected cost of failed leachate pumps. The anticipated costs of these pumps are $23,137.86.
