What's an Elevated Temperature Landfill? (ETLF) Reactions occur inside a landfill 1. certain substances become fuel; 2. Breakdown of waste creates heat; 3. air enters when gas wells create vacuum. 4. Excessive leachate or waste compaction holds heat,This can create pyrolysis.

New Orleans stopped dumping trash in waterways in 1909 (YAY!) & opened a dump in East New Orleans. Toxic waste from Hurricane Betsy cleanup in 1965 created hazardous conditions.AGRICULTURE STREET LANDFILL | Superfund Site Profile US EPA buff.ly/y1NFn4s

Here is how to access the PADEP Inspection report of #BethlehemLandfill dated 7-11-25, which tells the same old story about this Waste Connections dump and its problems! We'll be sharing the highlights in the coming days.cms2.revize.com/revize/lowersa…

Section 273.201(c)(2) of the PA Solid Waste Management Act is pretty basic. Does the facility operate in accordance with approved plans and permits? The July 11, 2025 DEP inspection Report apparently says no! See attached. Full Report can be found here buff.ly/NHKlRPY

On the 7/11/25 DEP inspection report, outstanding violations are noted, from Feb 2025 & Feb 2025 since Bethlehem Landfill has not promptly corrected deficiencies. That's a violation of Section 273.218(b)(3). (See text in photo) #NoLandfillExpansion #BethlehemLandfill

An oldie but a goodie. Bethlehem Landfill has violations outstanding going back to Feb 2024 and Feb 2025 because the Southeast corner of the landfill is still stinking! Daily & Intermediate cover not adequate, flagging of waste. See excerpt. Sections 273.233(b)(1) and 273.233(c)

DEP inspection of Bethlehem Landfill on 7/11/25 shows outstanding violations from 2024 related to air quality & air pollution. Here are excerpts from the report. Will BLC ever be in compliance with SS 273.217(b) & 273.217(a) of the PA Solid Waste Mgmt Act? #NoLandfillExpansion

Vultures observed at the working face by DEP inspector on 7/11/25. Surprisingly, no notice of violation is issued. Here's a snapshot of the law and of inspector's comments. BLC uses LST's nuisance ordinance as an excuse, while nuisance birds continue to plague the community.

Here's exit interview notes from DEP's 7/11/25 inspection of Bethlehem Landfill. BLC must be told how to manage so many aspects of their facility? This is our our beautiful township, where people want to live free from the dump. BLC must do better. Or better yet, CLOSE THE DUMP.

Bethlehem Landfill's self-serving mailer claims a strong environmental record. HA! The 8/8/25 DEP inspection rpt mentions outstanding violations for fugitive emissions, air quality, daily cover, and not operating in accordance with approved plans/permit. We're not fooled!

Here's a quick re-write to an excerpt of Bethlehem Landfill's latest self-serving mailer. Burying trash is a stone age method. Save our forest from this stinking old dump!

Bethlehem Landfill's latest scare tactics aren't fooling us. BLC uses the only thing in its favor to perpetuate its infringement on our community. 94% of municipalities don't have a dump & taxpayers haven't moved to the poorhouse yet! Go home, Big Garbage. #NoLandfillExpansion!
