Escambia County in Florida is very close to taking over the closure of the Saufley Landfill from current owners Louisiana Investment Group (LIG). LIG has reported it cannot maintain the site or cover the expected $5 million closure costs. Escambia is willing to take on the project as the construction of a nearby industrial park depends on the neighboring property being clean. Escambia will get the land for free and proceed with leachate collection controls, site preparation and the installation of a geosynthetic cap.
