Sunny Farms Landfill Finishes Gas Extraction Well Project

5/3/19 – 5:29 A.M.

The expansion of a gas collection system finished this week at the Sunny Farms Landfill in Seneca County. Sunny Farms officials say they were able to meet an April 30th deadline to complete the project.

The gas collection system includes 21 new gas extraction wells. Officials say that’s a more than 30 percent increase in the number of wells.

Pipes take gas from the wells to a flare neutralization system, which aims to reduce the odor coming from the landfill.
