Reasons for Exemption
Minor alteration of existing facilities, which do not result in an expansion of the use beyond that existing. Also, the addition of safety and health protection devices in conjunction with existing facilities.

These extraction wells are being installed to enhance the effectiveness of this system. Implementation of this project will not affect the landfill's capacity or site life.
