Leachate is the liquid waste formed when rain and snow melt drain through the waste deposits of landfills. At the Fredericton site the leachate is collected and piped to a biological treatment lagoon.
A cell designed for the disposal of ash generated by the University of New Brunswick’s physical
plant was constructed in late fall of 2001.
UNB reimburses the FRSWC for capital and operational costs associated with the ash cell. In 2012, a total of 1,602 metric tonnes of ash were received
from UNB.
Surface water from around the site is collected and treated in the sediment pond.
The pond allows for clay and other materials to settle on the bottom and then the clean water is released into the environment.
