Elevated temperature landfills pose serious hazards; however, detecting and monitoring these conditions can be difficult.
Nick Yafrate was recently named as one of Waste360’s 40 Under 40 award recipients because of his experience working with more than a dozen elevated temperature landfills around the United States to install innovative new monitoring instruments and create long-term strategies for addressing potentially volatile landfill issues.
Waste360 spoke with Nicholas (Nick) Yafrate, a senior engineer at Geosyntec Consultants, about helping clients identify, alleviate, and prevent issues related to elevated temperature landfills.
