About the Project

The Virginia Beach Landfill has been in operation since 1971 and receives nearly 200,00 visitors per year. The municipal landfill encompasses almost 104 acres and provides Virginia Beach citizens a place to safely dispose of household waste.
A Virginia General Assembly House Bill (HB 1205) required Phase 1 of the Virginia Beach Landfill to stop accepting waste by December 31, 2020. Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) permitted the final cap to be completed by December 2022.

Landfill Closure

The cap for the Virginia Beach Landfill No.2 covered approximately 60 acres on the south slope of the existing landfill. The scope of work included a final 20-acre permanent soil cap and a temporary 40-acre cap. The temporary cap allows the City of Virginia Beach to meet regulatory requirements for the Phase 1 cap while allowing the expansion of active cell Phase 2A.
More than 65,000 square yards of Single Net Straw rolled erosion control blanket was installed by Erosion Control Services, LLC. The Straw Blanket stabilized the landfill’s slopes for the permanent soil cap.
