Leveraging Innovative Design for Landfill Redevelopment
Landfill redevelopment is becoming increasingly prevalent in several Florida counties, as land suited for redevelopment is sparse throughout the state, particularly in South Florida.
Since its establishment in 1976, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) has set the gold standard for properly handling certain wastes and designing, constructing, and maintaining a landfill. However, many landfills (i.e., “dump sites”) were built before RCRA became the law of the land—literally. As a result, they do not meet RCRA standards. This creates several challenges, as these dump sites are scattered across communities and, in some cases, have since been redeveloped into commercial/industrial warehouses, parking lots, and even housing.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS: Air Permitting for Data Centers
Smartphones play an enormous role in daily life for the 90% of Americans who own one, up from just 35% in 2011. For those in the vast majority, think about how many photos you have saved on your phone, the number of emails you send in one day, the countless apps you’ve downloaded. Then, consider the cloud storage needed to save the abundance of data generated and shared each day. Where does it all end up? Enter: data centers.
DIGITAL SOLUTIONS SPOTLIGHT: Harnessing Technology for Enhanced, Data-Driven Insights
The management of data has undergone a significant transformation, evolving into a more digital and visually oriented practice. The era of paper-based systems, including file rooms, field notebooks, and physical reports, is rapidly fading. While some may still appreciate the charm of sifting through archived documents in a quiet room, the fast pace of modern business demands quicker, more efficient methods. As a result, there is a growing consensus across industries that the migration toward smarter, technology-driven solutions is imperative to optimize each phase of the data life cycle.
