ASCE September Meeting – Earn 1 PDH – Join us for a tour of the ecomaine landfill/ashfill site & Happy Hour @ Stockhouse. .

The ecomaine landfill/ashfill site, spanning 274 acres between Scarborough and South Portland, was established in 1978 and is projected to operate until around 2045. Waste from ecomaine’s waste-to-energy plant in Portland is incinerated to generate electricity, reducing waste volume by 90%, with the remaining ash transported to the nearby landfill. The site, licensed by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, is closely monitored for environmental impact, with regular testing showing no significant contamination. The incineration process stabilizes heavy metals in the ash, minimizing environmental risks, while additional protective measures include underground drainage, stormwater ponds, and over 200 monitoring points. CMA Engineers is responsible for the overall project design and Sargent Corporation has been contracted to construct the project. Join ASCE for a tour of the ecomaine ash landfill site with Brett Deyling and Jake Stevens who will discuss various topics associated with the project design, construction, and overall project status. Please bring your hard hat, safety vest, and steel toed boots. We will follow up with all registrants with an aerial showing the parking and meeting location.
