In accordance with the provisions of the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act and Solid Waste Rules Chapters 1 and 3, the Basin Electric Power Cooperative has submitted an application for a major permit amendment for the Laramie River Station Industrial Landfill.
This facility provides for the disposal of coal combustion residual waste and industrial waste which have been generated by the Laramie River Station Power Plant. The 187.80-acre facility is located at 244 Grayrocks Road, Wheatland, WY. More specifically, this facility is located in Section 28, Township 25N, Range 67W, in Platte County, Wyoming. The total volumetric capacity of this facility is estimated to be 26,629,190 cubic yards. The remaining life of the facility is estimated to be 33.8 years.
The purpose of the major permit amendment application is to allow the operator of this facility to redesign Cell 10 and a vertical expansion to raise the top waste grades over the existing waste management units.
