August 12, 2019 Reference No. 11146097 Mr. Paul D'Amato Regional Director New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Region 8-Division of Air Resources 6274 Avon Lima Road Avon, NY 14414 Dear Mr. D’Amato: Re: Second Quarter Surface Monitoring at High Acres Landfill NYSDEC Permit ID No.: 8-9908-00162/00043 On the dates of June 18, 2019 and June 19, 2019, GHD conducted the Second Quarter Surface Scan Program for the Waste Management of New York, LLC (WMNY) - High Acres Landfill and Recycling Center (High Acres) facility located in Fairport, New York. The monitoring was conducted in accordance with the Revised Surface Emission Monitoring and Ambient Monitoring Work Plan (Work Plan), which was submitted to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) on March 2, 2018. As per Section 1.2 of the Work Plan, GHD used 200 parts per million (ppm) of methane as an enhanced monitoring level instead of the 500 ppm level noted in 40 CFR 60.753(d). GHD performed the calibration, evaluation, and monitoring using a Thermo Environmental Instruments Toxic Vapor Analyzer (TVA) 1000 flame ionization detector (FID) to determine surface methane levels. Attachment 1 contains the monitoring instrument performance evaluation and calibration documentation. The monitoring followed a serpentine pattern at 30-meter intervals, as required in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart 60.753, and followed the pattern described in the Work Plan for the facility. Areas where visual observations indicated elevated concentrations of landfill gas, such as distressed vegetation and cracks or seeps in the cover, were monitored. While following the serpentine route, GHD monitored any penetrations they encountered along the serpentine path. During the surface scan, the following areas on the landfill were avoided for safety reasons, as stated under 40 CFR 60.753(d): • The new liner construction areas on the sloped region of Cell 11 (east side) and the Closed Landfill (east side) were unsafe to traverse • Grids T37 and U37 were avoided due to a concrete stock pile • Grids L21, L22, K25, K26, Y42, Y43 and Z43 were avoided due to safety concerns Figure 1 shows the areas described that could not be monitored during this quarterly period. All readings of 200 ppm or more above background were recorded as a monitored exceedance and the actions specified in paragraphs (i) through (v) below have been taken thus far. As long as the specified GHD 2055 Niagara Falls Boulevard Niagara Falls New York 14304 USA T 716 297 6150 F 716 297 2265 W www.ghd.com actions are taken, the exceedance is not a violation of the operational requirements of 40 CFR Part 60.753(d). i) The location of each monitored exceedance shall be marked and the location recorded. ii) Cover maintenance or adjustments to the vacuum of the adjacent wells to increase the gas collection in the vicinity of each exceedance shall be made and the location shall be re-monitored within 10 calendar days of detecting the exceedance. iii) If the re-monitoring of the location shows a second exceedance, additional corrective action shall be taken and the location shall be monitored again within 10 days of the second exceedance. If the re-monitoring shows a third exceedance for the same location, the action specified in paragraph (4)(v) below shall be taken, and no further monitoring of that location is required until the action specified in paragraph (4)(v) has been taken. iv) Any location that initially showed an exceedance but has a methane concentration less than 200 ppm methane above background at the 10-day re-monitoring specified in paragraph (4)(ii) or (iii) below shall be re-monitored one month from the initial exceedance. If the one-month re-monitoring shows a concentration less than 200 parts per million above background, no further monitoring of that location is required until the next quarterly monitoring period. If the one-month re-monitoring shows an exceedance, the actions specified in paragraph (4)(iii) or (v) shall be taken. v) For any location where monitored methane concentration equals or exceeds 200 parts per million above background three times within a quarterly period, a new well or other collection device shall be installed within 120 calendar days of the initial exceedance. An alternative remedy to the exceedance, such as upgrading the blower, header pipes or control device, and a corresponding timeline for installation may be submitted to the Administrator for approval. The following areas exhibited FID readings greater than 200 ppm above background during the second quarter of 2019: Date Grid Location Description Reading (ppm) 6/18/19 P47 HAGW1011 Ground Penetration 376 6/18/19 AI43 Grid AI43 Soil Area 289 6/18/19 T46 West GW-181 Ground Penetration 370 6/18/19 P39 HAGW0902 Ground Penetration 230 6/18/19 J48 HAGW1002 Ground Penetration 1,372 6/18/19 M47 HAGW1007 Ground Penetration 2,156 6/18/19 R49 Grid R49 Well Ground Penetration > 10,000 6/18/19 T48 West GW-182 Ground Penetration 3,167 6/18/19 T48 Grid T48 Well Ground Penetration 1,310 6/18/19 AB35 East GW-9 Ground Penetration 1,158 6/18/19 AC38 Grid AC38 Distressed Vegetation 791 GHD 11146097D'Amato-6 2 Date Grid Location Description Reading (ppm) 6/18/19 O39 West GW-70R Ground Penetration 1,431 6/18/19 L38 Riser Ground Penetration 3,510 6/18/19 J44 HAGW1003 Ground Penetration 3,410 6/19/19 AC42 East GW-14 Ground Penetration 436 6/19/19 Q28 West GW-64R Ground Penetration 567 6/19/19 O26 West GW-31R Ground Penetration 1,013 6/19/19 K33 West GW-68 Ground Penetration 674 6/19/19 L26 SC-01 Ground Penetration 4,261 6/19/19 N30 West GW-90 Ground Penetration 1,611 6/19/19 X29 West GW-136 Ground Penetration 5,436 Table 1 outlines the location of exceedances and the respective corrective actions taken. Pictures of the exceedance locations can be referenced in Attachment 2. A reading was taken at each grid location as shown in Table 2. There were no other exceedances of the 200 ppm above background limit observed at any of the grid points or ground penetrations on the High Acres Landfill during this quarterly period. The 1-month follow-up readings took place on July 18, 2019. All exceedance points displayed readings below the 200 ppm above background limit and are currently in compliance. GHD will perform the third quarter monitoring during August or September 2019. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (716) 297-6150. Sincerely, GHD Steven D. Wilsey Bryan P.

"Building the Trans-Asia Highway" Bali’s Mandara toll road Executive Summary International Road Federation Better Roads. Better World. 1 International Road Federation | Washington, D.C. ogether with the Ministry of Public Works Indonesia, we chose the theme “Building the Trans-Asia Highway” to bring new emphasis to a visionary project Tthat traces its roots back to 1959. This Congress brought the region’s stakeholders together to identify new and innovative resources to bridge the current financing gap, while also sharing case studies, best practices and new technologies that can all contribute to making the Trans-Asia Highway a reality. This Congress was a direct result of the IRF’s strategic vision to become the world’s leading industry knowledge platform to help countries everywhere progress towards safer, cleaner, more resilient and better connected transportation systems. The Congress was also a reflection of Indonesia’s rising global stature. Already the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia aims to be one of world’s leading economies, an achievement that will require the continued development of not just its own transportation network, but also that of its neighbors. Thank you for joining us in Bali for this landmark regional event. H.E. Eng. Abdullah A. Al-Mogbel IRF Chairman Minister of Transport, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Indonesia Hosts the Region’s Premier Transportation Meeting Indonesia was the proud host to the 1st IRF Asia Regional Congress & Exhibition, a regional gathering of more than 700 transportation professionals from 52 countries — including Ministers, senior national and local government officials, academics, civil society organizations and industry leaders.

Dynamic centrifuge model test for performance-based design of grid-form deep mixing walls supporting a tall building Junji Hamada & Tsuyoshi Honda Takenaka Research & Development Institute, Takenaka Corporation, Inzai, Chiba, Japan ABSTRACT Dynamic centrifuge model tests in the 50 g field were conducted to investigate a failure behavior of DMWs in liquefiable sand during large earthquakes. A miniature model of DMWs was made of soil-cement with an unconfined compressive strength of about 4,000 kPa in order to investigate the behavior/toughness of the DMWs after yield and failure on seismic performance. The DMWs model that support the superstructure’s weight of 206 kPa, the natural period of 0.6 second were set in a laminar shear box, and repeatedly tested by increasing the acceleration level of the input motion recorded at TAFT earthquakes. The relationship between shear stress and shear strain of the DMWs, namely the nonlinearity of the DMWs was investigated. No significant settlement of the structure was observed even if the normal and shear stresses in the DMWs were assumed to have locally reached the tensile or shear criteria of soil-cement. 1 INTRODUCTION potential for liquefaction mitigation. However, the local failures of the DMWs are not acceptable in the existing Grid-form DMWs (Deep cement Mixing Walls) which is method of allowable stress design.

    Growing Together Articulates a Number of Proposals That Can Help the Region Exploit Its Huge Untapped Potential for Regional Economic Integration

    i Photo by Warren Field ii FOREWORD For the global economy, these are difficult times. The world is emerging from a crisis whose aftershocks continue to resonate – trapping some of the richest economies in recession and shaking the foundations of one of the world’s major currencies. Here at ESCAP, there are historical echoes. What is now the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific was founded more than 60 years ago – also in the aftermath of a global crisis. The countries of Asia and the Pacific established their new Commission partly to assist them in rebuilding their economies as they came out of the yoke of colonialism and the Second World War. The newly established ECAFE, as ESCAP was called then, held a ministerial conference on regional economic cooperation in 1963 that resolved to set up the Asian Development Bank with the aim of assisting the countries in the region in rebuilding their economies. Fifty years later, the Asia-Pacific region is again at a crossroads, on this occasion seeking ways and means to sustain its dynamism in a dramatically changed global context in the aftermath of a global financial and economic crisis. An important change is the fact that, burdened by huge debts and global imbalances, the advanced economies of the West are no longer able to play the role of engines of growth for the Asia-Pacific region that they played in the past. Hence, the Asia-Pacific region has to look for new engines of growth. The secretariat of ESCAP has argued over the past few years that regional developmental challenges, such as poverty and wide disparities in social and physical infrastructure, can be turned into opportunities for sustaining growth in the future.
