Wayne Disposal, Inc. Renewal Application Information
As part of this Application, WDI has proposed to modify the landfill design and conduct new operations at the landfill. The design changes include altering the liner grade to allow for an expansion in the volume of waste to be placed in the cell; adding new leachate collection and removal sumps in Master Cell-VI Subcell G4 (MC-VI G4) – G7; and altering the final cover design. The new operations include storing hazardous waste in containers and conducting treatment in the landfill. Sylwia Scott is the contact person for WDI and can be reached at 734 699 6294 or SScott@RepublicServices.com.
EGLE is reviewing the Application to:
- Determine if the Application is sufficiently detailed to evaluate the facility and its potential for impact on human health and the environment.
- Determine if the proposed engineering modifications and operational activities comply with all state and federal governing regulations.
- Determine if the facility does not present a hazard to human health or the environment, as determined by EGLE inspections and compliance with applicable environmental regulations.
- Evaluate and consider potential impacts that the proposed expansion could have on the environment and local community.
- Provide the public opportunities to offer input on the proposed expansion.

Environmental Justice and Limited English Proficiency
EGLE conducts Environmental Justice (EJ) and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) screenings for communities surrounding a hazardous waste facility prior to a license renewal. The EJ screen helps to identify EJ communities in the vicinity of a hazardous waste facility, and to choose the type and scope of site-specific community engagement activities. For EJ communities, the MMD considers the need for license conditions to mitigate EJ concerns and ensure that authorized hazardous waste operations will be protective of human health and the environment. The LEP screen helps EGLE identify the need for oral or written translations in identified language(s) for vital documents and at public meetings.
