EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pre-Feasibility Study to Assess the Potential LFG Recovery at The Whein Town Landfill located in the vicinity of the City of Monrovia, Liberia was performed as part of direct technical assistance being provided by the Waste Initiative of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC). The main objective of this study is to develop a pre-feasibility study to assess the potential recovery of landfill gas from the Whein Town landfill including: the assessment of the current waste disposal site, including its technical aspects (i.e., storm water, leachate, and landfill management) and historical waste disposal sequence and quantities, and develop a conceptual design for a landfill gas management system.
Site Assessment
The main objective of this activity was to present an analysis of the documentation gathered through publicly available information and data provided by various project stakeholders. In addition, an assessment of the technical aspects related to current site conditions, landfill operations, stormwater, leachate and landfill gas management was performed during the site visit the week of March 25, 2024. Whein Town Landfill is located approximately 25 kilometers northeast of the Monrovia city center in Paynesville at 10 to 20 meters above sea level. The access to the landfill is located approximately 0.9 km west of the Monrovia-Kakata Highway. Whein Town Landfill has been in operation since 2008 and is expected to closed late 2025.
