EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The pre-feasibility study to assess the potential LFG recovery at the Cheesemanburg 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 study to assess the potential landfill gas recovery and utilization from the Cheesemanburg landfill.The study included the review of landfill design of the future Cheesemanburg landfill and expected waste quantities to estimate the potential landfill gas recovery over its lifetime. In addition, it includes the preparation of a landfill gas collection and recovery system conceptual design and a budgetary cost estimate.

Site Assessment
The site assessment presents an analysis of the documentation gathered through publicly available information and data provided by various project stakeholders and the review of the landfill design provided within the Cheesemanburg landfill environmental and social impact
assessment (ESIA).
Cheesemanburg landfill will be located approximately 25 kilometers north of the Monrovia city center in the town of Cheesemanburg. Currently, the final design is being revised per indications by the Liberia EPA. The access road and some clearing of the site was observed during the site visit, but actual construction is not expected until the revised design is approved by Liberia EPA.
The landfill is expected to start operations in early 2026 with a life span of approximately 20 years. The site property is approximately 40 hectares from which 24.2 hectares have been assigned for waste placement.
