The proposed project is in Section 22, Township 12 North, Range 2 West, near Spencer, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. The project site can be found on the Midwest City, Oklahoma 7.5 Minute USGS Quadrangle map at North Latitude 35.496825 and West Longitude 97.388838.

The overall purpose of this work is to provide additional waste disposal capacity for the Oklahoma City Metro area. The project is not a water dependent activity.

Description of Work: The applicant proposes the placement of dredge or fill material consisting of a total of 7,007 cys of onsite sourced sandy loam/loamy native soils for the preparation of a clay liner, 6 future waste disposal cells, and two stormwater ponds within waters of the United States. Specifically, the placement of dredged or fill material would be within scrub-shrub wetland “A” (0.40 ac) within the proposed location of Phase 12 of the lateral expansion area. Scrub-shrub wetland “B” (0.16 ac) would be placed during Phase 13 of the lateral expansion area. The proposed activities within the open water “1” (0.04 ac) would occur at location Phase 17 and the proposed north stormwater pond (0.04 ac). Open water “5” (0.68 ac) would occur within the proposed locations of Phase 12 and 13 of the lateral expansion area. Ephemeral stream “1” (1,359 lf, 0.14 ac) flows through proposed Phases 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 within the proposed lateral expansion area. Intermittent stream “2” (0.03 ac, 383 lf) would flow through the proposed Phase 13 as well as the proposed north stormwater pond (0.02 ac; 363 lf) in the lateral expansion area. This work would be conducted in a total of 7 phases, only phase 11 would not require DA authorization.

The landfill expansion components includes 6 proposed waste disposal cells, 1 stormwater pond in the northwestern portion of the expansion area, 1 stormwater pond in the eastern portion of the expansion area, 1 run-on control channel spanning the northern property boundary, 1-15 ft screening berm along the eastern property boundary, 3 perimeter drainage channels spanning the northern, eastern, and western property boundaries, 1 relocated natural gas pipeline extending north along the western perimeter of the expansion area, then east near the northern property boundary, then south near the eastern property boundary.
