Riverbend is proposing to build up the west edge of the landfill to better utilize space for waste storage. The project involves re-contouring and re-grading to build a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) berm around some of the landfill. Construction of the berm will allow better use of the existing landfill footprint and will not increase the height of the landfill.

The Oregon DEQ has approved a draft application for the construction of the berm and is facilitating a public comment period on the application.
