Project Profile – North Temple Landfill

Facility: Closed Landfill Remediation Project - North Temple

Location: Salt Lake City, UT

Operators: Ninigret Management and ET Environmental

System: Leachate WAIV® Evaporation System

Installation Year: 2025

The North Temple Landfill Remediation Project is our first full-scale WAIV® system.  In 2025, the system evaporated over 700,000 gallons of leachate with flow as high as 15,000 gallons per day.  While WAIV is effective in most areas of the country, SLC's dry and windy weather is perfect for maximizing the technology's evaporative capacity.  The system is taking care of a significant volume of leachate that would otherwise need to be hauled away and treated at a POTW.

As ET Environmental states, "Through this collaboration, ET and LMS are proving that forward-thinking engineering can simultaneously protect the environment, reduce costs, and enhance project efficiency. At North Temple, innovation isn’t just cleaning up the past. It’s shaping a smarter, more sustainable future. "  For more information about the project, check out ET Environmental's Page.
