Abstract

The once hazardous Fresh Kills Landfill is now being converted into a park over the span of 30 years. Details of the intriguing characteristics that made Fresh Kills the once largest landfill in the world are noted on this website such as the landfills gas emissions and impact on human health. We also detailed the future plans for that area mentioned in the Drat Master Plan. This park will be over three times the size of Central Park and will be divided into five sections with activities integrating environmental programs, recreation and infrastructure. Additional benefits will be from the gas collecting systems to produce gasoline.
