The proposed Chesapeake Terrace Rubble Landfill would be located along Patuxent Road in Odenton, Anne Arundel County, Maryland (39.042° N, 76.740° W). The landfill would be bounded on the northeast by the Little Patuxent River, on the west by the Amtrak Railroad, on the southwest by Conway Road, and the southeast by Patuxent River Park.
National Waste Managers, Inc. has applied for a Refuse Disposal Permit to construct and operate a non-hazardous solid waste acceptance facility that would accept land clearing debris and construction and demolition debris for disposal and/or recycling. The proposed landfill is estimated to provide approximately 9.3 million cubic yards of landfill capacity to encompass a 114.4-acre fill area on a 480-acre site. The landfill would be required to have a liner and leachate collection system to capture and collect water that infiltrates into the landfill. There would also be a network of monitoring wells around the landfill to monitor the quality of the groundwater beneath the site.
