Westerly Long-Term Residuals Plan
Our Work

The recommended alternative in the long-term residuals plan was to maintain operation of the Westerly multiple hearth incinerators without importing solids from other municipalities (the lowest total net present value over the 20-year period). NEORSD implemented the recommended alternative for rehabilitation of the Westerly incinerators via a capital improvement project in 2016 and 2017.
