Beulah Landfill:
Construction and operation began in 1965
over 102-acre site. Municipal waste was first deposited
in the southwest section at an average depth of 15
feet to 20 feet. As the disposal cells moved to the
east, the depths increased to 30 to 35 feet.
In
1968, the first domestic septage
and domestic wastewater treatment sludges were deposited
in an excavated and bermed area (+ 10 acres) at the
southwest corner. In 19776, the sludge holding pond
was filled with construction demolition debris and
municipal waste and covered with 12 inches or more
of on-site soil. In November 1977, the east + 20 care
sludge pit was constructed of a diked area on the
landfill. The liquid sludges were deposited in this
diked area on the previously filled solid wastes.
The wastes absorbed the sludges to create a solid/spongy
mixture. In June 1984, all sludge dumping ceased.
The
main sources of waste were the City of Pensacola,
residential and commercial, Escambia County franchise
collectors and commercial haulers. Waste was also
received from private haulers and the general public.

treatment plant sludges, commercial and industrial
sludges, and sludges from the naval air station on
the site. All disposal activities were concluded in
1984.
