In April 2000 dredge material was transported from Greenbriar Lake to the landfill to help maintain erosion control. Surface water runoff was not considered a major issue with the site, because it was not in close proximity to any watersheds or tributaries. But the erosion was causing conflict in cleanup effort within the site, especially with installation of the methane release pipes. This caused the residents surrounding the landfill to become angry, since this process required the removal of the trees that were once blocking their view of the site. This opened the land behind their homes and did not provide a barrier of view from the cleanup efforts. Because of the resident opposition, this operation was halted in June 2003. Public outcry was also documented in 2001 when approximately 250 wells had to be sealed to help maintain the control of groundwater contamination. The wells were not being used for public drinking supply, but they were being used for non-potable water sources. The residents did not understand why they should not be watering their lawns or filling their pools with this polluted water. To control the overwhelming negative response from citizens, the Township agreed to install auxiliary meters for free to lessen the cost of disposal, since they could not use water for free from their wells anymore. 238 installations were completed in 2000 and cost the Township 290,525 dollars. The Township hired six union plumbers and sealed the wells for 94,900 dollars, which ended up under budget (Dickerson, 2018).
On May 11, 2011 the EPA approved the Township’s Redevelopment Plan and remedial action was started on May 17, 2011 by Birdsall Engineering Inc. All efforts were overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency and United States Army Corps of Engineers. Installation of the impermeable cap was completed in 2013 and paved the way for the installation of a solar panel field which would provide official reuse for the site. Brick Township partnered with Standard Alternative LLC to lease the land to the company to install a field of solar panels. The field will contain over 24,000 panels and produce approximately 7,400 megawatt hours of electricity per year. The site was ready for reuse and redevelopment on September 15, 2016.
