Seneca Meadows, Inc. (SMI), a Waste Connections company (NYSE: WCNX), has partnered with The Water & Carbon Group (WCG) to design, build, and operate New York State’s first fixed-plant PFAS leachate treatment system. The 300,000-gallon-per-day facility will establish a new standard for environmental protection and proactive landfill management across the region. The system will employ WCG’s patented LEEF System® (Low Energy Foam Fractionation), a technology that uses fine air bubbles rather than chemicals to separate and concentrate PFAS compounds from landfill leachate. Engineered to handle complex leachate chemistries, the process achieves high removal efficiencies while maintaining low energy demand and minimal residual generation. “This project represents a significant step forward for both Seneca Meadows and New York State,” said Nick Ganzon, US President for the Water & Carbon Group. “SMI’s leadership on this issue demonstrates that responsible operators aren’t waiting for regulation, they’re acting now to ensure lasting environmental protection.”
