This landfill has been redesigned to help improve the surrounding environment and land. It was located in a dry, windy area, with bad soil that made growing grass very difficult. They asked a company to design a landfill closure system at the renewable energy park. The results of this project provided environmental protection and generated revenue. This project placed flexible solar panels directly on the surface of an exposed geomembrane cover that connected solar energy to the landfill's existing gas-to-energy system (“Tessman Road Landfill,” n.d.). Therefore, this solar energy gives landfill owners the power to create electricity, which could be sold to local power companies and/or used as energy for the site. This was a win-win situation for the company because not only did it provide renewable energy, but it created a revenue stream and reduced maintenance requirements by totally eliminating the need to cut grass on a grass-covered landfill and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, it was made to be more environmentally friendly and to reduce the health risk of surrounding people
