Summer Help

Department: Landfill Gas
Location: Dover, DE

Field Work:

You will be on the landfill monitoring gas extraction wells. At each individual wellhead you will use a push camera to visually inspect the inside of the gas wells. You will be able to record the camera output for later review should you need to double check anything. In addition to the video feed, the push camera will also measure the number of feet it is extended. Using this feature, you will be able to measure the depth from the top of the PVC pipe to the follow points:

• transition from solid pipe to perforated pipe

• full depth of the well (or as far down as you are capable of measuring)

• liquid surface (if liquid is present in the well)

• location of any elbows, bends, breaks, or any other points of note (if any are present in the well)

**Note on field safety** Whenever you are on the landfill, you must be in compliance with DSWA’s Safety Policy. This includes wearing steel-toe boots, a high-visibility shirt or vest, and a personal gas meter at all times when on the landfill. You may also need to wear a hard hat, safety glasses/sunglasses, and/or hearing protection depending on the area you are working in. DSWA will supply these safety items. Always watch your step as the ground on the landfill can be very uneven. It is unlikely that your personal gas meter will alarm, but if for some reason it does you should walk away from the area and call one of our landfill gas staff to meet you.

Office Work

You will be performing work in the office as well, primarily using Microsoft Excel, AutoCAD, and Propeller to complete the final deliverables. DSWA staff will train you on the applicable software if you are not already familiar with them. EOE
