[1] Developed by Carlisle Energy Services, the closure system provides renewable electricity via (photovoltaic) solar panels.

[2] The landfill closure system is a green, 60-mil scrim reinforced TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) geomembrane covering 48 acres in total.

A one-megawatt photovoltaic solar panel array is located on the southwest and southeast slopes of the landfill in an area of approximately 10 acres (4.0 ha).

[4] The photovoltaic system is actually composed of four separate arrays located on the 3H:1V slopes on the southeast and southwest areas of the landfill.

[5] Mas Energy secured the landfill gas rights for the Hickory Ridge Landfill from Republic Services, supplying fuel to their 6.5 Megawatt combined heat and power facility located at Coca-Cola's Cogen Plant in Atlanta, GA.[6] Coca-Cola is ranked third in the Top 20 Onsite Green Power Generators by the U.S. EPA Green Power Partnership as of July 5, 2012 mainly because of this system and the landfill gas from Hickory Ridge.
