It is a small landfill - total of ~14 acres, and they did a feasibility study of collecting the methane, and decided against doing it. But because it is required to be maintained as open land (to keep the cap intact), it makes a perfect site for this kind of solar array.
We should probably do methane collection on all sewage treatment plants, and solar can be put on all flat roofed buildings, and over all large parking lots, and on southern facing roofs. And we need to mix in wind and wave and tidal and small hydro, too. All over NEw England (and many other places, as well) there are many unused dams that could have small hydro power systems.
