Sky Mound Landfill 1A, New Jersey

A partially completed reclamation land art sculpture/park at an old landfill, built by Nancy Holt and the people of New York and New Jersey. Holt worked with the Meadowlands Development Commission in engineering the closure of the dump, known as Lanfill 1A. According to the plan they developed, the 57-acre landfill was to be converted into a park with several sculpted mounds and celestial alignment structures, as well as pipes emitting methane flares. However, after the closure and stabilizing of the landfill, the rest of the design was not implemented. The top of the landfill is now covered in solar panels.
