MOJAVE-ROSEMONT SANITARY LANDFILL

MOJAVE-ROSEMONT SANITARY LANDFILL

To expand the existing facility into a regional landfill in accordance with the Kern County Waste Management Department (KCWMD) 2005 Solid Waste Infrastructure Plan. As a regional landfill, the facility may accept waste from the Tehachapi and Kern Valley Transfer Stations, as well as the Ridgecrest and Boron Sanitary Landfills following the closure of these facilities. The project will revise the facility's Conditional use Permit (CUP) and Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) No. 15-AA-0058 to allow for the increase in the permitted disposal area and permitted height of the facility, ultimately increasing the permitted capacity and lifespan of the site. The proposed expansion of the Mojave-Rosamond RSLF consists of multiple modules, which will be constructed sequentially. This fill sequence plan was developed to minimize module preparation, double-handling of soils, construction and operating consists, and environmental impacts form air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. The contractor may move disposal activities at any time between existing Modules so as to take optimal advantage of disposal air space efficiencies, and to maximize operational flexibility. The existing disposal area is unlined; however, future modules will be lined according to Title 27 California Code of Regulations (CCR), Subtitle "D" requirements.
