Document Description
The approved project described in the Final PHLF EIR included the enforcement of the Ordinance Regulating the Extent of Use of the Puente Hills Landfill Site (Ordinance), which precludes disposal of waste originating within any city with a population in excess of 2,500,000 and that either owns or is entitled to use another operating landfill. Because of the recent decline in incoming tonnage to the PHLG, it is no longer necessary to totally preclude these cities from using the Landfill. The change to the approved project, to be implemented through the amendment of the Ordinance, allows the Chief Engineer to implement procedures for the acceptance of excluded refuse in amounts that will not impair the disposal of waste originating within the boundaries of any County Sanitation District of Los Angeles County. The landfill will continue to operate in an environmentally sound and cost-effective manner and only accept non-hazardous solid waste and inert wastes not prohibited from disposal. Land filling operations will continue to tonnages up to the current permitted capacity of 13,200 tons per day until scheduled closure on October 31, 2013.
