Present Land Use
The General Plan designation of the site for the proposed project is Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste. The site is surrounded by General Agriculture zoning AG-40. Solid waste disposal on the site is conditional use with the site's AG-40 zoning. The closest non-agricultural area is Kettleman City, located 3.5 miles northeast of KHF. Kettleman City includes residential, commercial, and industrial land uses.
Document Description
The revised permit is to convert a portion of the existing Landfill B-19 to be operated as a bioreactor unit. The anaerobic bioreactor will introduce liquids and high-moisture-content waste to accelerate the decomposition of Class II/Class III waste. The remainder of Landfill B-19 will continue the traditional method of landfilling and will serve as a control for comparing the two methods of waste disposal.
- Increase the maximum permitted tonnage per day of Class II Designated Waste and Class III Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the Landfill B-19 from 1,400 tons-per-day (TPD) to 2,000 TPD.
- Receive up to 800 tpd of liquids and high-moisture content wastes.
- Receive up to 800 tpd of Class II soils.
- Increase the hours of waste acceptance at the Landfill B-19 to include Saturday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
- Reconfigure the footprint of the Landfill B-19 from 40.4 acres to 29 acres, while increasing the height from 935 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL), to 945 feet above MSL.
- Revise the final cover system from a composite barrier layer system to an evapotranspirative cover system.
- Revise the estimated closure date to up to 2012.
- Increase the maximum permitted traffic volume from 86 vehicles per day to 168 vehicles hauling waste, cover material, or materials for beneficial use entering the facility per day.
