RELOOC Strategic Plan - Frank R. Bowerman Landfill

RELOOC Strategic Plan - Frank R. Bowerman Landfill

The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2005-0735-R5 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Orange County Integrated Management Department (IWMD). The operator proposes to alter the streambeds by the future development of the FRB Landfill in eight remaining phases. The Frank R. Bowerman (FRB) Landfill is owned by the County of Orange and operated by the Integrated Waste Management Department (IWMD). The Landfill opened in 1990 and its current permits project closure in approximately 2022. However, in 2002 the FRB Landfill experienced a major on-site landslide that will force the closure of the landfill in 2014 if not remediated. The IWMD has prepared a Master Development Plan (MDP) for the FRB Landfill (BAS 2004). The purpose of the MDP is to remediate the 2002 landslide and maximize the available landfill capacity of the site. The MDP proposes future development of the FRB Landfill in eight remaining phases (from 2003), two of which (i.e., Phases VII A and VII B) have been constructed. The ultimate implementation of the MDP will require substantial earthwork and is estimated to include excavation of approximately 40.7 million cubic yards (MCY) of soil for landslide remediation and phasing excavation.
