Visalia Disposal (Landfill) Site Compost and Biomass Conversion Facility - Landfilling Operations

Visalia Disposal (Landfill) Site Compost and Biomass Conversion Facility - Landfilling Operations

The Visalia Disposal (Landfill) Site is currently permitted for receiving up to 2,000 tons of municipal waste per day and are just below that threshold. If the proposed compost facility generates additional new tonnage, the County risks being in violation of that permit. Therefore, the proposed project would increase permitted tonnage to 3,000 tons per day (tpd) to be split between the compost facility and the landfilling operations. The original permitted 2,000 tons will be used for solid waste disposal, and the maximum additional 1,000 tons would be used for the composting operation [emphasis added]. It is anticipated that, over time, a maximum of 1,200 haul truck trips will be used to deliver landfill and compost material; 900 haul truck trips would deliver landfill material to the existing landfill and 300 haul truck trips would deliver compost material to the composting operation located within the Landfill’s existing footprint.
