Document Description
The existing permitted capacity of the Tajiguas Landfill (which is expected to be reached in ~2026) is proposed to be increased to reach a projected refuse disposal filling date of ~December 2038. An ~14.25-acre lined area located in the inland area of the landfill property would be excavated for refuse placement and additional waste would be placed over the existing permitted lined waste disposal area. The capacity increase would provide approximately 6.1 million cubic yards (mcy) of additional airspace. The permitted maximum elevation of the landfill would increase from 620 feet above mean sea level (amsl) to 650 feet amsl, permitted volume from 23.3 mcy to 29.4 mcy, disposal footprint from 118 acres to 132.25 acres and a change from the daily waste receipt limit of 1,500 tons per day to a working week limit of 9,000 tons. No change in other Landfill operations.
