Title

Tajiguas Landfill Capacity Increase Project

Description

The Tajiguas Landfill Capacity Increase Project involves a new approximate 14.25-acre Phase IV waste fill area at the existing Tajiguas Landfill to provide approximately 6.1 million cubic yards of additional airspace for burial of solid waste not suitable for recycling. The proposed project would increase the maximum permitted Landfill height from 620 feet to 650 feet above mean sea level, disposal area footprint from 118 acres to 132.25 acres, and design capacity of the Landfill from 23.3 to 29.4 million cubic yards to extend the estimated closure year (landfill life) to approximately December 2038. No changes to other Landfill operations or staffing would occur; however, the project includes a proposed change from the existing daily waste receipt limit of 1,500 tons per day to a working week limit of 9,000 tons and allowing receipt of waste at the scale house one hour earlier from 7:00 am to 6:00 am (currently the scale house opens at 7:00 am). No changes to the ReSource Center facilities or operations are proposed.
