San Diego's Mediterranean climate and coastal location create specific environmental considerations for hazardous waste treatment. The facility must manage potential risks such as groundwater contamination from spills, air emissions from treatment processes, and proximity to residential areas. Leachate management and stormwater runoff controls are critical to prevent pollutants from reaching San Diego Bay or local waterways. The facility's location in an urban industrial zone requires careful traffic management and community engagement to address noise and odor concerns.
