RUDY ORRANTIA - Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility in San Diego, California

RUDY ORRANTIA is a hazardous waste treatment facility located at 5180 Convoy St., San Diego, California, within the United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 562211, which covers hazardous waste treatment and disposal. As part of the San Diego County area, it supports regional waste management needs for industrial and commercial generators. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), specifically Subtitle C for hazardous waste management. California's Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) enforces additional state-level requirements. Typical technologies at such facilities include physical/chemical treatment, incineration, or stabilization to render waste less hazardous before disposal. Environmental significance lies in its role managing hazardous materials to prevent contamination of soil and groundwater. Proximity to urban areas in San Diego requires robust containment and monitoring systems. The facility contributes to the circular economy by enabling safe recycling or disposal of industrial byproducts.

San Diego's Mediterranean climate and proximity to the Pacific Ocean create sensitive ecosystems. Hazardous waste treatment facilities must manage risks of groundwater contamination from leachate and accidental spills. The facility's location in an urban area necessitates strict air emission controls and community safety protocols. California's stringent environmental regulations, including Proposition 65 and the California Environmental Quality Act, impose additional oversight.
