The 4th Assault Amphibian Battalion landfill is located at 5121 W Gandy Blvd in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida. It is an operational solid waste management facility serving the local community and military installation. The facility operates under U.S. EPA regulations including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste and Clean Air Act landfill gas rules. As a landfill in Florida, it must comply with state environmental permitting and groundwater monitoring requirements. The NAICS codes indicate activities related to ship building and building, support activities for water transportation, and hazardous waste treatment/disposal. This landfill plays a role in managing solid waste generated by the battalion and surrounding area. Its location near Tampa Bay raises considerations for leachate management and groundwater protection. The facility contributes to regional waste disposal infrastructure.

The landfill is situated in Tampa, Florida, a coastal city with a high water table and proximity to Tampa Bay. Effective leachate management is critical to prevent groundwater contamination. Landfill gas collection systems help mitigate methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. Community proximity and traffic from waste hauling are also key environmental considerations.
