Belmont Shores Mobile Home Estates Landfill - Long Beach, California Solid Waste Management

Belmont Shores Mobile Home Estates is a landfill facility located at 6230 E Marina View Dr, Long Beach, California, within Los Angeles County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 562212 (Solid Waste Landfill) and 721211 (RV Parks and Recreational Camps), indicating a combined waste management and residential service role. As a landfill in California, the facility operates under the U.S. EPA's RCRA Subtitle D regulations for municipal solid waste landfills, which govern liner systems, leachate management, and groundwater monitoring. California also enforces stringent state-level landfill gas collection and methane reduction rules under the California Air Resources Board (CARB), aligning with the Clean Air Act's landfill gas emission guidelines. The facility's location in Long Beach, near the coast, raises environmental considerations typical for landfills: leachate management to protect groundwater and nearby water bodies, and landfill gas control to minimize methane leakage. Its proximity to residential areas also necessitates careful traffic and odor management. The facility contributes to regional solid waste disposal capacity in the densely populated Los Angeles area.

The landfill's coastal location in Long Beach requires robust leachate management to prevent groundwater contamination, given the high water table and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Methane capture and flaring or energy recovery systems are critical to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in line with California's aggressive climate goals. Community proximity also demands effective odor control and traffic management to minimize local impacts.
