C&C Landfill - Marshall, Michigan Solid Waste Management Facility

C&C Landfill is a solid waste management facility located at 14800 P Drive North in Marshall, Calhoun County, Michigan, United States. Operated by Republic Services, Inc., one of the largest waste management companies in the country, this landfill has been in operation since 1970 and is projected to remain open until 2090. It serves the local community and surrounding areas, providing essential waste disposal services. As a Subtitle D municipal solid waste landfill under the U.S. EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), C&C Landfill is subject to federal regulations governing landfill design, operation, and closure. These include requirements for liner systems, leachate collection and treatment, groundwater monitoring, and landfill gas management. The facility likely employs modern engineering controls to mitigate environmental impacts, such as gas collection systems to capture methane for energy generation or flaring. The landfill plays a significant role in the region's waste management infrastructure, handling substantial tonnages of municipal solid waste annually. Its long operational lifespan and large capacity indicate it is a major disposal site for the area. Proper management of leachate and landfill gas is critical to protecting local groundwater and air quality, especially given the agricultural and residential context of Calhoun County.

C&C Landfill is situated in a rural area of Calhoun County, Michigan, where groundwater resources are important for local agriculture and drinking water. The facility's leachate management system is critical to prevent contamination of the underlying aquifer. Additionally, landfill gas, primarily methane, must be captured to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and odor impacts on nearby communities. The proximity to residential areas and local roads also necessitates careful traffic management and dust control.
