Crittenden County Landfill - Marion, Arkansas Solid Waste Management Facility

Crittenden County Landfill is an operational solid waste facility located at 1299 Kuhn Rd, Marion, Arkansas, in the United States. It serves Crittenden County and the surrounding region, providing essential waste disposal services. As a landfill, it plays a key role in the local solid waste management infrastructure. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act regulations for landfill gas. These regulations mandate proper liner systems, leachate management, and gas collection to minimize environmental impact. The landfill's NAICS codes (212321 and 562212) indicate it handles both construction and demolition waste and solid waste disposal. Crittenden County Landfill contributes to the community by offering a designated site for waste disposal, reducing illegal dumping and promoting public health. Its location in the Mississippi River Delta region means groundwater protection is a key environmental consideration, with leachate management systems in place to prevent contamination.

The landfill is situated in the Mississippi River Delta region, where high water tables and proximity to the Mississippi River necessitate robust leachate management to prevent groundwater contamination. Methane generation from decomposing waste is a concern, and the facility likely employs gas collection systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with EPA regulations. Community proximity and truck traffic are additional factors that require careful operational planning.
