Crowder Excavating C&D Landfill - Tallahassee, Florida Solid Waste Facility

Crowder Excavating C&D Landfill is a solid waste management facility located in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. The facility operates as a landfill specifically permitted for construction and demolition (C&D) debris, serving the local community and construction industry. As a C&D landfill, it accepts non-hazardous waste from building and demolition activities, playing a key role in the region's waste management infrastructure. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA RCRA Subtitle D, which governs municipal solid waste landfills, including C&D landfills. Compliance with state and federal regulations ensures proper waste containment and environmental protection. The landfill's NAICS code 562212 indicates it is classified as a solid waste landfill, subject to Florida Department of Environmental Protection oversight. Environmental management at C&D landfills focuses on controlling leachate and preventing groundwater contamination. The facility's location in Tallahassee, with its humid subtropical climate, requires careful management of stormwater and leachate to protect local water resources. Proper operation of the landfill contributes to the community's waste disposal needs while minimizing environmental impact.

The landfill operates in Florida's humid subtropical climate, where high rainfall increases leachate generation and requires robust containment systems. Groundwater protection is critical due to the region's high water table and proximity to the Floridan Aquifer. Proper management of landfill gas, though less significant for C&D waste, and dust control are important for nearby communities.
