EDEN WOODURT Landfill - Pueblo County, Colorado Solid Waste Management

EDEN WOODURT is an operational landfill located 1/2 mile west of Eden, Colorado, in Pueblo County, United States. As a solid waste landfill, it is part of the country's extensive waste management infrastructure, handling municipal solid waste disposal for the surrounding region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, specifically RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills, which governs design, operation, and closure standards. It must comply with landfill gas management and leachate control requirements under the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. The NAICS code 562212 indicates it is a solid waste landfill, typically involving waste compaction, daily cover, and environmental monitoring. EDEN WOODURT plays a key role in managing waste from Pueblo County and nearby areas. Its operational status ensures continued service for local communities, while regulatory compliance helps mitigate environmental impacts such as methane emissions and groundwater contamination. The facility's location in Colorado's semi-arid climate influences leachate generation and gas collection efficiency.

The landfill's location in Colorado's semi-arid climate reduces leachate generation compared to wetter regions, but groundwater protection remains critical due to potential proximity to aquifers. Methane emissions from decomposing waste must be managed through gas collection systems to comply with EPA regulations. Community proximity and truck traffic are typical concerns for landfills, requiring proper siting and operational controls.
