Halison Company Landfill - Los Angeles County, California Solid Waste Management

Halison Company is a landfill facility located in Los Angeles County, California, United States. As a solid waste management site, it handles municipal solid waste disposal for the surrounding region. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 562212, which covers solid waste landfills. Operating in California, Halison Company must comply with the US EPA's RCRA Subtitle D regulations for municipal solid waste landfills, as well as the Clean Air Act's landfill gas rules. California's stringent environmental standards further govern leachate management, groundwater monitoring, and methane gas collection to minimize environmental impact. The landfill plays a critical role in managing waste from the Los Angeles metropolitan area, one of the largest urban centers in the United States. Its operations are subject to community proximity and traffic considerations, typical for landfills in densely populated regions. Proper gas collection and leachate control are essential to reduce methane emissions and protect local groundwater resources.

Los Angeles County has a Mediterranean climate with low annual rainfall, which reduces leachate generation compared to wetter regions. However, the area's high population density means the landfill is near residential communities, requiring careful management of odors, traffic, and gas emissions. Groundwater protection is critical due to the region's reliance on local aquifers. Landfill gas collection systems are typically required to mitigate methane leakage, a potent greenhouse gas.
