Hogg Bros Manufacturing Sludge Composting is a landfill facility located in San Bernardino County, California, United States. The facility is operational and falls under NAICS code 562212, which covers solid waste landfills. The facility operates within California's stringent regulatory framework for solid waste management. The facility is subject to US EPA regulations under RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act rules for landfill gas emissions. California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) enforces additional state-level requirements, including landfill gas monitoring and leachate management. The facility likely employs standard landfill practices such as waste compaction, daily cover, and gas collection systems. As a landfill in the Mojave Desert region, the facility's environmental context includes arid conditions with low rainfall, which reduces leachate generation but increases dust management challenges. Proximity to sensitive ecosystems and groundwater resources requires careful monitoring. The facility serves the local community by managing solid waste in a region with growing population and industrial activity.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the Mojave Desert, an arid region with low precipitation and high evaporation rates, which reduces leachate generation but increases potential for dust and air emissions. Groundwater resources in the area are limited and sensitive to contamination, necessitating robust leachate management and monitoring systems. The facility's proximity to natural habitats and communities requires careful management of landfill gas, odor, and traffic impacts.
Frequently asked questions
The facility is located in San Bernardino County, California, United States, in the Mojave Desert region.
As a landfill facility, it accepts solid waste, likely including municipal solid waste and sludge from manufacturing processes, as indicated by its name.
The facility operates under US EPA RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act rules for landfill gas. California state regulations from CalRecycle also apply, including landfill gas monitoring and leachate management.
Landfill gas, primarily methane, is typically collected via a gas extraction system and either flared or used for energy recovery, in compliance with EPA and California Air Resources Board requirements.
In arid regions like the Mojave Desert, landfills face challenges such as dust control and limited water for compaction. However, low rainfall reduces leachate generation, though groundwater protection remains critical.
