The landfill operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste and Clean Air Act requirements for landfill gas management. As a landfill in California, it is also subject to state-specific regulations under CalRecycle and local air quality management districts, which enforce stringent standards for methane capture and leachate control.

Its location in the San Francisco Bay Area places it in a region with high environmental oversight, where landfill gas collection and groundwater monitoring are critical for minimizing environmental impact.

Landfills in the San Francisco Bay Area, like HORST HANF, face significant environmental scrutiny due to methane emissions and leachate generation. The facility's proximity to groundwater and residential areas necessitates robust gas collection systems and leachate management to prevent air and water pollution. California's stringent regulations under AB 32 and the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy require landfills to reduce methane emissions, often through gas-to-energy projects or flaring.
