KIRKLAND CSWLF Landfill - Kirkland, Arizona Solid Waste Management Facility

KIRKLAND CSWLF is a landfill facility located in Kirkland, Arizona, within Yavapai County. The facility is operational and handles solid waste disposal for the local community. As a landfill, it plays a key role in the region's waste management infrastructure. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, specifically RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act landfill gas rules. These regulations govern landfill design, operation, and closure, including requirements for liner systems, leachate management, and gas collection. The NAICS code 562212 indicates it is classified as a solid waste landfill. Environmental considerations for this facility include landfill gas generation and methane leakage, leachate management to protect groundwater, and proximity to the community. The facility's location in a rural area of Arizona may influence its environmental impact and operational practices.

The Kirkland area is characterized by a semi-arid climate, which can affect leachate generation rates and landfill gas production. Groundwater protection is a key concern, as landfills must manage leachate to prevent contamination of local aquifers. Community proximity and traffic from waste hauling are additional environmental factors. The facility's compliance with EPA regulations helps mitigate these risks.
