Mono County Coleville Landfill - Bridgeport, California Solid Waste Facility

Mono County Coleville Landfill is an operational solid waste facility located in Bridgeport, California, within Mono County. The landfill serves the local community, managing municipal solid waste in a rural, high-altitude region of the Eastern Sierra Nevada. As a landfill operating in the United States, this facility is subject to federal regulations under the US EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D, which governs municipal solid waste landfills. Additionally, California's stringent state-level environmental standards apply, including landfill gas management and groundwater monitoring requirements. The facility's NAICS code 562212 indicates it is a solid waste landfill. The landfill plays a key role in waste management for Mono County, a sparsely populated area with significant natural landscapes. Proper operation is essential to minimize environmental impacts such as methane emissions and leachate generation, particularly given the region's proximity to groundwater sources and sensitive ecosystems.

The landfill is situated in a rural, high-altitude area of the Eastern Sierra Nevada, where groundwater resources are critical for local communities and ecosystems. Landfill gas management, including methane capture, is important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Leachate control is necessary to prevent contamination of nearby water bodies. The facility's location away from dense urban centers reduces community proximity risks, but traffic from waste hauling remains a consideration.
