NEW CURE, INC. Landfill - Monterey Park, California Solid Waste Management Facility

NEW CURE, INC. is a landfill facility located at 2550 Greenwood Ave, Monterey Park, California, within Los Angeles County. The facility is operational and handles solid waste disposal for the surrounding region. As a landfill, it plays a key role in the waste management infrastructure of Southern California. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D, which governs municipal solid waste landfills, and the Clean Air Act (CAA) for landfill gas emissions. California's stringent state regulations further enforce leachate management, groundwater monitoring, and methane gas collection to minimize environmental impact. The NAICS codes associated with the facility (562211, 562212, 562213, 562910) indicate activities including hazardous waste treatment and disposal, solid waste landfill, and remediation services. Given its location in a densely populated urban area, the facility's environmental significance includes managing landfill gas to reduce methane emissions and protecting groundwater from leachate. Proximity to communities necessitates careful traffic management and odor control. The facility contributes to regional waste diversion and disposal capacity, supporting Los Angeles County's waste management needs.

Located in the Los Angeles Basin, the facility operates in a region with high population density and significant waste generation. Key environmental concerns for landfills in this area include methane leakage from decomposing waste, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, and leachate management to prevent groundwater contamination. The facility's proximity to residential areas also raises considerations for truck traffic and air quality. California's regulatory framework mandates landfill gas collection systems and groundwater monitoring to mitigate these risks.
