The facility is classified under NAICS code 562212, which covers solid waste landfills. As a landfill in the United States, Organ Pipe Monument CSWLF operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act regulations for landfill gas management. The facility is situated in a rural desert environment, which influences its operational practices, particularly regarding leachate management and groundwater protection.
