Pine Hollow Landfill - Phenix City, Alabama Solid Waste Management Facility

Pine Hollow Landfill is an operational solid waste facility located at 18 Old Brickyard Rd, Phenix City, Alabama, in Russell County. As a landfill, it serves the local community by managing municipal solid waste in accordance with federal and state regulations. The facility operates under the US EPA's RCRA Subtitle D, which governs municipal solid waste landfills, and the Clean Air Act's landfill gas emission standards. These regulations require proper liner systems, leachate management, and gas collection to minimize environmental impact. The landfill's NAICS codes (212325, 212399, 562212) indicate involvement in clay mining, other nonmetallic mineral mining, and solid waste landfill operations. Pine Hollow Landfill plays a key role in the region's waste management infrastructure, providing disposal capacity for Phenix City and surrounding areas. Its operational status ensures continued service, while compliance with environmental regulations helps mitigate risks such as groundwater contamination and methane emissions.

The landfill's location in Russell County, Alabama, places it in a region with a humid subtropical climate, which can increase leachate generation and require robust management systems. Proximity to groundwater resources necessitates careful monitoring to prevent contamination. Methane emissions from decomposing waste are a concern, but modern gas collection systems can capture methane for energy or flaring, reducing greenhouse gas impact.
