PORTABLE CRUSHING SERVICES - PORTABLE SC: Landfill in Golden, Colorado, USA

PORTABLE CRUSHING SERVICES - PORTABLE SC is a landfill facility located at 8900 CO-93 UNIT A in Golden, Colorado, within Jefferson County. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 212321 (Construction Sand and Gravel Mining) and 562212 (Solid Waste Landfill), indicating a dual role in construction materials processing and waste disposal. As a landfill in the United States, this facility operates under the regulatory framework of the 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. Colorado's solid waste regulations align with federal standards, requiring liners, leachate collection systems, and groundwater monitoring to protect environmental and public health. The facility's location in Golden, near the Denver metropolitan area, places it in a region with growing waste management needs. Its portable crushing services suggest a focus on construction and demolition debris processing, which helps divert materials from traditional disposal and supports local recycling efforts. The landfill's role in managing waste from construction activities contributes to the circular economy by recovering aggregates and reducing landfill volume.

Landfills in Colorado face specific environmental challenges due to the state's varied climate and geology. The facility's proximity to the Rocky Mountain foothills may influence groundwater dynamics and leachate management. Methane generation from decomposing waste is a key concern, and the site likely employs gas collection systems to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Leachate control is critical to prevent contamination of local water resources, especially given the area's seasonal precipitation patterns. Community proximity and truck traffic are additional factors that require careful operational planning.
