Saticoy County 1962 Landfill - Ventura, California Solid Waste Management Facility

Saticoy County 1962 is an operational landfill located at 1001 Partridge Dr, Ventura, California, in Ventura County. As a landfill facility, it plays a key role in the region's solid waste disposal infrastructure, handling municipal solid waste from the surrounding communities. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA's RCRA Subtitle D, which governs municipal solid waste landfills, and complies with California's stringent environmental standards. The landfill's technical operations include waste placement, compaction, and daily cover, along with systems for leachate management and landfill gas collection. These systems are designed to mitigate environmental impacts such as groundwater contamination and methane emissions. The facility's NAICS code 562212 indicates it is specifically focused on solid waste landfill operations, a critical component of the waste management hierarchy. Located in Ventura County, the landfill serves a region with a mix of urban and agricultural land uses. Its operational status ensures ongoing waste disposal capacity for local communities, while its environmental controls align with state and federal requirements to minimize ecological footprint. The facility's long-term role in the community includes post-closure care and monitoring, typical for modern landfills in the United States.

Landfills like Saticoy County 1962 must manage landfill gas, primarily methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Gas collection systems are typically installed to capture methane for energy recovery or flaring. Leachate, formed when rainwater percolates through waste, requires careful collection and treatment to prevent groundwater contamination. Proximity to communities and traffic from waste hauling are additional environmental considerations, often addressed through buffer zones and operational controls.
