Synanon Foundation Inc Landfill - Marshall, California Solid Waste Management

Synanon Foundation Inc is a landfill facility located at 6055 Marshall Petaluma Rd in Marshall, California, within Marin County. The plant is operational and classified under NAICS code 562212 for solid waste landfills. It serves the local community and regional waste management needs. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act landfill gas rules. California's stringent environmental standards further govern leachate management, groundwater monitoring, and methane gas collection. Landfills of this type typically manage waste through controlled disposal and gas capture systems. As a landfill in a coastal California county, the facility must address environmental considerations such as groundwater protection, methane leakage, and community proximity. Its role in Marin County's waste management infrastructure supports local waste diversion and disposal needs, contributing to the region's solid waste management strategy.

The landfill is situated in a coastal region of California, where groundwater protection is critical due to proximity to the Pacific Ocean and local aquifers. Methane gas collection and leachate management are key operational priorities to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and prevent water contamination. Community proximity and traffic from waste hauling also influence operational practices.
