Landfills in Los Angeles County operate in a semi-arid climate with Mediterranean characteristics, where groundwater recharge is limited.

Leachate management is critical to prevent contamination of local groundwater resources, which are already stressed in Southern California. Traffic from waste hauling vehicles also contributes to local air quality concerns.
