WIESCAMP PROP Landfill - Alamosa County, Colorado Solid Waste Management

WIESCAMP PROP is a landfill facility located in Alamosa County, Colorado, United States. It serves the local area for solid waste disposal and is classified under NAICS code 562212 for Solid Waste Landfill. The facility is operational and contributes to the region's waste management infrastructure. As a landfill in the United States, WIESCAMP PROP operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act regulations for landfill gas emissions. Typical landfill operations involve waste compaction, daily cover, and systems for leachate collection and gas management to mitigate environmental impacts. The facility's location in Colorado's San Luis Valley places it in a semi-arid region with sensitive groundwater resources. Proper leachate management and landfill gas control are critical to protecting local water quality and reducing methane emissions. The landfill plays a key role in managing the community's waste while adhering to federal and state environmental standards.

The landfill is situated in Alamosa County, Colorado, within the San Luis Valley, a high-altitude desert basin with shallow groundwater aquifers. The arid climate reduces leachate generation but increases the importance of dust control and gas collection to minimize methane leakage. Proximity to agricultural areas and the Rio Grande River requires careful monitoring of groundwater and surface water impacts. Community proximity and truck traffic are also considerations for local air quality and noise.
