About This Facility
Description
Geer Road SLF is a closed public landfill located in Modesto, Stanislaus, California. It has been in operation since 1970. The facility is projected to close in 1990. As of 1990, the facility holds approximately 4,984,513 tons of waste in place — approximately 100% of its total permitted capacity. Its total design capacity is 4,984,513 tons. The annual waste acceptance rate is approximately 51,818 tons per year. The site covers approximately 144 acres. The facility operates a landfill gas collection system, and has an low potential landfill gas-to-energy project. Capturing landfill gas reduces greenhouse gas emissions and, in many cases, generates clean renewable energy.

As of 1990, Geer Road SLF has approximately 4,984,513 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 4,984,513 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 100% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 51,818 tons of waste per year based on the most recent annual data. At the current rate of fill, the facility is projected to reach capacity and close around 1990.
Geer Road SLF has an LFG energy project with a current status of 'Low Potential'. The facility generates approximately 0.6 mmscfd of landfill gas. Landfill gas recovery projects capture methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and in many cases generating electricity or other usable energy.
Geer Road SLF currently covers approximately 144 acres. The facility opened in 1970 and has been in continuous operation since then. The design specifications call for a total area of 168 acres. The size of a landfill reflects both its operational history and the volume of waste it has processed over its lifetime of service to the surrounding community.
Geer Road SLF has an active landfill gas (LFG) collection system in place. The facility generates approximately 0.6 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of landfill gas. Of that, approximately 0.5 mmscfd is collected by the system. The gas contains approximately 33.9% methane, which can be captured for energy generation. The facility operates 108 gas collection wells. Flares are in place at this facility. LFG collection reduces greenhouse gas emissions and, in some cases, generates renewable energy for the grid.
Geer Road SLF participates in the following environmental programs: an LFG energy project with status 'Low Potential' is associated with this site. These initiatives help reduce the environmental footprint of landfill operations by capturing resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and diverting material from direct disposal. Contact the facility or its operator for more details on current environmental compliance status.
