Kiefer LF

As of 2022, Kiefer LF has approximately 34,481,556 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 117,420,098 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 29% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 1,132,188 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 2098.

Kiefer LF has an operational landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) project using a Reciprocating Engine system. The facility generates approximately 14.4 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of landfill gas, of which approximately 7.8 mmscfd is actively collected. The landfill gas contains approximately 43.6% methane content. The gas collection system includes 351 extraction wells. This type of project converts waste-generated methane into usable electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while generating renewable energy for the local grid.
