Mojave-Rosamond SLF

As of 2008, Mojave-Rosamond SLF has approximately 979,470 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 45,000,000 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 2% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 11,400 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 2123.0.

Mojave-Rosamond SLF has an LFG energy project with a current status of 'Future Potential'. The facility generates approximately 0.1 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.

Mojave-Rosamond SLF currently covers approximately 27 acres with a depth of approximately 40 feet. The facility opened in 1973 and has been in continuous operation since then. The design specifications call for a total area of 253 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.

Mojave-Rosamond SLF does not currently have an active landfill gas collection system. Landfill gas is produced naturally as organic waste decomposes underground. Facilities without active collection systems may use passive venting to manage gas migration. Future LFG collection projects may be considered as the volume of waste in place increases.

Mojave-Rosamond SLF participates in the following environmental programs: an LFG energy project with status 'Future 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.
