Present Land Use
The General Plan designation of the site for the proposed project is Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste. The site is surrounded by General Agriculture zoning AG-40. Solid waste disposal on the site is conditional use with the site's AG-40 zoning. The closest non-agricultural area is Kettleman City, located 3.5 miles northeast of KHF. Kettleman City includes residential, commercial, and industrial land uses.
Document Description
The proposed project will consist of creating an anaerobic bioreactor within an existing municipal solid waste landfill located at the Kettleman Hills Facility and will require a new Conditional Use Permit from Kings County (Conditional Use Permit No. 03-06). The landfill, identified as B-19, was converted in November 1998 from a hazardous waste landfill to municipal solid waste landfill with a gross capacity of 4.4 million cubic yards. Liquids will be introduced into Class II / III waste in the proposed bioreactor cell to accelerate waste decomposition.
In addition to the anaerobic bioreactor cell, the hours of waste acceptance are proposed to be changed to include Saturday from 8:00am to 6:00pm and the tonnage limit for landfill B-19 is proposed to be increased from 1,400 tons per day (tpd) to 2,000 tpd of municipal solid waste. Also proposed is the receipt of up to 800 tpd of liquids and high-moisture content waste to be utilized in the bioreactor. Class II/Class III soils and waste materials received for beneficial use will not be included in the requested tonnage limits.
