JOINT TECHNICAL DOCUMENT, MSW LANDFILL B-19, KETTLEMAN HILLS FACILITY, KINGS COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), Vol 1, 122 pp, 2016
This document has been prepared to describe the design and operation of a portion of the Kettleman Hills facility—the Landfill B-19 Bioreactor—and to reflect its decommissioning. The anaerobic bioreactor operated within an 18.23-acre portion of B-19 and accepted liquid waste from 2008 to 2014. Nearly 4 million gal of non-hazardous liquid waste was placed in the B-19 bioreactor with no substantial change in leachate generation. The Class II/III waste footprint comprises (1) a bioreactor unit, to which liquids and high liquid content wastes were added as a beneficial use to enhance waste decomposition, and (2) a control unit to which liquids and high liquid content wastes are not added. The Landfill B19 Bioreactor Research Demonstration and Development (RD&D) Project ended September 15, 2014. Landfill B-19 is permitted to operate as a Class II/III landfill, but select monitoring and reporting activities for the Landfill B19 Bioreactor RD&D Project will be discontinued. https://clu-in.org/download/techfocus/bioreactors/BL-B19_Kettleman-Hills_2016.pdf
