1. Sunshine Canyon Landfill Odor Mitigation and Monitoring Project
This section provides information on the topic of the landfill odor issue. Below are a compilation of documents that will provide an overview of the ongoing activities. The following documents are provided in the "Attachments" section below:
SCL LEA Mitigation Odor Mitigation Technical Data and Analysis File (2017) (Note: This files contains the data and analysis that the SCL LEA utilized to evaluate the impact of the mitigation measures, The file is accessible via the link below (see "3" below, which also has the various references and other files related to odor mitigation), or this data file can be accessed directly by the following link: 2. Sunshine Canyon Landfill Mitigation Monitoring Project The SCL LEA compiles and updates the compliance status of the various conditions (including enforcement orders) that have been imposed upon the siting, permitting, and operations of the landfill. The SCL LEA has developed a database to track the various conditions. A summary listing of the conditions that have been imposed on the landfill is provided in the "Attachments" section below.

SCL Request for Emergency Waiver (Impact of COVID-19) and SCL LEA Approval of Waiver California Governor Gavin Newson in Executive Order N-25-20 proclaimed a State of Emergency on March 12, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 threat. Pursuant to CalRecycle's guidance and SCL LEA's concurrence, Sunshine Canyon Landfill requested a temporary Emergency Waiver of Standards in order to properly manage the waste stream generated during the COVID-19 State of Emergency. A copy of the request of the waiver and a copy of the SCL LEA approval is available by clicking on the document below. 6. Sunshine Canyon Landfill Odor Mitigation Case Study and the NASA and Jet Propulsion Laboratory Methane Source Finder Project on Methane Emission from Landfills The SCL LEA team authored an article regarding the the SCL Odor Mitigation Case Study and the NASA/JPL collaborative effort with the SCL LEA. The article was published in MSW Management Magazine, and the link is provided below:  Magazine Version: http://digital.mswmanagement.com/publication/?m=3927&i=678795&p=18 Online Version: https://www.mswmanagement.com/landfills/odor-dust-control/article/21157296/when-viewed-from-space ****************************** The SCL LEA will upload documents related to the odor issue periodically so that the public and other interested parties can be kept current as much as possible.
