Consider Alternative Proposal for Disposal of West
Ventura County Solid Waste
Ay 27, the Ventura County Waste Commission called a special
ing to hear a proposal developed by Councilmember Campbell from
more regarding future disposal of west Ventura County waste.
cilmember Campbell's proposal includes postponing any decision
?eldon Canyon to allow for additional time to identify and
uate alternative landfill sites. In addition, the proposal
mmends denying VRSD's request for a extension for the operation
he Bailard Landfill in Oxnard, which would mean that Bailard
d close in December 1993.
Closing the Bailard Landfill and postponing the Weldon Canyon
pro ect leaves the west County without a landfill, with the
exception of Toland Landfill that is only permitted to take 135
ton per day. Since the west County needs disposal capacity for
approximately 2,500 tons per day, it must rely on another facility.
Cou cilmember Campbell's original proposal suggested that west
Cou ty waste could be transported to the Simi Valley Landfill. The
Sim Valley Landfill is permitted to receive 3000 tons per day, but
curl,
ur ents receives approximately 900 tons per day. The landfill is
per itted to receive refuse for another 12 years and the permit
cou d be extended. While feasible from the landfill capacity
per pective, transporting west County waste to the Simi Valley
Lan fill would significantly increase truck traffic on the 118 and
23 freeways.
