“Chiquita Canyon attorneys express concern over AQMD abatement modifications”

Waste Connections attorneys have criticized the proposed modification order from the South Coast Air Quality Management District to install remote monitoring systems for approximately 240 gas collection wells at Chiquita Canyon Landfill. 
 
Megan Morgan of Beveridge & Diamond, attorney for landfill operator Waste Connections, stated during the AQMD hearing on Tuesday morning that imposing a requirement to install monitoring systems on all the landfill’s gas collection wells within the initial chemical reaction area would strain Chiquita Canyon Landfill’s ability to meet the deadline to complete the West Toe excavation project.
