“We are pleased with today’s court ruling which will allow Chiquita Canyon to continue to play its critical role as part of the County’s solid waste disposal systems. As the EPA and other regulatory agencies have concurred, the landfill’s regular, waste disposal operations are not affecting or contributing to the elevated temperature landfill event (ELTF) occurring at Chiquita Canyon. Chiquita Canyon continues to work diligently every day, and in cooperation with our regulators and authorities, to implement extensive odor mitigation measures at the landfill to reduce impacts on the local community. Residents most adjacent to the landfill are eligible to participate in the Chiquita Landfill Community Relief program which provides funds.”
