Closed, Illegal and Abandoned (CIA) Disposal Sites

Alternatives to Clean Closure/Scope Remedial Measures to Meet State Minimum Standards

Title 27, Chapter 3, Subchapter 4, Article 3, Section 20750 of the California Code of Regulations states:

"The operator shall implement a preventative maintenance program to monitor and promptly repair or correct deteriorated or defective conditions with respect to requirements of the California Integrated Waste Management Board standards, and conditions established by the enforcement agency. All other aspects of the disposal site shall be kept in a state of reasonable repair."

Minimum standards have be established for the following:

1. Cover Maintenance
2. Landfill Gas Monitoring and Control
3. Drainage and Erosion Control
4. Site Security
