Description: The proposed new permit would consolidate two existing permits into a single permit. Currently, two landfills that are now separately permitted by the local enforcement agencies in the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles operate at the site. Sunshine Canyon Landfill straddles the boundary between the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. Because of the jurisdictional divide, the landfill is permitted and operated as two separate landfills. This permit proposal would allow the landfill operator to combine the two landfills into a single landfill after the operator obtains any necessary approvals from other public agencies.

More information: A copy of the permitting documents are available at the Granada Hills Library and the Southern California CIWMB office (located at 320 West 4th Street, Suite 670, Los Angeles). Also visit the CIWMB’s website on the project and the permit process.

Appeals: For information on the appeals process pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 44307 after the decision to issue or deny the proposed permit (tentatively scheduled for June 2008), please see the Sunshine Canyon Permit Process webpage.

Note: This meeting is neither sponsored by nor is it in any way connected to the Los Angeles Unified School District.
