Nestled among the windmill-doted hills of the Altamont Pass, the landfill blends into the surrounding grasslands. A modern landfill, the Altamont is engineered to protect the air, surface and groundwater. It utilizes state-of-the-art liners, leachate collection, groundwater monitoring and extensive landfill gas collection and control systems. The Altamont meets or exceeds all federal, state, and local regulations.
