This data layer identifies all inactive landfills in New York State with known locations.Service is updated as needed and was last updated on 1/34/2023For more information see https://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/8495.html

This dataset is currently updated every 6 months. Data on landfill sites that are surrendered or revoked will move from the Authorised Landfill Layer but may not be updated into this dataset on the same frequency.

This data is a national historic landfill dataset that defines the location of and provides specific attributes for known historic landfill sites. An historic landfill is a site where there is no environmental permit in force. The Environment Agency is not the regulator for historic landfills. The dataset includes sites that existed before landfills were regulated. Much of this pre-licensing data was derived from a national survey in the early 1990s so it may be incomplete. It also includes sites that were licensed (permitted) where that licence is no longer in force, in accordance with the legislation at the time. The Historic Landfill dataset includes information that is held by either the local authority or the Environment Agency. The data is available in ESRI shape file format, with the boundaries digitised from a base scale of 1:10,000 and an associated attribute table comprising 34 fields. Where information is available, the polygons and attributes describe where the sites were located, when they were used, who used them and what was deposited. Where sites were licensed, there are name and address fields, licensee and operator information, licence issue and surrender dates, first and last input dates and waste types, together with some historical comments. Where an attribute is incomplete, that detail is not available.

Prior to the use of the Cerro Colorado Landfill, the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County and private landowners operated several other landfills in and around Albuquerque. Though these landfills are now closed and have not accepted trash for some time, there is still a great deal of action taking place onsite. Landfills located in arid climates such as Albuquerque’s can create landfill gas for decades after being closed. These gases along with other products of decomposing landfills are potentially explosive and can impact water quality and health in addition to creating strong odors.

The Environmental Services Division within the Environmental Health Department monitors these older landfills for gas generation, gas migration and groundwater contamination. Additionally, the Environmental Services Division recommends safety measures for development on and near these closed landfills (see Interim Guidelines for Development near Landfills).

The Environmental Services Division works with the City of Albuquerque Planning Department to ensure that areas near old landfills are developed safely according to the guidelines. The Environmental Services Division also initiates remediation work for landfills that pose a risk. Some of these remediation measures include groundwater treatment and landfill gas collection.

The map below provides locations of all known closed landfills in the Albuquerque metro area. The map also provides the buffer zones for all of these landfills. Each individual landfill can be selected for more information about the selected landfill. Contact information is provided for landfills that are not managed by the City of Albuquerque, Environmental Health Department.

Under the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 Local Planning Authorities have to consult with the Environment Agency about all applications they receive to develop land within 250 metres of landfill sites (including any land that has been used as a landfill site within the past 30 years or is likely to be used as one in the near future). The Historic Landfill dataset was created to help fulfil our statutory responsibility to Local Planning Authorities by supplying information on the risks posed by landfill sites for development within 250m. The data is the most comprehensive and consistent national historic landfill dataset and defines the location of, and provides specific attributes for, known historic (closed) landfill sites, i.e. sites where there is no PPC permit or waste management licence currently in force. This includes sites that existed before the waste licensing regime and sites that have been licensed in the past but where this licence has been revoked, ceased to exist or surrendered and a certificate of completion has been issued. Historic Landfill includes all relevant historic information for the sites that both local authorities and the Environment Agency have collected over the yearsAdditional Links:DEFRA Data Services Platform - containing download linksHistoric Landfill WMSHistoric Landfill WFS

This data set represents the location of sites within New Jersey that are regulated by the New Jersey Solid Waste Management Act at N.J.S.A. 13:1E-1 et seq., appropriate parts of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) codified at 40 C.F.R., the New Jersey Comprehensive Regulated Medical Waste Management Act at N.J.S.A. 13:1E-48.1 et seq, and the New Jersey Statewide Mandatory Source Separation and Recycling Act at N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11 et seq. The Division of Sustainable Waste Management regulates safe management of solid waste, RCRA hazardous waste, regulated medical waste (RMW), and recycling of source separated recyclable materials through guidance, technical assistance, regulations, permits, approvals, environmental monitoring, compliance evaluation and enforcement. Waste types handled at these facilities include solid waste types specified at N.J.A.C 7:26-2.13(g), hazardous waste types specified at 40 C.F.R. part 261 subparts A through D, and RMW types (classes) specified at N.J.A.C. 7:26-3A.6(a). NJDEP is authorized by EPA to administer the federal RCRA hazardous waste program. This dataset does not include all landfills in the State of New Jersey. This extracted dataset was generated to help promote solar installations that provide economic and environmental benefits to the State of New Jersey. The dataset includes Solid Waste Landfill Sites’ locations as well as the approximate limits of the landfilled waste. The dataset is comprised of landfill extents that the Division of Sustainable Waste Management was able to map with a reasonable confidence level based on data provided by facilities/applicants. The dataset is generated in Arc/INFO based on facility address, Block and Lot information and engineering design drawings submitted as part of a facility’s application for a permit and/or approval or reports of site investigations. The dataset is intended to provide reasonable representations of landfill boundaries for planning and other purposes. Data has been updated in 2020 using ArcMap 10.5.1.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---

This dataset is used by the City of Austin to locate the buffers around landfills. Not all landfills will necessarily be included. This dataset was created in the year 2007. There are restrictions to development for properties that are within the landfills buffers. This layer represents the buffered geography around the known landfills in and around the City of Austin, Texas. Due to the uncertainty of the boundaries of the landfills; the buffers are used to regulate development in close proximity to the landfills. Areas of known landfill boundaries utilize the 200' buffer. Areas where general knowledge of the landfill location is known utilize a 1500' buffer.

The sites are primarily solid waste disposal sites, including municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste, residual solid waste, and construction and demolition debris. Some sites with hazardous waste are also included. The types of sites may include licensed landfills, landfills that existed prior to state regulatory programs, exempt waste sites, unauthorized dumps, open dumps, and disposal lagoons. Some sites in the database may have been partially or fully remediated and may no longer contain significant amounts of waste. The data are incomplete and are still in development. New locations will be added and existing locations may be corrected. This file does not include all sites regulated by Ohio EPA under other regulatory programs (e.g. there are many sites regulated under programs such as hazardous waste sites, surface water, "brownfields", etc. that are not included in this dataset). Data were developed from Ohio EPA archival files. The accuracy of the locations depends on the available information. Where possible, points were located on the actual waste unit, or within the tax parcel boundary where the waste was said to be located. Some points were located using coordinates or descriptive text in field notes, inspection reports, etc. In some cases, the best available information is the nearest intersection or an address. When possible the data were compared against local tax maps to improve the accuracy of the locations. Additional sources of information included but were not limited to newspaper archives, solid waste district plans, pollution inventories, historical societies, and local governments. The information used in this dataset come from files that date back to the late 1960s and may not represent the current site conditions. The data includes only that known to Ohio EPA's solid waste regulatory program and may not include sites that were under past authority of other regulatory agencies such as local health departments.

This data set defines both current and historic landfills/waste disposal storage sites for the State of Vermont. Historic landfills were identified with the publication of the Vermont Ground Water Pollution Source Inventory by the Agency of Environmental Conservation, Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering Water Quality Division, December 1980. Current landfill locations supplied by the Solid Waste Division of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation.This dataset includes: active landfills - currently accepting waste, geo-located; closed landfills- ceased accepting waste and completed closure under solid waste regulations (post-1988), geo-located; historic landfills - ceased accepting waste prior to solid waste regulation implementation (pre-1988), locations obtained from a 1990 Vermont Groundwater Pollution Source Inventory completed by the Department of Waster Resources and Environmental Engineering Groundwater Management Section. The listing of historic landfills is likely incomplete.

The average municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill tipping fee in the United States decreased *** percent in 2023 to **** U.S. dollars per ton. Average landfill tipping fees were highest in the Northeast, at ***** U.S. dollars per ton. U.S. landfill sites are regulated by each state’s environmental agency which, in turn, follows the guidelines set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Landfill sites in the U.S. The number of landfills in the U.S has dropped dramatically in the last few decades, to ***** units in 2018. The largest landfill site in the U.S is the Apex Regional, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. This dump site has a capacity for nearly *********** tons of waste and stretches for more than 2,000 acres. Waste generation As of 2018, MSW generation in the U.S. stood at almost *********** tons, with the average American producing roughly **** pounds of municipal solid waste per day. This is more than any other country produces worldwide. Waste generation in the U.S. has increased dramatically since the 1960s as a result of increased consumerism and a "throwaway culture".

The Pre-Regulatory Landfill (PRLF) program was established in 2007 to address pre-1983 non-industrial landfills and dumps. A pre-regulatory landfill is defined as any land area, whether publicly or privately owner, on which municipal solid waste disposal occurred prior to January 1, 1983, but not thereafter and does not include any landfill used primarily for industrial solid waste. The PRLF program conducts the assessment and remediation of these sites directly. Local governments may conduct the assessment work and seek reimbursement of expenses if the work was pre-approved by the Program.To learn more about the PRLF program, visit their website HERE

This study uses in situ measurements, satellite data, and modeling techniques to investigate methane (CH4) emissions from the Caieiras landfill in São Paulo, Brazil. Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas due to its high heating potential. Previous studies have shown that landfills can be considered the super-emitters of methane. Quantifying its emissions is essential to comprehending the emissions patterns of this emitter, promoting an improvement in data from inventories. Multiple platforms were used to obtain the data and better characterize the landfill. Satellite data from TROPOMI and EMIT were analyzed during the present study to characterize emission feathers. The results showed consistent emissions over 4 years, as shown by the inversions obtained using TROPOMI data. EMIT could identify one plume originating in the landfill dispersed over the city’s populated area. The in situ data were acquired near the Caieiras landfill using a greenhouse gas analyzer with integrated off-axis cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS), a high-precision method to measure gases in the atmosphere. Three campaigns were conducted in 2023 on February 14, July 6, and November 22. The results obtained in all three campaigns showed median concentration values above 2 ppm, reaching values close to 35 ppm. These data were integrated into the AERMOD dispersion model, combined with meteorological data, and estimated methane emission rates, revealing variability of concentrations, where emission rates were 12,974.4 kg/h, 11,284.92 kg/h and 23,472 kg/h, respectively, for 3 days of sampling. The integrated approach in this study promotes valuable insights into landfill emissions and emphasizes targeted strategies for mitigating greenhouse gases. Results support the elaboration of policies to enhance waste management and reduce the climate impact produced by waste.

This layer contains the know locations of over 400 closed municipally owned and/or operated landfills throughout the State of Maine, including a brief summary of the closure process for each. Most were unlicensed sites that threatened ground and surface water quality because of inappropriate siting, inadequate design or improper operation. In response, the Maine Legislature created the Landfill Closure and Remediation Program (38 MRS §§ 1310-C to 1310-H-1.) in 1988. Its objectives are to promptly close landfills that pose hazards to public health and the environment and to remediate hazards posed by closed municipal solid waste landfills.
