Permit to Merge Landfill Operations Is Denied
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The county Regional Planning Commission voted Wednesday to deny a new permit that would allow the county and city sides of Sunshine Canyon Landfill to operate as one dump.
The final decision, which Browning-Ferris Industries is likely to appeal to the Board of Supervisors, means the landfill will continue operating under separate permits and conditions.
Panel members voiced concerns about the lack of deadlines for closing the landfill and about its negative impact on traffic.
