Laytonville Landfill Cover Remediation and Improvements Project

The Laytonville Landfill Cover Remediation and Improvements Project is a Mendocino County Department of Transportation initiative focused on infrastructure improvements at the closed Laytonville Landfill located at 1825 Branscomb Road. The scope of work includes reconstructing a portion of the landfill's final cover, relocating a landfill gas monitoring probe and a piezometer, and installing a new groundwater monitoring well. The project received formal approval from the County of Mendocino on October 7, 2025, following a CEQA review that resulted in a Negative Declaration, confirming that no significant environmental effects are expected and no mitigation measures are required. Construction activities are projected to span approximately 16 weeks, with a work schedule consisting of five days per week, Monday through Friday. Daily operations are expected to last up to 10 hours, specifically from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. While the project is categorized under NAICS code 237990, specific details regarding the contract value, solicitation number, and formal evaluation factors for award are not provided in the current documentation. Alex Straessle serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
