Pebbly Beach Landfill Site Optimization

The Pebbly Beach Landfill Site Optimization project aims to extend the operational life of the landfill by approximately 27.5 years through the construction of a 20-foot-high Mechanically Stabilized Earth wall at the toe of the existing slope. Waste will be placed against this wall and graded back toward the top deck at a 2:1 slope ratio to create adequate space for a final cover system. This cover will integrate with a concrete V-ditch installed along the wall’s summit to manage and redirect surface water to existing discharge points. The project will raise the permitted height of the landfill by about 50 feet without altering its footprint, waste volume, composition, daily tonnage, or vehicular traffic. Operations at the Material Recovery Facility and composting facility will remain unchanged. The initiative is being managed by Los Angeles County Regional Planning with performance located in Avalon, California, under the ZIP code 90704. Primary contact is Tyler Montgomery, Principal Regional Planner, who can be reached via email or phone, with additional support from Jackeline Cordero, Public Works Director for the City of Avalon, and Brenda Eells of Rincon Consultants. The project was posted on July 9, 2026, as a forecast indicating future procurement activity, though no formal solicitation number or set aside status has been assigned. All efforts are focused on maximizing landfill capacity through engineering enhancements without expanding environmental or operational impacts.
