Pumice Valley Landfill Air Curtain Burner

The Pumice Valley Landfill Air Curtain Burner project, managed by the Mono County Department of Public Works, involves the installation and operation of an air curtain burner at the Pumice Valley Landfill located at 200 Dross Rd, Lee Vining, California. The project focuses on burning organic green wood material and clean wood waste collected from residents creating fire-safe breaks and community fire-safe clean-up events. The equipment will be placed on landfill property that is devoid of vegetation, and the project is designed to avoid any expansion of the existing facility. The operation is governed by a permit from the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District, which has determined that the project does not create a major source of air pollution or violate Clean Air Act standards. The site is strategically located with the nearest receptor 1.1 miles away and the nearest community or school 7.8 miles away. Administrative oversight is led by Chad Senior, Director of Public Works, and the project is classified as exempt from CEQA under Section 15301 Class 1 Categorical Exemption. Payments for the project are directed to the Mono County Clerk in Bridgeport, California.
