VESTRA has provided engineering and permitting support to Modoc County for the last three years, and our staff have provided that support for more than nine years. This work has included closure documents design and related permitting for the Fort Bidwell, Alturas, Cedarville, and Lake City Landfill.

Fort Bidwell is a 12.8-acre facility located in Modoc County currently operating as a waste transfer station. Landfill operations ceased in 1993. VESTRA staff prepared a Final Closure Plan and Post Closure Maintenance Plan. The project also included preparing construction plans and specifications and a Construction Quality Assurance Plan, as well as providing bidding assistance to Modoc County.

The Alturas Landfill is located in Modoc County just south of the City of Alturas and is owned and operated by the County. Beginning March 1, 1995, municipal solid waste from Modoc County was transported to Lockwood, Nevada. The County constructed a transfer station at the site in March 1995. The landfill is a Class III municipal solid waste landfill facility as defined by Title 27.

VESTRA staff prepared all the documents for landfill permit compliance, reversed the determination of releases allowing the landfill to remain open, prepared the Closure and Post Closure Maintenance Plan and Construction Quality Assurance Plan, Stormwater and Erosion Management Plan, and numerous hydrologic investigation documents pursuant to Title 27 for site closure.
