The landfill would receive 20,000 tons of garbage a day, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for 117 years. Garbage would be hauled to this desert site daily by seven mile-long double-decker trains and 200 trash trucks. The project would include landfill gas flaring equipment, rock crushing and screening equipment, separate rail and truck yards and fueling areas, storage sites for hazardous waste, and settling basins. Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts has agreed to purchase the landfill from Kaiser, once all legal challenges to it are resolved, to dispose of garbage from several southern California counties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Please visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npca.org\/take_action\/action_alerts\/ActionAlert.asp?strAction=link&#038;lngAlertID=415\" target=\"_blank\">site<\/a>, and if possible, take action to save this valuable climbing resource.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Parks Conservation Association has an action alert regarding the Eagle Mountain Landfill.
