Postclosure Uses

Landfills can undergo significant postclosure land uses (PCLU) once the final cover is installed and the landfill is certified as “closed.”

PCLUs can encompass uses from golf courses, recreational parks, and habitat, to business parks, retail sites, and energy generation resources. 

Examples:

• Colma Landfill: Parking structure on landfill.
• Shoreline Landfill: Amphitheater, park, and golf course with clubhouse, boathouse, and lake and recreational areas.
• Lopez Canyon Landfill: Municipal uses including heliport and microturbine power field.
