	El Sobrante landfill is tough sell to nearby residents
		The Puente Hills landfill looms behind her home in Hacienda Heights, where Los Angeles County trash is reconfiguring the landscape as it fills the canyons of the grassy hillside.
		Puente Hills is cited as the best example -- a dump that will be roughly the same size, taking roughly the same amount of trash, with the same kind of residential and commercial development that someday is expected to surround El Sobrante.
		Puente Hills might be a closer match for El Sobrante than the Ontario dump, which is surrounded by booming airport-area industrial development.

	Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: Clean Fuels Facility
		In the 1980's the Districts began collecting landfill gas at Puente Hills Landfill, one of the largest landfills in the country, to reduce air emissions and limit gas migration through the soil.
		Powering landfill equipment and refuse trucks with compressed natural gas has the added benefit of proximity — fuel does not have to be hauled in from offsite, and visiting refuse trucks can re-fuel as part of their stop at the landfill.
		Landfill gas released into the air smells bad, contributes to local smog, and is an explosion hazard.

		There are a variety of issues that landfills have to address before gaining approval from local regulators to leave ADC in place for extended periods of time.
