Solid waste landfills: subsurface temperatures.

California AB28 is a bill that aims to address the management of solid waste landfills by regulating subsurface temperatures. It introduces new sections to the Public Resources Code to ensure better monitoring and control of temperature levels in landfill sites. This is intended to enhance environmental safety and public health.

Supporters of AB28 would highlight its proactive approach to environmental protection by ensuring that landfill operations are safer for surrounding communities. They would argue that regulating subsurface temperatures can prevent potential hazards and improve overall waste management practices, benefiting both the environment and public health.

Critics of AB28 might argue that the bill could impose unnecessary regulations on landfill operations, potentially increasing costs for waste management companies. They may also contend that the focus on subsurface temperatures is misplaced and that there are more pressing issues in solid waste management that need to be addressed.
