South OC Landfill Expansion Proposal | Prima Deshecha Could Double Daily Waste Intake

Orange County is studying a proposal to increase daily waste operations at Prima Deshecha Landfill, located between San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano.

📌 Key Facts:

• Current limit: 4,000 tons per day

• Proposed limit: 8,000 tons per day

• Emergency days could allow up to 10,000 tons per day

• Proposal is tied to long-term county waste planning and the expected closure of Olinda Alpha Landfill in Brea

• Public/neighborhood concerns include traffic, odor, air quality, dust, truck noise, wildfire/emergency access, and nearby neighborhood impacts

• The County is reevaluating the Final SEIR and it has not yet gone to the Board of Supervisors for final approval

Bottom Line:

Orange County is studying a proposal to increase Prima Deshecha’s daily waste intake from 4,000 to 8,000 tons per day, with up to 10,000 tons allowed on certain emergency days.

County officials say the proposal would not expand the landfill’s footprint, though separate county-approved projects are already planned to increase long-term capacity and extend the landfill’s operational life.

📆 The proposal remains under environmental review and public discussion.
