Cedar Hills Regional Landfill site development plan

The King County Solid Waste Division is exploring ways to extend the useful life of the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill by developing more disposal capacity at the site. Five alternatives are under consideration that would provide additional landfill capacity. The alternatives under consideration would allow the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill to continue operation for three to thirteen years beyond the estimated closure date of 2018, which is based on current forecasts.  Your comments are welcome, please find more information on the Solid Waste Division's website.
