A meeting will take place on Saturday, May 10th, 2014 at 10 a.m. at the Almaden Community Library ( 6445 Camden Ave, San Jose) to discuss the Guadalupe Landfilll’s “Gas Recovery Facility Relocation Project”. Currently there is in place such a system to recover the gas which is naturally emitted as the items in the landfill decompose. (Long timers in the area may recall problems at Shoreline in Mountain View when there were surprise combustion fires from the same sort of activity when the gas wasn’t being handled well.) This gas must be captured and dealt with one way or the other. But for various reasons, the powers that be at the landfill would like to shut down the current one and put a new one up in a different location, still at the landfill of course. Some locals are concerned about a variety of problems that may arise with this change. This landfill or dump is also known as the Guadalupe Recycling and Disposal Facility
