Wind Policy

The Mesa County Landfill is required by the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE) to cease operations and close the facility when excessive winds are detected either by on-site meteorological instruments and/or verified by the National Weather Service. Excessive or high winds are defined by the CDPHE as sustained winds or gusts of 40 miles per hour or greater, or gusts of 55 miles per hour or greater that are expected to persist for more than 1 hour.

 

The safety of landfill customers and our employees is very important to Mesa County Solid Waste Management and Herzog Environmental. With this in mind, the working face of the landfill will be constantly monitored during periods of high winds. If the area is recognized to be unsafe because of the high winds the facility will close. Wind speeds in excess of 25 miles per hour generally cause this condition. If the landfill is closed for high winds, commercial waste haulers will be notified of the situation. The Hazardous Waste Collection Facility will also close during this period. Please call 263-9319 to verify if the Organic Materials Composting is also closed.

 

If wind is present please call 241-6846 to verify that the landfill and associated waste programs are open.
