flag California updates landfill methane rules, using drones and satellites to cut 17,000 tons of emissions yearly.

flag California has updated its 15-year-old landfill methane rule, mandating advanced leak detection via drones and satellites, faster repairs, and stronger monitoring to cut 17,000 metric tons of methane annually—equivalent to emissions from 110,000 cars. flag The changes, approved by the California Air Resources Board, target all 188 of the state’s large landfills, improve gas collection, reduce toxic pollutants like benzene, and address underground fire risks, especially after fires were detected at sites like Chiquita Canyon. flag The move responds to community health concerns and advances in technology, aligning enforcement with current science.
