The dump is licensed to reach 160 feet tall (a 16 story building) in the marsh!

The dump is adjacent to the largest tract of preserved undiked, virgin marshland in the state of California. All wildlife near the landfill is affected by the bright lights at night and the noise cannons used to frighten away seagulls.

The Petaluma Marsh belongs to the public for fishing, waterfowl hunting and passive recreation. A moderate amount of recreational boating occurs along the river. The county of Marin has initiated a recreational use plan for part of the western side of the Petaluma river.

If the Landfill has its way with its expansion permit application, there will be over 1,380 vehicles trips in and out of the Landfill everyday - a 66% increase!

Expansion of the Redwood Landfill is inappropriate for this area!
