Calabasas, California

Selected Grant Recipient

Name: Los Angeles County Public Works, CA
Project Title: Calabasas Anaerobic Digestion
Facility Project

EPA Information

Region: EPA Region 9

Grant Funding: $3,999,090

Los Angeles County Public Works will design and build an anaerobic digestion facility at the Calabasas
Landfill. Diverting organic waste from landfills to reduce methane emissions is a priority for California
and a requirement for local jurisdictions. This investment will create the critical infrastructure needed
to process organic waste diverted from solid waste disposal streams, as well as to generate
beneficial end use products to promote a circular economy, reduce harmful landfill greenhouse gas
emissions, and comply with organic waste reduction requirements under California Senate Bill 1383.

SWIFR Grants for Communities

The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides the largest EPA investment in recycling in 30 years to
support National Recycling Strategy implementation and build a circular economy for all. As part of
the Investing in America agenda, this funding supports improvements to waste management
systems and programs, allowing resources to be used more efficiently and reducing the impact on
the climate. SWIFR Community grant funding can be used to establish or optimize collection and
management of materials; fund infrastructure, technology, or other improvements to reduce
contamination; enhance markets for recycled commodities; and increase the diversion, recycling rate
and quality of materials collected for municipal solid waste. These grants also advance the Justice^
Initiative, which aims to ensure that 40% of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments flow
to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution.

EPA will make the award to Los Angeles County Public Works once all legal and administrative
requirements are satisfied.
