Several property owners in San Lucas, California have been served with legal notices seeking access to their land by engineers from the Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority. The authority is seeking locations for a potential new landfill. The agency is facing a time crunch because its landfills are nearing capacity. The Crazy Horse Landfill in northern Monterey County is expected to be full in six years. At that point, landfill operations would be moved to the existing Johnson Canyon Landfill near Gonzales, but that site is expected to reach capacity within the next 20 years.
