California AB28 addresses subsurface elevated temperature events at solid waste landfills, requiring corrective action plans and imposing penalties.

California AB28 mandates corrective action plans for subsurface elevated temperature events at solid waste landfills, imposing penalties of up to $100,000 per day for non-compliance. The bill requires landfill operators to notify relevant agencies and provide temperature data. It also establishes a multiagency coordination group to investigate and recommend solutions. The California Environmental Protection Agency must create guidelines for compensating affected communities from a newly created Landfill Subsurface Fire Mitigation Community Fund.
