Pine Street.<\/p>\n<p>The city is requesting that the New Mexico Environment Department renew the landfill\u2019s existing solid-waste facility permit for another 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Butterfield Trail Regional Landfill currently accepts municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, petroleum-contaminated soil, sludge, industrial solid waste and animal-processing waste.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed permit modification would allow vertical and lateral expansion of the existing landfill. The project would add Phases 2 and 3, covering approximately 54.6 additional acres, and provide approximately 54 feet of additional vertical waste capacity in Units 2 through 6.<\/p>\n<p>According to the New Mexico Environment Department, the landfill site encompasses approximately 318 acres and is located about 15 miles west of Deming and one-half mile north of Interstate 10.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the public are encouraged to attend, ask questions and provide comments. Written comments may also be submitted during the meeting or by mail.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information, contact Deming Public Works Director Azucena Vargas at 575-546-8848, extension 2030.<\/p>\n<p>By John Krehbiel &#8211; Bravo Mic Communications News &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:John@bravomic.com\">John@bravomic.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEMING \u2013 The City of Deming will hold a community information meeting Thursday, August 27, concerning the proposed renewal and<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/demingnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/08\/24\/deming-seeks-public-input-on-proposed-landfill-expansion\/\">Read More &rarr;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-john-k","post-1498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hometown-happenings","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Deming Seeks Public Input on Proposed Landfill Expansion - DemingNews.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The City of Deming will hold a community information meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, August 27, at Deming City Hall.
