California Landll Calculates Remaining Airspace, Tracks Compaction with Propeller
California Landll Calculates Remaining Airspace, Tracks Compaction with Propeller Two hours north of Santa Barbara, California, sits the Santa Maria Landll. Serving the City of Santa Maria, which is one of the largest in that coastal area, plus a couple of surrounding towns in northern Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, the landll covers some 200 total acres. Its also approaching its end of life, and is scheduled to close in 2027. To better track remaining airspace and optimize compaction, Santa Maria sought to use drone surveying and Propeller to measure and manage their landll site. Determining landlls end-of-life timeline prompted drone use Trent Girouard, one of the landlls engineers who has previous experience in wastewater management, runs Santa Marias drone p
