Question: Rita Lavelle was convicted of perjury in connection to the waste dump in what California county?
Context: 2015 Lebanese protests were a series of protests in response to the government's failure to find solutions to a waste crisis caused by the closure of the Beirut and Mount Lebanon region waste dump in Naameh (south of Beirut) in July 2015.  The closure led the region's waste company Sukleen to suspend collection causing piles of rubbish to fill the streets.  A series of small but increasing protests, led by grassroots organization "You Stink! ," were held throughout the summer, culminating in large protests in August.  These attracted thousands of demonstrators but also saw scuffles with police. The triangle of death (Italian: "Triangolo della morte"), the largest illegal waste dump in Europe, is an area in the Italian province of Campania comprising the municipalities of Acerra, Nola and Marigliano.  The region has recently experienced increasing deaths caused by cancer and other diseases that exceeds the Italian national average.  The rise in cancer-related mortality is caused by pollution from illegal waste disposal by outside and Italian government censored sources transported by the Camorra criminal organization. The Stringfellow Acid Pits are a toxic waste dump, and a Superfund site, located in Riverside County, California, United States, just north of the neighborhood of Glen Avon, California.  The site became the center of national news coverage in the early 1980s, in part because it was considered one of the most polluted sites in California, and because it became linked with mismanagement and scandal in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Rita Marie Lavelle (born 1946) is a United States and California State Republican political figure.  In 1984, Lavelle was convicted on federal charges of perjury related to an investigation into misuse of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's "Superfund" money during her tenure with the agency, and irregularities at the Stringfellow Acid Pits, a major hazardous waste site.  The Lavelle incident was labeled "Garbagegate" by the newspapers at the time.  In 2004, Lavelle was convicted on federal charges of one count of wire fraud and two counts of making false statements to the F.B.I. Lavelle committed these crimes in her personal business of environmental consultation. The Newby Island Landfill (NISL) is one of the largest active dumps on the shores of the San Francisco Bay.  It is located in Santa Clara County, California in the United States.  The site is located within the City of San José at the western terminus of Dixon Landing Road.  The address is 1601 Dixon Landing Road, Milpitas.  Although the address and public street access to the site are both in the City of Milpitas, the landfill property is entirely within the City of San Jose.  Newby Island Landfill has a length of 5.07 kilometers.  It is located West of the City of Milpitas near Dixion Landing Road and 880.  It is the terminus for waste for all of San Jose(62%), Santa Clara(14%), Milpitas (10%), Cupertino (5%), Los Altos (2%) and other cities (7%).  The 342 acre pile is still at least a few feet from its permitted height of 150 feet.  The landfill is an island surrounded by a levee which keeps its runoff from directly entering the bay, and the water that drains from it is treated in the dump's own treatment plant.  Electricity for the dump is generated by burning the methane collected from the decomposition of the waste.  Dried sewage sludge from the nearby San Jose Treatment Plant is the material used as cover, mixed in with the trash, blending San Jose's waste streams.  It is operated by Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI), which, along with Waste Management Incorporated, transports and disposes of most of the household trash in the United States. Ariel Sharon Park (Hebrew: פארק אריאל שרון‎ ‎ ) is an environmental park established on the former Hiriya (Hebrew: חירייה‎ ‎ ) waste dump located southeast of Tel Aviv, Israel.  After accumulating 25 million tons of waste, the facility was shut down in August 1998.  It is visible on approach into Ben Gurion International Airport as a flat-topped mountain.  Three recycling facilities have been established at the foot of the mountain: a waste separation center, a green waste facility that produces mulch and a building materials recycling plant.  The waste dump and its surrounding area have been renovated into a large park that is still under construction. The 2006 Ivory Coast toxic waste dump was a health crisis in Ivory Coast in which a ship registered in Panama, the "Probo Koala", chartered by the Singaporean-based oil and commodity shipping company Trafigura Beheer BV, offloaded toxic waste to an Ivorian waste handling company which disposed of it at the port of Abidjan.  The local contractor, a company called Tommy, dumped the waste at 12 sites in and around the city in August 2006.  The dumping, which took place against a backdrop of instability in Abidjan as a result of Côte d'Ivoire's first civil war, allegedly led to the death of 17 and the injury of 30,000. The Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility (ERDF) is a waste disposal facility located at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Richland, Washington, U.S..  Built in 1996, ERDF collects low-level waste, mixed waste, and other hazardous materials that are generated at Hanford.  It does not collect any radioactive waste or other hazardous materials from other sites or the public.  The hazardous waste dump was designed to be expanded as needed.  The main storage facilities consist of single layer tanks that hold in all more than 17 million tons of nuclear waste.  As of 2011, two new super tanks which hold double the amount of the single layer tanks were installed, providing safer levels of radioactivity in the surrounding ground areas and water sheds.  Liners were previously installed to collect liquid released by the tanks or rain water that may seep in.  The ERDF does not collect liquid by-products but they take the necessary precautions to keep the surrounding environment safe. Alkali Lake Chemical Waste Dump is a hazardous waste disposal site near the southwest edge of Alkali Lake, a seasonally dry playa in Lake County, Oregon.  It is in the Summer Lake watershed.  The site has been the focus of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) efforts to remediate a complex mix of toxic chemicals.  Problems were initially caused by the dumping of hazardous waste near the lakebed between 1969 and 1971. A landslide of construction waste occurred at Shenzhen, China, on 20 December 2015.  It destroyed and buried industrial buildings and worker living quarters in the nearby industrial park.  The death toll was 73, with 4 people reported missing.  It was an industrial accident due to human negligence rather than a natural disaster.  The local police had arrested some of the people involved in the irregularities of the huge waste dump which had built up in previous two years.
