Technical Guidelines for the Disposal to Land of Residual Waste and Other Material
How we got here • Funding provided from MfE under WasteMINZ strategic alliance • Two years of funding • Significant in-kind support • Governance (WasteMINZ and MfE) • Project Team (MfE, DFOs, TAs, RC, Industry, Consultants)
Key things to note • It’s forward looking! • Sorry , but this isn’t going to solve all your current/historic compliance issues • It is still a guideline and needs support and adoption to be successful
Objectives • define waste types intended for disposal • define classes of landfill based on waste types • provide a consistent approach to landfill siting, design, operations and monitoring • make good practice recommendations on key technical requirements for siting, design, operations and monitoring of landfills based on landfill class.
Land Disposal Technical Guidelines • Revise • CAE Landfill Guidelines (2000) • Guide to the Management of Cleanfills • Three major changes • Landfill classification • Good practice design • Waste acceptance criteria
Disposal to land means the final deposit of fill and/or waste materials into or onto land set apart for that purpose (landfill) • However the guidelines do not include: • earthworks operations • farm dumps • offal holes
Guidelines reflect current situation where “cleanfills” range from site accepting only VENM to sites accepting quantities of C&D waste or contaminated soils • Recognize that different wastes require sites with different levels of environmental protection
Draft – we want your feedback! • Draft likely to come our for consultation mid to late June • We need your feedback! This document is here to help you!
