Waste Management

Considerable developments have occurred in the regulation of landfills in the UK in recent years. In April 2008 the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) consolidated the Waste Management Licencing and Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) permiting regimes. An emphasis on self regulation now exists with operators being more responsible for the environmental performance of their sites.

Background

Assessment of all water issues associated with landfilling can be undertaken including the development of hydrogeological conceptual models, quantiative risk assessment, modelling and design of monitoring programmes. Extensive experience exists within the company of undertaking both the technical input and providing support during negotiations.
