Please add your response below, quoting the main modification reference number: (limit 3000 words)
Reference MM033 page 67 Policy LA2.8
I was pleased to note the modification that there will be a contamination assessment. I would ask that the language read:
... approval of a contamination assessment 'of both landfills' to examine the 'current and potential future airborne and land' risk .......
At the end: 'This should be completed with cognizance of EU regulations relating to landfills containing hazardous waste'
As mentioned at the hearing at least one of the landfills is known to contain hazardous waste and I have not seen evidence that the other - older- landfill does not.
Studies on the impact of landfills were cited during the hearing.
Many thanks for your consideration
Giles Archibald
