WITHYHEDGE LANDFILL SITE UPDATE : 19 APRIL 2024
Following on from the completion of phase 1 of the remediation work to cap cells 6&7 and the installation and connection of the gas wells, and while we recognise odour issues in this area have abated, it is apparent that odour issues still persist.
We have completed further investigatory work to identify the source of the odour and have already commenced engineering work to address the issue; we share the frustrations of the local communities that these issues persist, and are extremely frustrated and disappointed that our work to this point has not remedied the situation as expected but would seek to assure everyone affected by the odours that we will not rest until we have a permanent solution.
We continue to work closely with the regulator, NRW and other specialist geotechnical engineers, and have submitted a plan of additional works to be completed; this work has been approved and has been included in a further regulatory Enforcement Notice with a deadline of 14th May 2024.
To this end, RML will post updates on progress weekly leading upto completion on the 14th May.
