MAIN FLARE MAINTENANCE : 30TH JULY

29th July 2024

 

This is an announcement to confirm that Resources Management UK Limited will be undertaking an annual maintenance of the main landfill gas flare on Tuesday, 30th July.

 

The work will commence at 9 AM and should not take more than 3 hours.

 

While we do not expect any disruption of landfill gas release, there is always the potential for such an event during such maintenance.


SITE UPDATE STATEMENT : 23 JULY 2024

Natural Resources Wales released a statement on Friday 19th July confirming that all work required from our site as part of their Regulation 36 Enforcement Notices served on RML in February and April of this year, has been fully complied with.

 

FULL NRW STATEMENT HERE

 

The continued work has resulted in the dissipation of landfill odour, and we anticipate this will continue to be the case going forward, notwithstanding the presence of other odour sources not related to Withyhedge Landfill Site in the vicinity.

 

We continue to work closely with the regulator and continue engineering work on the next cells, and work on improving and updating the gas management infrastructure on site.  The site will remain closed until this work is completed.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON MONDAY 8TH JULY

 

On Monday 8th July, scheduled maintenance on the gas collection systems will be carried out, we expect this will take a few hours. The backup flare will be running, and we don’t anticipate this work will cause any odour issues but would like to keep the community informed that this work will be taking place.

Moving forward, RML will endeavour to provide updates whenever such work is scheduled.
