NRW Water Surface Monitoring
Statement on NRW Water Surface Monitoring
We welcome the recent report from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) regarding water surface monitoring. Ref: CAR_NRW0044753
The data confirms that there are elevated levels of pollution emanating from upstream to the landfill site, however, the water quality at RMLs discharge point is below the permit threshold; this in turn is positively contributing towards improved water quality downstream.
We will continue working closely with NRW and other stakeholders to ensure we are maintaining high standards of water quality, within our permit stipulations and or the long-term protection of our streams and water courses.
