RML are pleased to confirm that progress on the construction of cell 9 is progressing to schedule and that the CQA for its approval is due to be submitted to the regulator imminently.

We will also be taking advantage of the extended site closure period to update our gas management equipment on site; this will enable the site to be more resilient to breakdowns and give increased capacity and efficiency to the gas collection network.

RML have consistently taken the lead in initiating air quality monitoring around the site and welcome the efforts currently being undertaken by PCC and NRW. To further support this ongoing initiative and the work of the independent specialist consultants already employed, RML will permanently introduce AQ Mesh monitors on-site. These new sensors, designed to continuously detect hydrogen sulfide and other VOC gases, will be placed at various locations around the site, with the information being shared with our partners.

We continue to work closely with NRW and will provide further updates on progress and re-opening dates when they are known.
