Thematic day on post-management of landfill sites

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

NEW! Following public consultation, the flowcharts have been updated (latest version 03/12/2019). It is available here.

On May 23, 2017, the Department of Soil and Waste (DSD) and the Scientific Institute of Public Service (ISSeP) organized a theme day on the post-management of engineered landfills (C.E.T.). At this event, ISSeP presented a methodology for assessing the possibilities of discontinuing C.E.T. post-management or modifying post-management activities in order to lighten their load.

The proposed methodology is the result of a module-by-module assessment and a risk-based approach, similar to that recommended by the Plan Interne d’Intervention et de Protection des Eaux Souterraines (PIIPES) in the event of endogenous and persistent groundwater contamination by a T.E.C.

It has been broken down into four decision-making flowcharts:

Prerequisites
Flowchart 1: General methodology
Flowchart 2a: Percolats – Assessment of the possibility of discontinuing post-management operations
Flowchart 2b: Biogas – Assessment of the possibility of discontinuing post-management operations
Flowchart 3: Evaluation of the possibility of modifying post-management activities

At the DSD’s request, the methodology for assessing the possibilities of discontinuing or modifying post-management is being submitted for public consultation.

To facilitate reading and understanding of the philosophy adopted, the flowcharts are accompanied by an explanatory note.

The public consultation is open until September 15, 2017. Comments, remarks and suggestions should be sent by e-mail to the following address: cetpostgestion.dgo3@spw.wallonie.be
