Snowy Monaro Regional Council are ensuring environmental requirements are met at the Jindabyne Regional Waste Management Facility with an upgrade to the storm water system and capping of finished sections of the landfill site.
General Manager, Joseph Vescio said that “the stormwater water upgrade includes a new detention pond, which will control the flow of storm water into the Snowy River, and the upgrade of existing drainage around the site which will separate the storm water from the landfill cell”.
“Landfill capping will be required across the whole site once the landfill life has been used, as per NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) requirements, ensuring that the environment is protected from any contamination from waste,” Mr Vescio said.
The cap consists of a clay layer, drainage layer and clean fill for revegetation, which has been approved by the EPA.
