EPA has received reports of a significant smoke plume (up to 200m) coming from excavation activities at the B.T.Q. landfill (500 Sunbury Road, Bulla).
This is due to works being taken by the company to extinguish a number of subsurface fires across the landfill. This requires them to excavate the hotspot and douse with significant volumes of water.
This work has been required of the company by EPA.
