Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) has issued Landfill Operations Pty Ltd (Cleanaway) with a notice that requires the company to provide additional information on a works approval application to extend its Melbourne Regional Landfill at Ravenhall.
The formal request was made on 7 September 2016 under Section 22(1) of the Environment Protection Act 1970 (the Act) following an initial review of Cleanaway’s application.
EPA Development Assessments Manager Tim Faragher said the additional information requirement, that would include information about existing groundwater conditions, side wall landfill cell designs and the topographic profile of the site after waste had settled, was needed by EPA to inform its final determination of Cleanaway’s works approval application.
‘The information requested will enable EPA to continue its assessment of Cleanaway’s works approval application,’ Mr Faragher said.
‘EPA has identified the extra requirement following a preliminary appraisal of the application undertaken by EPA officers,’ Mr Faragher said.
