closure and aftercare

This includes the operations that are necessary for the closure and aftercare phases.

You must include a site closure and aftercare plan as part of your permit application and maintain it.

The Committee welcomes the Proposal as a whole. It stresses the need to properly train the staff of operators in closure and aftercare procedures.

Site closure and aftercare require careful consideration from the initial stages of site planning and can determine whether or not a planned landfill site will be able to proceed.

The Landfill Full Cost Accounting Guide will assist decision-makers to implement a consistent full cost accounting approach to landfills, incorporating landfill planning, development, operation, closure and aftercare.

The LFD further requires that landfill gas will be used to generate non-fossil fuel derived energy wherever possible, that each site has a fully developed closure and aftercare plan and during the active phase and following closure, a monitoring regime to ensure groundwater quality is not compromised.
