What happens if the landfill cap is disturbed during the work, for example when the trees are cleared?
If the landfill cap is disturbed during the work, the contractor is required to reinstate any capping as part of the construction works, using existing materials or approved alternatives (such as man-made synthetic capping materials). This work needs to be undertaken in accordance with the site specific documents developed for the work, and in line with NSW EPA Landfill Guidelines (2016).
