The APPLE (Air Pollution Planning and the Local Environment) group are working with the Environment Agency to establish a code of best practice to minimise the air pollution arising from waste management sites.
We are keen that the code of practice is based on evidence and experience and we are therefore seeking examples of best management and mitigation practice. Specifically we are interested in hearing about examples of:
- Waste site dust suppression and control both by design, by enclosure for example.
- Reduction of PM10 or nuisance dust from waste sites by the fitting of abatement measures. We are especially interested in any cases where the effect of abatement has been quantified by ambient air monitoring.
- Monitoring of dust and PM10 around waste management sites.
- Section 106 agreements that have included dust or PM10 monitoring.
- Examples of planning applications for waste management sites that have been refused on air quality grounds
- Examples of where planning, environmental health or other agencies have taken enforcement action for non-compliance with air quality / dust mitigation conditions.
