Redhill Landfill is a waste site in Surrey operated by waste services company Biffa.
Biffa have completed their initial action plan to reduce landfill gas escaping from the site, but there are still complaints of smells.
Update: April 2014
Public Health England (PHE) have released their interim health risk assessment of air quality monitoring around Redhill Landfill.
They have concluded that:
overall the results for hydrogen sulphide and the identified volatile organic compounds from the available monitoring data are not high enough to be of concern toxicologically and are therefore unlikely to pose an appreciable risk to nearby residents’ short or long term health.
Air quality monitoring will continue over the next few months and these results will be sent to PHE for further assessment. If you want to see the full report please contact us by email: enquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk
Update: March 2014
On 6 March 2014 the Environment Agency issued an enforcement notice to Biffa for breaching their environmental permit for odour outside the site boundary. The Environment Agency also requested that they look at how they manage leachate and landfill gas between now and the end of May 2014.
