Dear all What is this all about? Due to forthcoming proposed changes in legislation, we have revised and updated our existing guidance on hydrogeological risk assessment for landfills (first published February 2003). We are running a 12-week external consultation and are contacting you, as representatives of relevant organisations, to request views and comments. If you feel you are not in a position to comment then please delete this email. Please find attached: * Hydrogeological Risk Assessments for Landfills and the Derivation of Groundwater Control and Trigger Levels (draft consultation version). * Summary document What has changed? This guidance explains our requirements for groundwater risk assessment and the setting of groundwater control and trigger levels. The update has mainly focused on ensuring that landfill risk assessments will meet the requirements of the Environmental Permitting Regulations (2010), which are expected to go live in April 2010. What do I need to do? If you feel that you would like to comment then please review the attached guidance and follow the instructions below.
