Lining system for the proposed landfill

  • Will the proposed landfill use the same lining system as the one at Redvale? Does Redvale have leaks in the liner?

    The proposed Auckland Regional Landfill will be designed and constructed using a typical lining system and consented under the Resource Management Act (RMA).

    The lining system proposed for the Auckland Regional Landfill will be designed and constructed to meet the requirements of the specific geological characteristics of the location and will therefore be different to Redvale and other landfills. It must meet the requirements of the RMA.

    Redvale Landfill and Energy Park does not have leaks in the liner and all leachate is contained, extracted and treated on site.
