What precautions are being made to make sure that any emissions from the site are safe?
In order to treat the contamination it is necessary to excavate the soils from the ground, which inevitably releases odours. Best available techniques are being used on site to control air emissions and odours as far as reasonably practicable. In addition to mechanical and physical controls, environmental engineers from both Vertase FLI and Atkins are actively monitoring emissions arising from the site. This information is fed back immediately to the site to allow any required changes to works to be made. Constant air monitoring is also in place with analysis being carried out by an independent laboratory. Vertase FLI have been made aware of recent concerns from local residents regarding odours from the site and they are continuing to develop alternative methods to solve the problem. If the terms of the documentation issued by the Environment Agency (i.e. the Licence and deployment form) are not being complied with then action may be taken by the Environment Agency namely.
