This consultation presents the draft Remediation Strategy for the Mobuoy Road waste site.

The Strategy has been developed following a large amount of scientific investigative work, including extensive and detailed ground investigation work, water quality testing, landfill gas testing, and a range of other environmental tests, to understand the amount and type of waste present at the site and determine the impact of contamination from the waste on the local environment.

In developing the strategy, a Remediation Options Appraisal was carried out to evaluate the suitability of a wide range of potential remediation solutions that could be used to address the contamination issues at the site. The remedial options that were technically viable at the site were assessed against environmental, social, and economic criteria, to identify the most suitable and sustainable remediation solution(s) for the site and it is these solutions that have been presented in the draft Remediation Strategy.
