Western suburb councils have slammed the state environmental watchdog’s decision to give the green light for toxic West Gate Tunnel soil to be treated in Ravenhall.
Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) announced on Friday it had approved an Environment Management Plan (EMP) for Cleanaway’s Spoil Management and Reuse Facility to accept and process soil contaminated with PFAS and asbestos.
The approval is the second granted to the site after EPA revoked an earlier approval amid concerns it may not have been granted legally.
It follows recent reapprovals for dumping at Maddingley Brown Coal in in Bacchus Marsh and the Hi Quality site in Bulla.
