Plea for alternative technologies at Dome landfill hearings
The Board representatives Tony Edmonds and Kevin Smith emerge from Warkworth Town Hall after Mr Smith presented at the hearings.
Waste to Energy company representatives have renewed their calls to ditch a proposed landfill in the Dome Valley in favour of alternative technologies, which they say are safer and greener.
Managing director of The Board Kevin Smith told commissioners considering a resource consent for a landfill in the Dome Valley that the United States Environmental Protection Agency had concluded that all landfills would eventually leak harmful liquids (leachate) into the environment.
He said liners and leachate collection systems could not be relied upon because they depend on pipes that could crack, collapse or fill with sediment.
