Part IIA: Reminder• Backstop! • Only to be used where other regimes are not
applicable• Requires viable potential or actual significant
pollutant linkage• Based on risk assessment• Forensics - the polluter pays – search for
appropriate persons

Manywells: location
![Page 5: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1994: A new waste disposal landfill site is born, formed from a disused sandstone quarry in Cullingworth

Site operator, Wastepoint Ltd, went bankrupt in 2001, deserting the site
![Page 8: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Manywells became an “orphan” site
![Page 9: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Site overfilled by approx 90,000 cubic metres
Uncontained leachate seeping to surface
![Page 10: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The first view…Waste mass towers over surrounding land levels
Unstable gradients
Landfill gas migration onto public bridleway and into woods
![Page 11: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Exposed waste seen from bridle path
![Page 12: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Background• Operational waste management issues
– Odour– Flies
• January 2002– Contact from Minerals & Waste planners & E.A.– Site leachate not controlled– Multi-Agency meeting– Joint site visit– Huge public concern, political pressure to resolve
• January 2003– Site determination
![Page 13: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Initial negotiations : Legal situation January 2002
• NOTE: Early days in Part IIA implementation!• Site owner/operator bankrupt – therefore does not legally
exist• Property inc. waste management licence held by liquidators• Then disclaimed as ‘onerous property’ under Insolvency
Act• Ownership of site reverted to Crown• Escrow fund (for restoration) tied to licence (E.A./site
owner)• Planning – nothing to be achieved by enforcement – query
re. Crown liabilities• Power generation company on site
![Page 14: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Initial negotiations: Implications January 2002
• Waste Management legislation not applicable
• Part IIA action recommended by E.A. re. controlled waters – potential Special site?
• BUT - “Inspection Strategy for Contaminated Land in the Bradford District” Dec. 2001 – identified inspection priorities…
![Page 15: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Inspection Strategy: Site Specific Priority Factors
![Page 16: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Initial Negotiations: 2002• Legal Counsel’s opinion – non-determination
defensible where no significant pollutant linkage identified
• But if E.A. stopped pumping leachate then SPL could occur…?
• Therefore Assessment actions continued
![Page 17: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Site review: Controlled Waters• Source/Contaminants
– Leachate breakout on edges of site with run-off over surface across industrial estate
– Groundwater – leachate migration potential via compromised main liner
• Potential pollutant linkages & receptors:– Surface water – via drainage systems via
sewerage to Manywells Beck– Groundwater – E.A. Landsim modelling
![Page 20: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Controlled Waters: significance?• Surface water – leachate from breakout diluted on
site and during run-off – no significant pollutant linkage
• Groundwater – potential pathway due to percolation of leachate via thin basal clay liner – potential significant pollutant linkage
• Note – NO proven significant pollutant linkages
![Page 21: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Assessment Actions• Conceptual site model (CSM) drafted in-
house– No proven significant pollutant linkages
identified – No risk to human health identified
• Determination based on controlled waters resisted
![Page 22: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conceptual Site Model: a starting point
![Page 23: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Assessment Actions: Landfill Gas• BUT concern about landfill gas identified• IMC consultants - commissioned to review and
report on potential risks from landfill and mine gases
• Potential threat to human health – potential gas migration through fractures in the rocks into– Woodland areas used for informal play by children
(including dens)– Hollows in field where livestock shelter in poor
weather conditions
![Page 24: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Den Making in woodland
![Page 25: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Part IIA & Manywells – key points• Other regimes?
– Waste management regime – failed
– Planning regime – failed
• Viable significant pollutant linkages?
– Surface water - pathway to Manywells Beck – not ‘significant’ due to leachate dilution before leaving site
– Groundwater - pathway – potentially ‘significant’ over time
– Landfill gas – potentially ‘significant’ low likelihood but extreme impact on human health possible in certain conditions
![Page 26: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Determination process
• Note: Not many examples of determination documents available in 2002
• Collation of evidence to confirm SPL• Basic Risk Assessment• Map/plan • Format/Layout
= Determination document

Determination Document: Gas risk assessment
• “Therefore the Council has concluded that the proven presence of landfill gas in the ground surrounding the site, the identification of potential pathways and the presence of identified receptors are sufficient to conclude that there is a significant possibility of significant harm being caused.”
![Page 31: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Gas concentrations• Methane up to:
– 58%v/v in borehole outside site boundary
– 14% v/v in dry-stone wall adjacent to boundary
– 8%v/v in pinholes in hollows in field
• Carbon dioxide up to:– 42%v/v borehole outside site boundary– 24%v/v in dry-stone wall adjacent to
boundary– 30%v/v in pinholes in hollows in field
![Page 32: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Determination Document: Groundwater Risk Assessment
• “Therefore the Council has concluded that:– the proven presence of landfill leachate in the leachate
detection layer below the basal liner,
– the modelled permeability of the secondary liner which may provide a pathway to groundwater, and,
– the presence of groundwater beneath the site and of a licenced abstraction point, Manywells Spring, are sufficient to conclude that this land is in such a condition by reason of substances, in, on or under the land that pollution of controlled waters is likely to be caused.”

Part IIA: Post determination issues• Initial remediation solution – removal of
98K tonnes material from site – practical issues
• ‘Project management’ – with PCO/EHO & EHM (not key area of expertise)
• E.A. still involved in site pumping leachate therefore division of responsibilities
![Page 35: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Part IIA: Post determination issues
• Neighbouring land owners
• Power generation company
• Escrow fund - E.A. High Court action
• Negotiations with Crown
• Site ownership issues
![Page 36: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Gas concentrations• Boreholes outside site
– Some reduction in gas concentrations due to rebalancing of gas field, new flare etc
– Further improvement expected when new infrastructure installed and more gas drawn away from perimeter
• Boreholes on site– Increase in gas concentrations and volumes as waste dries
out and methano-genesis restarts– New flare requires energy input to ensure operation– Still monitoring effects of site works– Long term gas production unknown– Power generation potential under review but power
generation infrastructure may not be viable

The Plan Key Works• Redistribution of the waste mass to provide stable slopes
and an acceptable landform• Tying the existing liner to a new clay cap• Infrastructure – Leachate ‘dirty’ water under cap +
pumping• Infrastructure – Gas wells, heads, pipework and flare• Infrastructure – ‘Clean’ water system above cap• Soils and planting. Key to success of remediation and the
restoration of the site

Part IIA: Communications Summary• Establish good communications early – it takes
some time but saves a lot more in the long run
• Get key contacts in community involved
• Tell the community what is going on even when nothing seems to be happening on the site
• Note – significant resource implications if done right – not eligible costs for CLCP

Manywells & Part IIA
TO CONCLUDE…!
![Page 70: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Part IIA: Landfill Site Determination• Recommendations:
– Part IIA is a last resort – do not go there unless you have no options!
– Ensure you get good legal advice– Check Land Registry - ensure defensible
boundary line around the determined area– If orphan site
• Separate regulatory role from project manager role
• Project management skills are essential
![Page 71: Manywells Landfill: determination, management & communication Ann Barker Lead Officer Contaminated Land](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c7f5503460f94934fab/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Site remediation: practical points• Flexibility• Circumstances change, • There is more than one right answer, • Control and manage expectations of rapid action • Bring in additional expertise where necessary• Funding issues – not just CLCP• Risk associated with regulatory action• Landfill sites are organic beings – no two are the
same!

Every site needs ‘hands-on’ management
