A particular consideration was that of the
presence of cytotoxic wastes that would be decanted on site, SWEL
carried out a risk assessment appraisal and deemed the the risk
satisfactory owing to the company rigorous in house cytotoxic management
plan, and as such an Odour Management Plan.
The Site Condition report showed that the site
was formally occupied by heavy industry, and as such there was likely to
have been extreme lowering of land quality prior to the facility being
set up on the proposed site.
A very important site feature for this type of Waste Transfer Station is
a main sewerage connection, it would be very difficult to set up a site
like this, without a connection to mains sewerage.
A modern industrial building also helps things along, as the building
will likely already have a sealed drainage system.
