*Methane tonnages cannot be specified due to confidentiality requirements from Council’s contractor.

Council officers worked with Cleanaway and the landfill gas contractor (LMS) to ensure interim
landform was reached at cell 2.2 allowing for the installation of the ring main and additional vertical
wells in early 2021.
Quarterly onsite meetings between Council officers, LMS and Council’s ZEN representatives have
continued. Current trends in gas volume, operational status of wells, future plans for the gas network
and heat mapping areas of landfill with good/poor gas capture are analysed to direct increased future
volume of methane capture. As a result in March 2021 an additional 11 gas wells were installed. It
is anticipated that this will significantly increase landfill gas capture.

Environmental Compliance

A total of 661mm of rainfall was recorded at the Landfill throughout the reporting period. No major
environmental incidents occurred as a result of the wet weather events and no releases of nutrients
or leachate were observed.
