Ailsworth Landfill - Review of Phase 2 Remediation Options & Selection of Alternative Treatment Action(s) to Accelerate Remediation

The Environment Agency requires a consultant to review previous studies and use their expertise and experience to identify, shortlist and select an alternative remedial treatment option to accelerate remediation of this orphan Special Site. This work is required to deliver Phase 2 (source removal or treatment) of the agreed 30 year active remediation strategy for this site at Helpston. The output will be a report including a sufficiently detailed specification to enable the client to procure a separate design and build contract to begin to implement the Phase 2 works from April 2022.

This review is necessary as we have established that ex-situ bio-remediation, which was identified by the previous work as the preferred option for Phase 2, will now present several regulatory and financial challenges.
