	Leachate removed from the waste mass needs to be disposed of in an appropriate fashion. In general, this requires transmission to an appropriate treatment plant; this might be via a connection to the sewer system for ultimate treatment at an off site ~~sewage treatment plant~~ operated by a utility company, or an on-site leachate treatment plant owned and operated by the operator of the [[Landfill]]. Depending upon the capacity at the receiving utility treatment plant, Leachate may require pre-treatment at the ~~landfill~~ site prior to sending to ~~the~~ offsite ~~sewage treatment plant (examples below)~~.

	In the case of an on-site leachate treatment plant, once appropriate quality standards have been met it may discharge to a receiving watercourse or (less frequently) a soak-away. Such a discharge would be regulated by the [[EA]] with an [[Environmental Permit]]. Discharge to a sewer, with or without pre-treatment, would require agreement with the relevant utility company as an ~~industrial effluent~~.		In the case of an on-site leachate treatment plant, once appropriate quality standards have been met it may discharge to a receiving watercourse or (less frequently) a soak-away.
