==Summary==

Broadpath landfill is a modern site, engineered to standards set by the [[Landfill Directive]]. The site was developed from 1995 onwards by [[Viridor]] (at the time known as [[Viridor|Haul Waste Ltd]]). It was the company's first in-house developed landfill after the acquisition of the company by [[Viridor|Pennon]] in 1993.

==History==

Broadpath landfill was developed in a sand and gravel quarry excavated by Aggregate Industries (at the time known as ECC Quarries Ltd) and is located approximately 1km to the north of the village of Uffculme. A previous scheme to develop a ~~dilute~~ and ~~disperse landfill~~ in a different part of the quarry complex was brought forward by ECC Quarries in the 1980s and failed to achieve ~~planning consent~~.

Broadpath landfill was granted [[Planning Permission]] in 1997 and a [[Waste Management Licence]] in 1998. Construction of the site infrastructure and the initial [[Landfill Cell]] took place in 1998 and the site opened in October 1998.

The ~~waste management licence~~ was changed to an Environmental Permit in 2003/4.

The [[Environmental Permitting| Waste Management Licence]] was changed to an [[Environmental Permit]] in 2003/4 as required by the changing legislation at the time.

The capacity at the site as originally granted ~~planning permission~~ was circa 2~~.5M m3~~; this was subsequently increased upon approval of revised ~~surcharge~~ and ~~settlement contours~~ to around 3~~.8M m3~~.

The capacity at the site as originally granted [[Planning Permission]] was circa 2,500,000 cubic metres; this was subsequently increased upon approval of a revised [[Landfill Surcharge Allowance]] and set of [[Landfill Settlement Contours]] to around 3,800,000 cubic metres.

==Geology==

The quarry is excavated into Triassic age Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds. These constitute a [[Principal Aquifer]], although due to the morphology of the deposit, locally they are not water-bearing to any significant degree. The Pebble Beds are underlain by clays of the Keuper Marl.

==Engineering and Environmental Controls==

The [[Landfill]] is constructed as a [[Landfill|Containment Facility]], utilizing the underlying clay materials as the principal barrier. The [[Landfill|landfill lining system]] is augmented with a flexible membrane liner of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) on the base and the lower part of the sidewalls. The sidewalls are steeply graded and required buttressing to enable construction within the 30 meter deep quarry.

There is [[Landfill|Landfill Gas]] power generation with electricity export to the [[Landfill|National Grid]]. Installed capacity is 4.89MW. <ref>[https://renewablesandchp.ofgem.gov.uk/Public/ReportViewer.aspx? [[Ofgem]] Summary of Installed Capacity]</ref>

[[Viridor]] have been unable to secure a connection to the local sewerage system, principally due to a lack of local treatment capacity at the receiving [[Landfill|Sewage Treatment Works]]. Consequently, [[Landfill|Leachate]] produced by the site is removed by tanker to appropriately permitted [[Landfill|Sewage Treatment Works]].

==Other Infrastructure==

Elsewhere within the quarry complex, [[Viridor]] also developed an [[In-vessel Composting]] ([[IVC]]) facility to deal with some of [[Devon County Council]]'s separately collected [[Green Waste]]. This facility is no longer in operation and has been converted to be used a [[Waste Transfer Station]].
