==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 [[~~Pennon~~|Haul Waste Ltd]]). It was the company's first in-house developed landfill after the acquisition of the company by [[Pennon]] in 1993.

==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>

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]].
