Leachate: Difference between revisions

The 'go-to' guidance for many in the landfill sector in the UK is still the waste management papers produced in the mid and late 1990's, and Waste Management Paper 26B (WMP26B)<ref name="refB">Waste Management Paper 26B (WMP26B): Landfill Design, Construction and Operational Practice</ref> describes the process of leachate generation and landfill design to contain the leachate and extract it from a [[Landfill]].

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. Such a discharge would be regulated by the [[EA]] in England 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 event that no on-site treatment is possible, and no local connection to the sewage system is possible, Leachate may also be taken to an off-site facility (e.g utility ~~sewage treatment works~~) via road-going tanker for treatment and disposal.
