General Landfill sites are contaminated sites and when monitoring is required, the safety of staff is of paramount importance. In order to monitor the quality of the landfill site both the specific contaminant concentration (SCC) and the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) are determined. The results from this testing are then assessed against the NSW EPA’s Environmental Guidelines: Assessment, classification and Management of Liquid and Non-Liquid Wastes. Protocol NSW EPA – Presentation on Assessment and Classification of
Waste in NSW The Protection of the Environment Operations Act, 1997 makes it mandatory to use the Environmental Guidelines: Assessment, Classification and Management of Liquid and Non-Liquid Wastes (Waste Guidelines) for both liquid and non-liquid waste assessment and classification. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/publications/waste_guide.pdf; http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/addcontamts.pdf Costs Greater than $500 per sample. Quotations from NATA certified laboratories would specify costs. Case studies Stephen Moore, UNSW – Designation and Classification of Hazardous
