For the last few days we have been preparing the site for the drilling of the 11 deep wells to rectify the odour problem from Cell 6. This work included infilling part of Cell 6 with soil to create a level platform to work from.
This preparation work is now complete and drilling/installation of the wells will start today. We are aiming to have eight wells installed, connected up to the gas extraction system and functioning by Friday. The remaining three wells will be installed at the beginning of next week.
Whilst this work is taking place, there will be no tipping and no deliveries of waste or soils to the site.
