2.3.8 Local - Lifespan of Shewalton Landfill Site:<br />
The Shewalton landfill site is operated in line with the Pollution,<br />
Prevention and Control regulatory regime enforced by SEPA. In order<br />
to comply with this regime there is a need to continue investment<br />
within the site particularly in respect of gas management and energy<br />
recovery, leachate management and the capping of cells as they<br />
become full. It will also be necessary to construct new cells at<br />
Shewalton to receive waste, subject to these works the site is<br />
anticipated to reach capacity by 2016/17.<br />
