Environmental Control
Knox Associates
Environmental risk assessment is a requirement for many planned waste facilities, especially landfills. On-going monitoring of leachate, groundwater and surface water provides the operator with a complete picture of conditions within the site and the surrounding environment. Monitoring provides an evidential record of compliance with control levels and helps the operator avoid problems before they arise. A suitable monitoring régime and the skilled interpretation of data can help meet these objectives. Knox Associates has extensive experience of monitoring and assessment at landfills and other waste facilities.

- groundwater risk assessment at landfills
