Geological and Hydrogeological Investigation for Landfill Sites
Sites proposed for landfill or land raising to dispose of potentially polluting wastes must be carefully investigated by suitable experts to determine geological conditions and surface and groundwater behaviour. The Department consults Environment & Heritage Service and the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland for hydrogeological advice.
Sites being considered for landfill or landraising to dispose of potentially polluting wastes, and their surroundings, must be investigated carefully by suitable experts to determine the geological conditions and the behaviour of surface water and groundwater. The Department will consult the Environment & Heritage Service (EHS) for advice on this issue. The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland works closely with EHS and provides specific hydrogeological input in relation to groundwater protection.
