Justification 10.1: Impact of Waste Management Facilities
Waste management facilities perform essential functions but undertake complex operations that can adversely affect the environment, with potential risks including odour, windblown litter, and bird activity.
Waste management facilities carry out an important function in the treatment and disposal of waste and will be approved in appropriate locations. However, such facilities often undertake complex operations that can impact adversely on the environment. While environmental standards are continually improving nevertheless there may be potential risks at individual sites, for example, in relation to odour, windblown litter or birds.
