What |
Work to cap the Ōnuku landfill is going more slowly than we had hoped due to the wet weather that saturated the site throughout March. We’ll continue remediating the southern face of the landfill cap by excavating some of the old capping material and replacing it with a locally sourced low permeability clay cap. |
---|---|
Why |
The existing landfill cap has eroded and is no longer deemed fit for purpose. A new landfill cap on the southern face is required to protect the landfill. |
Where |
Ōnuku landfill is located at 293 Beach Road, Akaroa. Site access for the works will be gained from Ōnuku Road in Akaroa. |
When |
Early October 2022 to early June 2023. Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm (weather/site condition dependent). |
Contact |
The contractor is Taggart Ltd. Phone (03) 323 7085, Monday to Friday, 8am – 5pm. |
Work Details
The earthworks will involve striping the existing vegetation located on the southern slopes of the landfill, then benching and cutting the slope in preparation for new capping. New low permeability clay capping will be imported from locally sourced locations within Akaroa.
Upon completion the work area will be top-soiled and grassed.
