Action Plan

No further action required. Following environmental site investigations, remediation work was carried out in winter of 2011. As reported in the 2016 Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment and confirmatory sampling within the 2016 remediation report for the former landfill, remediation objectives were achieved. No further action was recommended and as such the monitoring wells were decommissioned in 2017-18 and the site file closed. The site will continue to be used for research.
