Landfill Leachate at St Chad's Well Billet Road

 

Bellways Billet Road contaminated landfill site is adjacent to St Chad's Well but its contaminating the well and stream.

The existing slurry wall is obviously not working and its getting worse!

Leachate - the liquid that percolates through a landfill site - can contain dangerous substances such as heavy metals, pesticides, harmful bacteria and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

These can seep from the waste and into the soil and groundwater, and therefore contaminate the air, soil and water supply around the site.
