Since 1988, the Council has been monitoring for landfill gas in
and around the Fair Oak area. The Council has reviewed the
current landfill gas sampling and now intends to extend the
sampling area. The leaflet provides details of
the proposals for the extended monitoring together with information
explaining the reasons for the expanded study and a Q+A section
which covers common queries and concerns. The wells have been
installed and monitoring is underway, please see progress update
above.
The area of the study, and choice of monitoring
locations has been based on advice received from
independent consultants and has taken into account the distribution
of the old sandpits, local geology and the results from previous
monitoring that has been undertaken.
A number of the sampling wells are to be
located in the roadway in and around the streets comprising the
residential areas of Stubbington Way and Michaels Way. We will
provide prior notification of these works and updates of progress
on this page. The contractors will keep disturbance to residents to
a minimum and will only work during normal working hours. .The
wells have been installed and monitoring is underway, please see
progress update above
There are also two leaflets from the Health Proteciton Agency,
HPA, about landfill sites and landfill gas and potential
health effects of exposure to landfill gas.
If you have any other questions or concerns not addressed
above please
