Mr. Llew Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what assessments he has made of the
increase in (a) heavy vehicle traffic, (b) vermin and (c) noise levels arising from the operation of a landfill site. [129969]
Mr. Meacher: The Government have not made such assessments for individual sites. An assessment of the impact of an individual site
is made when a development planning application is made.
The Government have published two relevant studies. "The Control of Noise at Surface Mineral Workings" was in 1990, and "The
Environmental Effects of Traffic Associated with Minerals Working" in 1998. While they refer to surface mineral workings, the
contents are applicable to landfilling. The Department issued in May 2000 a consultation draft of Mineral Planning Guidance Note 11,
"Controlling and Mitigating the Environmental Effects of Minerals Extraction in England". This provides guidance on noise, with
specific reference to the issue of waste disposal sites.
Vermin should be controlled by the operator and regulated by suitable conditions in the waste management licence.
