APCr Immobilisation Plant and Interim Disposal Solution

Overview

The Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council is proposing to construct and operate an immobilisation plant, to immobilise Class V Air Pollution Control Residue (APCr) generated from offsite Waste to Energy Plants. 

The immobilisation plant is proposed to be constructed at the Red Hill Waste Management Facility, located within the City of Swan. The immobilisation plant will treat APCr to meet Class IV standards suitable for disposal into the existing Class IV Stage 2 landfill waste disposal cell at the Red Hill Waste Management Facility. 

Why your views matter

At this initial stage of the EIA process, comment is simply sought on whether or not the EPA should assess a proposal and, if so, what level of assessment is considered appropriate.

What happens next

Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.

The EPA's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
