Other Opportunities
Most other odour mitigation measures are common sense. They include: avoiding parking full
waste vehicles on site overnight; providing vacuum venting on leachate sumps and drains;
direct recycling leachate from sumps to sub cover reinfiltration in bioreactor landfills or to
sewer; providing close monitoring and maintenance of gas harvesting systems and flares;
avoiding excessively clayey final cap material or other material prone to dessication or
settlement cracking, or provide for a moist biologically active attenuation capacity in the
vegetation layer; washout of vehicles and their substructure to reduce on road vehicle odour;
avoidance of odour masking agents which merely reinforce noticeable odour occurrence.
