<p>On 26 May 2011, in accordance with Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act
1990, the London Borough of Hillingdon determined the land at the former ‘New Years
Green Lane Landfill Site’ as Contaminated Land as defined by Section 78A (2) of the
Environmental Protection Act 1990 (the Act).</p><p> </p><p>On 6 July 2011, the Environment
Agency (EA) agreed to designate the land at New Years Green Landfill as a Special
Site pursuant to Section 78C (6) (b) of the Act. The site is now within the regulatory
control of the EA under Part IIA of the Act.</p><p> </p><p>There is no proposal to
undertake any such drilling activity at the landfill site. However, the EA is involved
in the technical review of any drilling proposals at this landfill. As a minimum requirement,
any drilling works in the landfill or in areas where waste is suspected must utilise
“clean” drilling methodologies to avoid potential cross contamination between different
parts of the geology.</p>
