answer text <p>Walley’s Quarry has been the source of unacceptable levels of odour for the local community, who have my sympathy. The Environment Agency is using the regulatory framework to drive improvement and continues to make announced and unannounced site inspections. In the five months to the end of September 2022, monitoring data indicates a monthly average hydrogen sulphide concentration close to or below the long-term health-based guidance value.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We have not assessed the merits of introducing a specific plastic reduction target for local authorities under the Environment Act 2021. We consulted earlier this year on a target for reducing all residual waste excluding major mineral waste. Our consultation set out the rationale for the Government’s proposed choice.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Walleys Quarry Landfill is a high priority for the Environment Agency (EA). The EA has increased the resource focused on regulation of the site and on partnership working to address local concerns as quickly as possible. The EA continues to receive large volumes of complaints from the community surrounding the site and takes each one very seriously.</p><p>Earlier this month, the EA issued Red Industries with an enforcement notice legally requiring specific actions to be completed by 30 April, including the capping of certain parts of the site. This should reduce odours to a level where they do not cause an offence (against permit definition).</p><p>The EA is also working alongside its partners to ensure air quality monitoring covers their health remits. The EA has agreed two further locations, in addition to those that went live in early March, to site air quality monitoring equipment. The additional units will be in place as soon as possible. The EA is sharing this data with partners, including Public Health England, on a regular basis and has supported a Staffordshire County Council led multi-agency statement on health advice.</p><p>The EA is receiving complaint reports from a number of different avenues including via email and phone. These are being updated to the system at regular intervals so these figures may be subject to change.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Date</p></td><td><p>Number of complaints</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>27/02/2021</p></td><td><p>878</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>28/02/2021</p></td><td><p>467</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>01/03/2021</p></td><td><p>180</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>02/03/2021</p></td><td><p>93</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>03/03/2021</p></td><td><p>82</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>04/03/2021</p></td><td><p>60</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>05/03/2021</p></td><td><p>156</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>06/03/2021</p></td><td><p>666</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>07/03/2021</p></td><td><p>395</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>08/03/2021</p></td><td><p>574</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>09/03/2021</p></td><td><p>405</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>10/03/2021</p></td><td><p>159</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>11/03/2021</p></td><td><p>93</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>12/03/2021</p></td><td><p>143</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>13/03/2021</p></td><td><p>67</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>14/03/2021</p></td><td><p>141</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>15/03/2021</p></td><td><p>266</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16/03/2021</p></td><td><p>164</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>17/03/2021</p></td><td><p>351</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>18/03/2021</p></td><td><p>229</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>19/03/2021</p></td><td><p>144</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>20/03/2021</p></td><td><p>206</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>21/03/2021</p></td><td><p>133</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>22/03/2021</p></td><td><p>248</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>23/03/2021</p></td><td><p>222</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>24/03/2021</p></td><td><p>196</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>25/03/2021</p></td><td><p>137</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>26/03/2021</p></td><td><p>94</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>27/03/2021</p></td><td><p>106</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>28/03/2021</p></td><td><p>42</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>29/03/2021</p></td><td><p>64</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>30/03/2021</p></td><td><p>296</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2021</p></td><td><p>235</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>01/04/2021</p></td><td><p>56</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>02/04/2021</p></td><td><p>53</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>03/04/2021</p></td><td><p>149</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>04/04/2021</p></td><td><p>286</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>05/04/2021</p></td><td><p>129</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>06/04/2021</p></td><td><p>150</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>07/04/2021</p></td><td><p>182</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>08/04/2021</p></td><td><p>87</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>09/04/2021</p></td><td><p>159</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>10/04/2021</p></td><td><p>408</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>11/04/2021</p></td><td><p>244</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>12/04/2021</p></td><td><p>237</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>13/04/2021</p></td><td><p>450</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>14/04/2021</p></td><td><p>148</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>10,430</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

answer text <p>We provide below the number of unsubstantiated odour reports that have been received about each site regulated by the Environment Agency (EA) for March 2021. The reports have not yet been verified and therefore may not be accurately attributed. The EA seeks to quality-check attributions each month for sites which attract 20 or more reports. This has not yet been done for this data set due to the short timescale involved. To prevent inaccurate attributions, we have anonymised the names of the sites associated with the reports, specifying only the class of activity undertaken. The total number of reports of odour pollution received by the EA in March 2021 was 7516.</p><p> </p><p>The table below provides the full list of the odour reports associated with each of the EA
