Did contravene a regulation relating to industrial waste at Clarinda, between 14.08.2015 and 20.08.2015, contrary to 27A(1)(b).

On 31 August 2015 EPA Officers responded to a report that contaminated soil/industrial waste had been illegally deposited at the Transpacific Waste Management Landfill at Carroll Road in Clarinda (TPI).  Officers observed a stockpile of soil that contained broken bathroom tiles and other friable material. Sampling of the waste showed the waste to be Cat A prescribed industrial waste (PIW).  The Carroll Road Landfill held EPA Licence 12412, at the time of the alleged offence.  Licence 12412 allowed TPI to accept solid inert waste and shredded tyres.  The investigation showed that Cat A PIW deposited at TPI was generated at 62 Vinter Avenue Croydon (the site) over the period 14 – 20 August 2015 during the excavation of contaminated soil at the site.  Approximately 800 tonnes of waste was transported from the site to TPl.  Watson Environment Assessments issued three assessment reports categorising soils at the premises as cleanfill as opposed to previous environmental reports categorising the soils as Cat A PIW.
