There are currently no known outstanding effects for the The Landfill (Scotland) Regulations 2003, Paragraph 2.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
2.—(1) Samples of leachate or surface water (if present) must be collected at representative points.
(2) Sampling and measuring of the volume and composition of any leachate must be performed separately at each point at which leachate is discharged from the site.
(3) Monitoring of surface water (if present) shall take place at at least two points, one upstream from the landfill and one downstream.
(4) Gas monitoring must be carried out for each section of the landfill and representative samples must be collected and analysed in accordance with Table 1.
(5) A sample of leachate and water representative of the average composition, shall be taken for monitoring purposes in accordance with Table 1.
Notes to Table 1 | ||
(1) Longer intervals may be allowed if the evaluation of data indicates that they would be equally effective. For leachates, the conductivity must always be measured at least once a year. | ||
(2) These do not apply where leachate collection is not required under paragraph 2(1)(c) of Schedule 3. | ||
(3) The frequency of sampling may be adapted on the basis of the morphology of the landfill waste (in tumulus, buried, etc) (but only if SEPA considers that the conditions of the landfill permit should allow for it). | ||
(4) The parameters to be measured and substances to be analysed vary according to the composition of the waste deposited. They must be specified in the conditions of the landfill permit and reflect the leaching characteristics of the wastes. | ||
(5) On the basis of the characteristics of the landfill site, SEPA may determine that these measurements are not required. | ||
(6) These measurements are related mainly to the content of the organic material in the waste. | ||
(7) CH4, CO2, O2 regularly, other gases as required, according to the composition of the waste deposited, with a view to reflecting its leaching properties. | ||
(8) Efficiency of the gas extraction system must be checked regularly. | ||
Operational phase | After-care phase (3) | |

This timeline shows the different points in time where a change occurred. The dates will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. The first date in the timeline will usually be the earliest date when the provision came into force. In some cases the first date is 01/02/1991 (or for Northern Ireland legislation 01/01/2006). This date is our basedate. No versions before this date are available. For further information see the Editorial Practice Guide and Glossary under Help.
