Landfills former high potential redevelopment, points

Map of the former landfills that have high potential to be redeveloped. What are former landfills? These are landfills where waste has been landfilled in a (far) past until 1996. As a result, the soil may be contaminated. How serious this pollution is is not always known. In general, the risks are low, so there is no need to clean up the soil. Information on redevelopment in 2016 Approximately 150 former landfills, based on an analysis from 2016, are directly suitable for redevelopment. The criteria of the analysis are detailed in the text. The other 940 have already been redeveloped or found unsuitable over time. The intention of the province is to include former landfills at an early stage in the decision-making processes of an area development. In this way, we are smarter with our space. The suitability of the sites lies with the installation plan and the surrounding area of the landfill. Different locations can be made suitable for, for example, solar energy, or the installation of windmills, housing construction or business parks. Redevelopment of a former landfill imposes new technical requirements, for example: • The quality of the top layer • The carrying capacity • Dewatering The measures to this end also improve the environmental quality at and around these landfills. And that means environmental gain. Criteria of the analysis in 2016 Former landfills with a high chance of redevelopment are: — Within existing urban and villages @-@ area (BSD) and the site is unbuilt, does not contain infrastructure, open space or land that is less capital intensive than the immediate environment. Here, compaction/redevelopment could take place in connection with the environment — Adjacent to BSD, undeveloped, no infrastructure, open space or less capital intensive land. Here a development can take place in connection with the environment — Outside BSD in the building tapes, corners, residual spaces, etc. which are not part of a contiguous open area to be preserved Former landfills with a low chance of redevelopment are: — Under housing, businesses, infrastructure — In recreation area, park, Natuurnetwerk Nederland (formerly EHS) — In open agricultural area
