ABOUT THE PROJECT
Stintons Reserve Leachate Management System
In the 1970s and 1980s the majority of the now Stintons Reserve served as a Council operated tip.
In the late 80’s this was converted to the current reserve. All sporting facilities in the reserve are constructed on top of the landfill and the leachate ponds at the northern end of the Reserve are part of the environmental management system. After 2 spontaneous fires within 6 weeks, the EPA determined that the site needed to be upgraded to current standards for landfill site. Entracon was engaged to create the new Leachate Management System .
