This report was commissioned by Planning Services to inform the Island Plan Review process and more specifically to assist in determining:

• the remaining life of La Collette II reclamation site for waste disposal
• the time it will take to create land at the site for the possible relocation of the Fuel Farm

The study examines 

• the nature of the reclamation site
• agreed plans for the extent and levels of fill
• historic figures on the tonnage of material being deposited at the site
• the rate at which land was being created

 It also takes into account principal factors affecting the remaining life expectancy, including:

• changes in the level of construction activity
• the impact of Site Waste Management Plans used on development sites
• the growing activities of private waste management contractors
• the financial disincentive of the gate fees at La Collette
• the performance of the La Collette Reclamation Centre

The report concludes that La Collette II should be closed to the general receipt of inert waste in 2018, but recommends that permission be sought to enable temporary super filling of inert waste at the site until a replacement inert waste disposal site is made available.
