Old municipal waste landfills inventoried in the Contaminated Sites Registration System
Suchánek, Zdeněk ; Řeřicha, Jaroslav
The database of the Contaminated Sites Registration System, filled in at the end of 2021 as part of the National Inventory of Contaminated Sites for the number of 10,134 records of assessed contaminated and potentially contaminated sites, contains, amongst other data, 4,619 sites registered as a “Solid Municipal Waste Landfill” type. This part of the database, together with additional information sources, was analysed in terms of parameters such as landfilling duration, landfill closure date, landfill size (area), location (territorial representativeness), state of knowledge about the landfill, and its risk and time urgency for possible corrective measures. We interpreted the obtained historical and current data on old municipal waste landfills and used them for the preparation of criteria for multi-criteria selection of the main types of old landfills and the selection of specific sites for sampling and technical works, to be done within the subsequent research project. The selection of landfills for sampling will be representative in the case of old municipal waste landfills, which are located in the South Bohemian, South Moravian, Central Bohemian and Vysočina regions. They should have an area of more than 100 m2, be of categories P and A, not having any set corrective measures, with an absence of the financing of remedial measures, be landfilled between 5 to 55 years and their landfilling activities having been terminated in the 1990s.
