Bournemouth - Watchlist site 105
The site
An illegal waste transfer station has been detected at a site in Bournemouth.
The problem
Construction and demolition waste at watchlist site 105 is creating dust and noise, and waste is continually being burnt on the site, presenting a wider risk of fire spreading. The site is also situated adjacent to a stream which could potentially impact the water quality.
The action we've taken
The Environment Agency under the lead of our Area Enforcement Team has carried out an initial investigation, which is ongoing as part of our legal process.
Working with the local authority and the Police we will continue to monitor activity at the site.
