These are extended upwards in advance of the disposal operation to ensure<strong>co</strong>ntinued screening. This is referred to as the “rising green wall” approach. All final levelsand slopes must be in ac<strong>co</strong>rdance with the waste site design and the end-use plan. Slopesshould not be steeper than 1:3 so as to minimise erosion.ZITHOLELE CONSULTING
