Although the classification of Ha<strong>za</strong>rdous waste disposal sitesdoes not take size into ac<strong>co</strong>unt, as it is based solely on the Ha<strong>za</strong>rd Rating, it is nonethelessimportant to establish the present rate of deposition, in order to calculate airspace utilisationand volumes of <strong>co</strong>ver material needed. This in<strong>for</strong>mation is necessary <strong>for</strong> <strong>co</strong>nsideration in theDevelopment and End-use Plan. The present rate of deposition is approximately 22,758tonnes per month, that is, 1,035 tonnes per day (273,091 tonnes /annum).The volume of waste disposed per month amounts to an estimated 26,941 m 3 (323,293m 3 /annum), and that disposed per day amounts to 1,225 m 3 / day.
