These are landfills operational between 1977 and 1997
A remediation plan is being developed for another Kildare legacy landfill.
These are landfills operational between 1977 and 1997, which have now been regularised.
There are 28 legacy sites in Kildare, in all.
A risk assessment reveals 7 sites are classed as high risk, 11 as moderate risk and 10 as low risk.
KCC was allocated funding in 2019 to conduct additional assessments of two sites, at Knocknagarm and Pollardstown.
The council has now tendered for the provision of an Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation Plan, including ground investigations, for Pollardstown.
It is deemed a high risk site.
KCC says "There are a number of locations identified which had insufficient or no ground investigation data. The purpose of this investigation is to provide supplementary data for the environmental assessment of the site"
The deadline for the response to the tender is August 6th.
