Closing of landfill site, Slettemoen
Krødsherad municipality incorporates climate measures and surface runoff management into the closure of Slettemoen land fill site.
Slettemoen land fill site was operative as a waste disposal site for household and trade waste from approx. 1980 to 1995 and has
since been used as an interim storage for sludge from sewage and treatment plants. Upon closing this land fill, Krødsherad
municipality has chosen a variety of measures designed to reduce pollution to a minimum. The closure includes covering
the land fill with a solid cover and installing terrain surfaces ensuring proper runoff management. A methane oxidation filter is
installed to break down greenhouse gases from the organic waste in the land fill. Multiconsult estimates that the filter contributes
to a reduction of approx. 5000 tonnes of yearly greenhouse gas emissions. Krødsherad’s choices helps minimize the impact of the closure on the local community.
