Mt Walton East Intractable Waste Disposal Facility
The Mt Walton East Intractable Waste Disposal Facility is located approximately 480km northeast of Perth and is managed by the Building Management and Works division of the Department of Treasury and Finance.
Intractable wastes do not have commercially viable recycling, reuse or disposal options and include wastes such as low-level radioactive materials that need time to breakdown and chemical wastes such as arsenic that are not readily destroyed. These wastes need long-term management. The Facility provides a location where intractable wastes can be permanently isolated to protect the community and the environment.
The operation of the Facility is governed by the Minister for the Environment and requires a waste register database be prepared, maintained and made publicly available.
Persons seeking information from the database or requiring further information about the Facility should contact Stewart Barrett on 9440 2317 or at stewart.barrett@bmw.wa.gov.au.
