Chalberhau inert material landfill site in Rümlang to be expanded
Der kantonale Gestaltungsplan für die geplante Erweiterung der Inertstoffdeponie Chalberhau in Rümlang, erarbeitet unter breiter Beteiligung relevanter Stakeholder, liegt zur öffentlichen Einsichtnahme bereit. Dies bietet Bürgern und Interessengruppen die Möglichkeit, sich aktiv in den Planungsprozess einzubringen.
The Chalberhau inert material landfill in Rümlang is facing a necessary expansion in order to extend its capacity limits and ensure the disposal of non-recyclable residues within the canton of Zurich. The landfill site has a strategically favourable location near Zurich, which enables short transport routes. The existing site will reach its capacity limit at the beginning of 2024, making it necessary to plan an expansion.
The draft of the cantonal design plan “Chalberhau landfill expansion” was developed in collaboration with owners, interest organisations, environmental associations, the municipal administration, the operator and cantonal authorities. In addition to the expansion of the landfill site, the plan also takes into account important environmental and landscape protection measures and defines the steps for reprocessing and final design.
The planning documents will be available for public inspection by all interested parties from 19 April to 21 June 2024. This period allows citizens to express their opinions and concerns, which are then analysed by the relevant specialist departments and recorded in an objection report. The design plan is officially approved by the building authorities once this process has been completed. The broad involvement of the public and the extensive consultations in advance aim to find a balanced solution that takes into account both operational needs and ecological and social requirements.
