Every week, an inspector from Grondbalans on behalf of Schiphol checks whether all storage locations are in good condition. We share these reports with the Environment Agency.
Foil damage repaired
During our inspections in late August, we noted that there was (minor) damage in several places to the foil that covers PFAS-containing soil. We made a thorough inventory and then carried out repairs at all storage sites. We discovered that the damage was caused by animals, such as birds and rodents. We repaired the damage with tape and applied new material and soil cover where needed. The tape is a temporary solution. We are exploring a number of options for a permanent solution.

The Environment Agency itself also regularly checks the storage sites.
