development proposals for european landfill sites
INTRODUCTION
SufalNet4EU has brought together 15 regional and local authorities from 10 EU Member States to transform
former and abandoned landfill sites into city parks, music domes, sports facilities, renewable energy centres,
industrial estates, business parks and even a pet wellness centre.
This Interregional Cooperation Project has been funded by INTERREG IVC. This Programme, which is financed
by the European Union’s Regional Development Fund, helps Regions of Europe work together to share
experience and good practice in the areas of innovation, the knowledge economy, the environment and risk
prevention.
Over a two year period beginning in January 2010, SufalNet4EU has produced 15 Action Plans for 29 landfill
sites covering more than 500 hectares and triggering an investment volume of at least € 160 million. Working
closely and intensively together, Project Partners have exchanged ideas, analysed problems, proposed solutions
and supported each other in creating their individual Action Plans.
To deliver 15 Action Plans, Project Partners have worked in 3 thematic Working Groups focussing on:
• Redevelopment on a Regional scale: Campania Region (Italy), South Transdanubian Environment
and Water Directorate (Hungary), Marshall office of the Wielkopolska Region (Poland),
Extremadura Region (Spain) and Province of Noord-Brabant (Netherlands).
• Redevelopment of Nature&Landscape: Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council (United
Kingdom), Municipality of Lavrio (Greece), County of Böblingen (Germany), Sicily Region (Italy)
and City of Košice (Slovakia).
• Redevelopment of Economic functions: NV Afvalzorg (Netherlands), Bistrita City Hall (Romania),
Belfast City Council (United Kingdom), Málaga Provincial Council (Spain) and County of
Ludwigsburg (Germany)
In a 5-phased step-by-step approach, each adding a new ‘chapter’, the draft Action Plans evolved into their
final version for delivery at our Final Conference. At every step, questions on critical issues were addressed
by all Project Partners in papers and in presentations at four plenary Conferences and nine Working Group
meetings.
At the Launch Conference of SufalNet4EU on 27 & 28 April 2010 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, (Netherlands) step
1 was presented and discussed in their Working Group. This was to identify and select the landfil sites for
redevelopment and it resulted in identifying and selecting of 36 landfill sites covering more than 500 hectares.
In September and October 2010 the three Working Groups focussed on land use planning and met as follows:
• Working Group for Economic Functions met on 15 & 16 September 2010 in Ludwigsburg
(Germany);
• Working Group for Nature&Landscape met on 21 & 22 September 2010 in Košice (Slowakia);
• Working Group for Regional scale met on 5 & 6 October 2010 in Poznan (Poland).

On 8 & 9 December 2010 all Project Partners attended a coördination conference in Lavrio, Greece to present
and discuss step 3 i.e. environmental issues and technical aspects of landfill redevelopment.
In March and April 2011 a further round of Working Group meetings was held focussing on implementation
aspects such as public engagement, financing and legal aspects.
• Working Group for Economic Functions met on 15 & 16 March 2011 in Bistrita (Romania);
• Working Group for Nature&Landscape met on 23 & 24 March 2011 in Palermo/Agrigento (Italy)
• Working Group for Regional scale met on 7 & 8 April 2011 in Caceres (Spain).
On 15 & 16 June 2011 a plenary Coördination Conference was held in Belfast (Northern Ireland, UK). Project
Partners presented their first Draft Action Plan and displayed their landfill site development proposals on
posters. Key note speakers spoke on European funding, the European Investment Bank and how best to
attract private investment.
In September and October 2011 the second draft Action Plans were presented and discussed at a further
round of Working Group meetings. Thereafter,
• Working Group for Regional scale met on 14 & 15 September 2011 in Pécs (Hungary);
• Working Group for Nature&Landscape met on 26 & 27 September 2011 in Böblingen (Germany);
• Working Group for Economic functions met on 5 & 6 October 2011 in Málaga (Spain).
Finally, all Action Plans were delivered by the Project Partners and their political representatives at the Final
Conference in Cava dei Tirreni (Italy) on 16 & 17 November 2011. The politicians signed a Political Statement
seeking to have their Action Plan implemented and to continue interregional coöperation for European cofunding.
SufalNet4EU was administered by the Province of Noord-Brabant, Netherlands as Leading Partner.
The following summaries describe the current state and location of the sites ear-marked for redevelopment
together with the Partner’s vision for the future and how this can be achieved. The political statement signed
by politicians representing each of the Project Partners is also attached.

MESSAGE
VISION
SufalNet4EU pushed this
project so that it is ready for
implementation. Just 1,5 year
was needed from technical
study to realisation of the
photovoltaic plant. In order to
return the landfill sites to the
forest another testing area for
reforestation was installed at
the Böblingen landfill. Both
photovoltaic plant and testing
area for reforestation are very
good results of the project. For
the other landfills wind power
and forestry recultivation will
be continued.
On the south facing slopes of
the landfill solar panels will be
installed. A variety of structural
variants has been analysed and
developed to ensure the stability
of the panels on the steep
slopes and the maintenance of
surface sealing. After technical
planning, economic analysis,
planning permission and tender
construction has begun in
july 2011. So already during
SufalNet4EU this Action Plan
is being implemented. Over 30
years time the landfill will be
reforestated and given back to
the forest.

MESSAGE
VISION
As a second measure in SufalNet4EU project a
feasability study for wind power on the landfills
Leonberg, Sindelfingen and Autobahn/Rennstrecke
was contracted. The study demonstrated that
the landfill Autobahn / Rennstrecke has the best
wind potential in accordance with the wind
atlas of Baden-Wuertemberg. This study also
confirmed that 2 wind turbines are technically
and economically feasable. Over 30 years time the
landfill will be reforestated and given back to the
forest.
The installation of wind power plants on landfills
is basically unproblematic regarding stability,
although conditions for the relatively complex
foundation have to be explored and considered.
As part of the aftercare of the landfills in the
county of Böblingen the suitability of the closed
landfills have been studied for the implementation
of wind energy.

VISION
•2 million m3 / 1,2 million
tonnes of waste stored
•Around 18 hectares and a
height of 40 metres at is
highest
•Waste dumped since the
1950’s and landfilled until
207
•Landfill is located in the
western part of the city in
close proximity of residential
area
•It is situated on the northern
bank of the Baška brook in a
hilly and forested area
•Myslava is classified as a
likely environmental burden
and has received a grant for
remediation of the site bank
of the Baška brook in a hilly
and forested area.
Because of residential
neighbourhoods, surface water
and forest nearby public health
and environment have to be
protected against the impacts
of the landfill. The area of the
landfill is to be recultivated in
order to give access to the forests
and fields around. Pursuant to
the completed re-cultivation
project for the Myslava landfill,
the site should be returned to
a grassy surface immediately
following re-cultivation with no
additional redevelopment during
this phase while the site will
be used in the same manner as
other forest meadows (clearings).

SITE
MESSAGE
•Cannetiello landfill is located in Cava de’ Tirreni
on the western slopes of the Mounts of Salerno
in a landscape protected- and landslide risk
area;
•About 300.000 m3 of municipal solid waste has
been dumped and the landfill covers a surface
of approximately 1.3 hectare
•Waste has been dumped until 1994
•The landfill site has to be sealed, stabilised
and drained for the leachate as environmental
interventions.
With the approach of SufalNet4EU, it will be
possible thanks to the photovoltaic system to
generate revenue and to reduce by more than
50% public funding necessary to the reclamation

This result represents a significant achievement,
especially considering that the site has a low
financial value to the potential reuse of the area
because of a number of constraints and to the
small surface of the area (1.3 hectares).

SIGNATURE
George Avram, Vice Mayor of
Bistrita City Hall
BENEFITS
VISION
• O
ne of the most important
benefits of the participation
of Bistrita as a partner in
the SufalNet4EU Project
is the chance to create a
Local Action Plan for the
redevelopment of the
former Zavoaie Landfill;
• The exchange of good
practices was also an
advantage for Bistrita as
all the other partners have
already closed their sites and
began the redevelopment
of the landfills so that
Bistrita could learn and take
advantage of the partners’
ideas in order to adapt those
ideas to Bistrita’s needs;
• Working with professionals
and dedicated people was
also a benefit and Bistrita’s
project team had a lot to
learn from them in order
to attend future projects
that involve partnerships
between EU members;
• A total investment of € 6
million.
Preferred option is a city park
comprising four elements:
skateboard park, outdoor fitness
area, children’s play area and an
interpretative centre. Linkage to
the city via a river walkway is an
important element in this vision.
Continued political support and
stakeholder engagement will
be a continuing requirement
especially from decision makers
and funders.
MESSAGE
It is a great honour for Bistrita
to be a pioneer in this kind of
project in Romania. Bistrita is
the first city in Romania that
closes its landfill site and starts
a redevelopment plan. Access
to European funding has been
and will be a significant benefit
of the lives of the citizens of
Bistrita.
This opportunity will raise
expectations and hopes in
transforming a degraded
environment into a positive
new amenity for the city.

an agricultural area and is
currently in use as pasture,
grazed by sheep.
•An integrated area
development of 32 hectares
that include residential
area, waterretention and
restoration of cultural
values in typical hedges
(Maasheggen)
•Environmentally controlled
landfill as a public park in
residential area
•a total investment of €

Because of climate change
high flood waves are to be

river could be polluted by the
waste dumped in the landfill.
Therefore the municipality
wants to start an integrated
area development (32 hectare)
in the floodplain of the river
Meuse with neighbourhood
park, water retention,
restoration of typical hedge
forms, sport facilities and
residential area’s on new dike

of concerns for public health risks community’s
acceptance is crucial in this redevelopmentplan
Our aim is to create an open atmosphere where
all stakeholders are free to express their concerns

participation.
This is not a formal consultation process but the
views of the stakeholders are decisive in the
implementation of the plan. Social acceptance is
a key implementation aspect for having landfills
