The request was successful.

Dear Enfield Council,

We spoke recently about how you check whether road planings are hazardous or non-hazardous waste. The questions to ask are:
1. When undertaking roadworks how deep do you or your contractors normally dig?
2. How do you establish whether the excavated material constitutes hazardous or non-hazardous waste?

Yours faithfully,

Emma May

Dear Emma May,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 – INFORMATION REQUEST

Thank you for your email of 3rd September where you requested information about road planings

The information you requested is provided below.

In answer to your questions regarding Enfield's carriageway resurfacing programme and the testing for hazardous material.

1. The depth of works carried out as part of Enfield's carriageway resurfacing programme is dependent upon the defects/ failures in the carriageway, their severity and information gathered from our extensive coring programme. The depths of repair are either 25mm, 40mm, 100mm or for Carriageway recycling 240mm or for a full depth carriageway reconstruction approximately 600mm.

2. Each year once a programme of works has been established an extensive coring programme is undertaken. The material from the cores is taken to a UKAS accredited lab where it is crushed and tested. The results from these tests confirm whether the existing materials are hazardous or non-hazardous. These results are then used in the design process to confirm the type of maintenance required.

I trust the above answers your questions.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be addressed to:
