A food processing facility in New South Wales faced rising wastewater volumes that threatened to disrupt production, strain onsite storage and complicate compliance in a tightly regulated sector. Without controlled reduction, the site risked operational bottlenecks and increased disposal pressure during peak processing periods.

Municipal landfills in New South Wales operate under tight environmental controls and must manage leachate volumes that rise quickly during wet periods. At this site, sustained rainfall and limited storage capacity pushed leachate levels toward critical thresholds, creating risks of overflow, regulatory non-compliance and operational disruption.
