a

in point 2.3.2, the criteria to ensure that granular waste will have sufficient physical stability and bearing capacity are that it has either—

i

if it is cohesive waste, a mean in situ shear strength of at least 50kPa, or

ii

if it is non-cohesive waste, an in situ bearing ratio of at least 5%;

b

point 2.4.2 is to be read as if, in addition to the criteria listed, it requires the satisfaction of the criteria in paragraph (a)(i) and (a)(ii).
