Action Planning in Noord-Holland, Netherlands

Afvalzorg is a publicly owned waste management company operating in Noord-Holland and Flevoland. Its mission is to create and to maintain safe landscapes out of waste materials. Afvalzorg used the feasibility criteria as described in SufalNet's Model Strategy in identifying potential landfill sites for redevelopment. After identification of potential sites to be redeveloped in SufalNet4EU in 2009 Afvalzorg selected the Reinaldopark landfill in 2010 to be redeveloped in SufalNet4EU. Afvalzorg works closely with the Province of Noord-Hollland and the Municipality of Haarlem in redeveloping this landfill site.
 
Reinaldapark landfill in Haarlem (20 hectares)
The municipality of Haarlem is located near the western coast of the Netherlands. The Reinalda landfill was in operation between 1954 and 1980. After closure it was covered with a toplayer. In the 1980’s it was transformed into a sportspark.

Haarlem would now like to upgrade the park into a new and attractive park with a wide range of activities to serve the community. The soil coveredge layer has to be remediated because it is too thin and it is partly contaminated with metals and polycyclic aromatics. Furthermore the park does not attract many visitors anymore because of its poor accessibility and low quality of paths and benches. The park has also serious waterproblems during wet periods.
Together with all relevant public stakeholders and local commmunity groups such as the elderlyhome Reinaldahuis, soccer and tennisclub, mosque, artists and temporary parkmanagement a planning process will be carried out in the framework of SufalNet4EU. The upgrading of the park will include a pond, forest and meadows, a cycle and pedestrian network,a restaurant, tennis court, skating and music dome to attract visitors.
