The Eves Valley Landfill Management Plan provides guidance on how Stage 2 is to be re-opened, filled and then re-closed, should it be required.

Eves Valley landfill is located approximately 5km north-west of Brightwater in Waimea West. It opened in 1989 and closed in 2017. From 1 July 2017 the Eves Valley Landfill stopped receiving waste and all waste was directed to the York Valley Landfill (located in Nelson City). Upon closure, landfill gas was discharged to air via stone chimney vents installed in the waste pile during the landfilling process. The vents were sealed with the capping of the landfill. An extraction and flare system was installed at Eves Valley landfill in 2022.
