That's the word from management of the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA).

In a statement issued yesterday, management said that personnel observed the slopes of the landfill during the tremor and again two hours later and "no fissures were created as a result of the 7.3 Richter-scale event. The slopes of the landfill . . . remain stable".

The statement went on to say that further checks were made on Friday "and the leachate liner's integrity remains intact as well as all roads and other works at the entire site".

The SSA added: "Pizometers, which measure any form of movement at Greenland, recorded the tremor data and this was sent to Canada and although it recorded the quake, the landfill remains safe and in order – the earthquake had no effect on the landfill."
