The Eves Valley Landfill Management Plan provides guidance on how Stage 2 is to be managed while accepting Class 3 waste, and on how the landfill is to be filled and then re-closed, should it be required to accept Municipal Solid race..

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 Municipal Solid 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.

The Eves Valley landfill was reopened in 2024 to accept Class 3 contaminated soil. Resource consents are being sought during 2026 to increase the Class 3 waste capacity.
