Removed the 'Stability Risk Assessment report template' which we've replaced with 'How to do a stability risk assessment: landfill sites for inert waste or deposit for recovery activities' and 'Hydrogeological risk assessment for landfills: 4 yearly review template' which we've replaced with 'Review your hydrogeological risk assessment'. Both are now part of 'Landfill operators: environmental permits.'

We've added links to new guidance on disposing of waste to landfill and to a manual for landfill operators. We've also removed out of date documents.
