[Tagging] Landfill undergoing restoration

[Dian Ågesson]

How should a landfill undergoing active restoration be tagged? Capping a 
landfill is a long process, during which access is normally restricted 
and the company doing the capping is making deliveries of material. If 
the material is hazardous, the land might just sit unused for decades 
before brownfield development can commence.

There is a clear tagging structure for both active landfills and 
abandoned/capped landfills, but a landfill being actively 
restored/rehabilitated doesn't really fit these tags well: the land is 
still identifiable as a landfill and isn't generally used for anything 
else until it's capped; marking it as "disused" doesn't capture the 
current state accurately (as a landfill being capped can't generally be 
changed back to active); and marking it an active landfill isn't 
completely accurate either.

I was thinking of using a tag such as {{tag|landfill|restoration}} to 
capture this information: it could even be rendered slightly 
differently, similar to how {{tag|basin|infiltration}} differs from 
{{tag|basin}}.
Alternatively, a tag like {{tag|landuse|rehabilitation}} in conjunction 
with an abandoned tag could be used for both landfills and any other 
land rehabilitation project?

Thanks,

Dian
