Proposal description

(I) establishment of an inert soil waste recovery facility to provide for the importation of approximately 1,200,000 tonnes of natural inert waste materials, principally excess soil, stone and / or broken rock to backfill the pit void to former ground level and improve lands currently in agricultural use. The development will be carried out on a phased basis and will be completed within 8 years; (ii) share use, with the existing Kilsaran concrete manufacturing and waste facilities, of existing site and services infrastructure including site office, staff welfare facilities, weighbridge (with dedicated office), wheelwash, hardstand areas, fuel storage tanks and site access; (iii) use of section of existing concrete block curing shed as a waste inspection and quarantine facility; and (iv) temporary stockpiling of topsoil pending re-use as cover material for final restoration of the site. The proposed development requires a waste licence from the Environmental Protection Agency. An Environmental Impact Statement (now referred to as an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIRA)) will be submitted
