Proposal description

For the importation of soil and stone material to infill and re-contour the subject site. Once the importation is complete, the applicant will seed the land in line with Teagasc guidelines and return it to agricultural use. The Operational Phase will see the 4.28 hectare site being used as pastureland for horses. The applicant proposes, subject to planning, to import clean greenfield soil and stone to remediate approximately 3.82 ha of the total site. The 3.82 ha is divided into four distinct areas - Phase Area 1 is 0.99 ha, Phase Area 2 is 1.40ha, Phase Area 3 is 1.11ha, and Phase Area 4 is 0.31ha. A plan has been drawn up for the importation of approximately 52,765.5 tonnes to fill Phase Area 1, 40,749 tonnes to fill Phase Area 2, 23,937 tonnes to fill Phase Area 3, and 4,551 tones to fill Phase Area 4, equating to a total of 122,002.5 tonnes. Permission is being sought for a 5- year period and will be subject to a waste facility permit
