Site planning risk brief

An increase in the capacity of the operational Ash Disposal Facility to allow for the deposition of 130,000 tonnes of dry ash over and above the 550,000 tonnes permitted under Longford County Council Reg. Ref. 01/115; An Bord Pleanala Reg. Ref. PL14.125540. The ash will be disposed of within engineered cells, constructed under the existing permission, and the facility will utilise permitted site services including the existing site entrance from the R392 and other site infrastructure. The facility will exclusively accept ash from Lough Ree Power Station in Lanesborough (Lanesboro) and will operate until 31st December 2020. This planning application will be accompanied by an EIA Report (previously known as an EIS). Lough Ree Power Station and the associated Ash Disposal Facility, are licenced by the EPA under an Industrial Emissions (IE) Licence [Ref. P061002].

An integrated constructed wetland (ICW) over a total area of 5.58 ha located within the existing LRP ADF site, including formation of wetland cells, associated works and access roads using onsite soils. The development will include landscaping both within the wetland cells and surrounding area. The purpose of the ICW is for the management and treatment of leachate arising from the ADF, which is planned as part of their closure, restoration and aftercare management plan. Any discharge waters following treatment through the ICW will flow to two open water cells for containment. LRP station and the ADF are licenced by the Environmental Protection Agency under an Industrial Emissions (IE) licence (Ref. P0610-03). A Natura impact statement (NIS) has been prepared for the purposes of this project.
