Details of the application
The Environment Agency has received an application to vary an environmental permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 from Magnox Limited.
Application number
PR2TSE10760/V003
Regulated facility type
Trade Effluent Treatment Plants
Regulated facility location
Bradwell Site
Magnox Limited
Bradwell-on-Sea
Southminster
Essex
CM0 7HP
National grid reference discharge point
TL 99650 09150
Receiving environment
Blackwater Estuary
Effluent types
(1) An admixture of site drainage, having received pH adjustment and settlement and secondary treated sewage effluent.
(2) Effluent from a treatment plant processing drainage from radiological controlled areas. The treatment includes pH adjustment, filtration and ion exchange.
Volume
(1) 130 cubic metres per day in dry weather
(2) 40 cubic metres a day
The application is to vary the existing permission which allows the two effluents to be discharged to the estuary in admixture through the site’s former large cooling water pipe. The applicant is requesting that the permit allow a change to new outlet pipes at the same location when the cooling water pipe silts up. This would entail the two discharges being emitted separately.
