Details of the application
The Environment Agency has received an application to vary an environmental permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 involving substantial change to a permit from C O’Donovan And Sons Limited.
Application number
EPR/KB3500FS/V003
Regulated facility type
The variation is to change the Waste Operation permit to become an Installation. This variation application seeks the following: i. To add a small area to the south of the current permit area which has recently been purchased by the applicant. The area is a private road, owned by the applicant, which will allow better access to the rear yard area and another smaller building that will be used to wash drums. ii. ii) To increase the annual throughput of waste material from 25,000 tonnes per annum to 200,000 tonnes. iii. iii) To increase the storage capacity of non-hazardous waste from 230 tonnes to 900 tonnes at any one time and for hazardous waste from 10 tonnes to 100 tonnes. iv. To increase the daily treatment capacity of non-hazardous waste to 900 tonnes per day and for hazardous waste to 100 tonnes per day. v. To add a significant number of additional waste codes to the permit.
This makes the physio-chemical treatment part of the permitted activities to become an installation. So, in addition to the above changes, the variation also see to add physio-chemical treatment of hazardous waste (Section 5.3 A(ii) activity)and temporary storage of hazardous waste (Section 5.6 activity) as installation activities to the permit.
