Hi All - I noticed that there is a link to the various licenses that exist on the DAERA website & suggests that we require 2 licenses & 1 consent for Marine License, Water Abstraction License & Water Discharge consent so I think at best we will have all 3 by the end of this year.In addition I note that public participation is required for all three (possible).
https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/emfg-niea-public-participation-during-covid-19
abstraction and discharge has already been granted, only ML is required in order to start work.
Both will be reviewed by DAERA but we are still taking sea water out and putting it back, only using a far better control system than when it was granted in 2014. IMHO
Hi tango1 -
The details below are an extraction from the ML application point 11 page 15.
11.Disposal of Material at Sea
Do you intend to apply for a licence to dispose at sea material dredged as part of the works?
Yes No X
However, Islandmagee Energy will be applying for a discharge Licence for Brine Disposal
If Yes, please indicate:
Nature and quantity of material (sand, gravel, silt, clay, rock etc.) - No details given
Edit: However I hope only the ML is now required but why did we need to appoint lawyers?
???????????????????????????????????? ????????????????
Additional question - When were the other licenses etc granted?
November 2014 by the NIEA, Lawyers were to mitigate any timewasting and to show our intent I Believe.
Tango1
I believe the date of July 2014 was for a 'Draft Marine License' only.
'On 22nd October 2012 Islandmagee Storage Limited submitted an application for a Marine Licence. The application included details of the associated marine infrastructure to enable seawater abstraction and the subsequent discharge of brine required for the creation of the caverns by solution mining and the creation of the caverns. On the 10th of July 2014, a Draft Marine Licence was issued to the Islandmagee Storage Ltd for discussion, by the Department of the Environment, Marine Division (ML 28_12) with pre-construction conditions.'
Chris, Please look at the extract from the DAERA site below:
Licences for both the abstraction of seawater and discharge of solution mining brine were issued by Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) on 14th November 2014. Both of these consents will be reviewed in 2020.
Thanks Tango1 - I think the point is that both will be 'reviewed in 2020' on that basis are not final.Time will tell.Thanks.
