5361- Kilmainhamwood Compost Facility Extension- EIS
7.5 MITIGATION MEASURES
The facility is covered in made ground, with the exception of an area of landscaping along the perimeter
of the site. Soil removed to facilitate construction will be retained within the site and used for
landscaping purposes.
All potentially polluting run-off from the composting process will be contained within the composting
facility. A diesel tank is located on site. This tank is a double skin bowser with a capacity for 2,500 litres.
To minimise any impact on the underlying subsurface strata and the groundwater from material
spillages all waste oils, used spill kits, etc. used during operations will continue to be stored on a
bunded pallet.
All fuel loading will be carried within a bunded designated area within the facility building. Spill kits and
pumping will be employed to deal with any spillages occurring within this bunded area.
Spill kits will be retained on site to ensure that all spillages or leakages are dealt with immediately &
staff trained in their proper use. Any servicing of vehicles on site will be confined to designated and
suitably protected areas. The sites management system for quality, health and safety and
environmental is certified to international ISO standards. Suitable mitigation measures are detailed with
the management systems.
7.6 CONCLUSION
As the site is currently covered in made ground, with the exception of an area of landscaping along the
perimeter of the site, no impacts on the existing geological environment are predicted.
For inspection purposes only.
