The Environment Agency has approved an updated Waste Recovery Plan (WRP) for Bluelands Quarry in Thurrock, Purfleet which is operated by S Walsh and Sons Ltd.
The WRP has been successfully updated by PDE to enable an additional 240,488m3 of wastes to be imported to Site and complete the development in accordance with Planning Permission. The planning permission requires that the final Site levels are built up above the 1 in 1000 year flood level, which would facilitate reclassification of the Site from Flood Zone 3 (high probability) to Flood Zone 1 (lowest probability).
This will enable S Walsh and Son to restore the Site to the highest environmental standard and in accordance with the approved scheme which has been developed to ensure optimal restoration and use of the Site.
