Appendix d Waste Licence Application and Working Plan (the drawings and Site investigation report have not been included in the planning application).
This support document has been prepared by Dalrymple Associates, who have been engaged by Isle of Man Government Department of Infrastructure [DoI] as Project Managers for the Northern Civic Amenity Site, and accompanies the Planning Application form. An application for a Waste License has been made concurrently with this application.
Regarding the need, or otherwise, for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reference has been made to the Isle of Man Strategic Plan and to the UK Planning Circular 02/99 (Environmental Impact Assessment). The former refers to complying with UK legislation and the latter is the relevant document. This states that significant impacts will generally depend upon the scale of the development, and the nature of potential impact in terms of discharges, emissions or odour. Installations for the deposit or disposal of household, industrial and/ or commercial wastes for more than 50,000 tonnes/ year or occupying 10 hectares or more are likely to require an Environmental Impact Assessment. The final sentence states: "sites taking smaller quantities of these wastes, sites seeking only to accept inert wastes (demolition rubble etc) or Civic Amenity sites are unlikely to require Environmental Impact Assessments.
The Isle of Man Director of Planning Mr. Ian McCauley and Anthony Holmes were consulted on this matter and in particular he has agreed that for the scale and function of the Northern CA site, an EIA would be unnecessary. However a Planning application by the Water and Sewerage Authority for a Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) is to be progressed in a similar time frame at Balladoole Farm approximately 150m from the Civic Amenity site. The WWTW is to cater for the population of Ramsey and Andreas. Due to the size and nature of the development of the WWTW, it was agreed with the Planning Department that
Environmental Impact Assessments would be developed for both sites so that cumulative impacts can be assessed and mitigation measures put in place. Appendix A contains the Environmental Statement that was developed following the Environmental Impact Assessment.
Dol has a statutory duty to dispose of the Island's waste (Tynwald Public Health Act 1990) and is also charged with the task of implementing Tynwald's Waste Management Policy (Waste Management Report December 2005). The Waste Policy is founded on the principle of reduce, re-use and recycle and acknowledges the proximity principle. Wastes which are not re used or recycled are used to fuel the Island's Energy from Waste Facility. Landfill is used only as a last resort.
The Island is served by four strategically placed Civic Amenity Sites; the Northern facility currently sited at Ballacallow near to the Point of Ayre. The present site was chosen for operational convenience as it was adjacent to the then landfill site and made best use of staff and equipment. This facility now fails to meet expectations in terms of proximity to waste arising, final destination, user safety and convenience.
The function of a Civic Amenity site is principally to receive bulky household waste and other items of similar nature for reuse, recycling or onward transmission to the Energy from Waste facility or landfill. Putrescible household waste will be excluded from the site, although small incidental amounts could be included in packaging. All materials received on site will be 'turned over' frequently and nothing will reside on site for prolonged periods. No waste materials will be burnt on site and therefore there will be no problematic emissions. Combined Planning and Licence conditions
Planning Application ref... Support Document
will ensure continued good management and maintenance so that the facility is kept safe, clean and tidy.
Having determined the need for a modern civic amenity site to conveniently cater for the needs of the northern Parishes, an objective and rigorous site selection process was undertaken. Chapter 2 'Alternatives Considered' of the Environmental Statement reviews the site selection report and its conclusions.
It should be noted that an Area of Special Scientific Interest [ASSI] has been created along the Sulby River from the entrance to Ramsey harbour, extending through the entire town to a point approximately 2km up stream. The ASSI designated on the 25th March 2010 serves to further limit the development of this type of facility in and around Ramsey.
The site is located on the western side of the A10 Bride Road approximately 2 miles from the centre of Ramsey. The grid reference for the entrance to the site is SC 452 969 and the field numbers for the Civic Amenity Site are 130136 and 134028. A site Location Drawing is enclosed in appendix b.
Balladoole Farm was purchased by the Isle of Man Government in February 2009 the farm is 167 Acres in total and the area of development for the Civic Amenity site accounts for 3 % of the farm.
The land currently used as agricultural land. A report published in 2001 "Agricultural Soils of the Isle of Man", identifies the land class for the proposed site as :-
D5 Mixed sandy loams and sandy clay loams
Generally this is high quality land, but with some limitations resulting from drainage problems. However, the soils do not usually suffer from drought and can grow excellent winter cereals or support high quality dairy herds.
The site is defined as being of High Landscape or Coastal value and Scenic Significance according to the 1982 development plan. This issue has been addressed in the Environmental Statement and mitigation measures proposed.
Access to the site will be from the A10 Bride Road. The design of the junction between the A10 has been informed by the Environmental Statement Traffic Chapter 12 and conforms with the Department of Infrastructure requirements.
Tynwald's Waste Management Report (Dec 05) states in Recommendation 4:
> “Tynwald endorses the principle that all Local Authorities contribute to a regional Civic Amenity Site and that all residents have equal access to any Civic Amenity Site on the Island.”
Thus any resident on the Island could access the proposed site. Equally, residents of northern Parishes could access other civic amenity sites on the Island. It is reasonable to suppose, however, that the site will serve only the northern Parishes, give or take a small margin.
The site will be equipped with a range of recycling bins to collect cans, bottles, paper, textiles, large skips for different categories of wastes, and a re-use building. The range of containers will ensure appropriate quality of wastes for recycling and
maximize overall tonnage recovered, consequently resulting in minimal residue for final disposal.
Residents delivering materials will drive onto a roadway elevated to facilitate safe and convenient off-loading into the containers. Full skips will be picked up and exported from the site as required. Traffic arrangements will minimize possible interface between the general public vehicles and trade vehicles. The proposed layout is shown in appendix b.
The operating hours are the same as the current Ballacallow Civic Amenity site, located at the point of Ayre.
The Site will be closed on New Years Day, Good Friday, Tynwald Day, Christmas and Boxing Day.
A copy of the waste licence application and working plan are contained in appendix d. These documents provide additional information on the waste types to be accepted and the processes and procedures to be utilized to ensure that the site is run in a safe, orderly and controlled manner.
The mass of waste to be accepted annually at this site is 10,000 tonnes.
In order to ensure that the Environmental Impacts of the site are fully considered and appropriate mitigation measures have been considered an Environmental Impact Assessment was conducted. The Environmental Impact Assessment
followed the best practice for process as defined in England Wales and Northern Island, and the work was undertaken by AECOM.
A Scoping report was prepared by AECOM considering the following impacts:-
a) Ecology b) Freshwater c) Geo Hydro Soil and Contaminated Land d) Landscape and visual e) Cultural heritage f) Access, Traffic and Transport g) Noise and Vibration h) Air Quality i) Nuisance/Amenity j) Policy k) Community
A full description of the Scoping report process and the Environmental Impact Assessment process are contained in the Environmental Statement for the site. All impacts are identified and mitigation measures proposed where appropriate.
The Fencing for the site will comply with the requirements of the waste licence. It will be a chain link fence 2.0m high.
Having established the need for the facility, outlined the site selection process and described the site and the operation, every effort has been made to scope the potential adverse impacts. A full Environmental Impact Assessment has been undertaken to ensure that each of these potential impacts can be managed and rendered acceptable.
Where operational or management constraints are necessary for the reduction of impact, these will be imposed by either planning or waste licence conditions.

Appendix C
Policy 3: In National Heritage Areas, areas of High Landscape or Costal Value and Scenic Significance, near Ancient Monuments, Registered Buildings and in Conservation Areas, the Department will, when suitable opportunities arise, seek to have overhead Low Tension power lines located underground.
All Electrical cabling will be located underground.
Energy
Policy 5: The Department will prepare a Planning Policy Statement on Energy Efficiency. Pending the preparation and adoption of the PPS the Department will require proposals for more than 5 dwellings or 100 square meters of other development to be accompanied by (sic) an Energy Impact Assessment.
The development is considerably in excess of 100m2. The site therefore requires a Statement on Energy Efficiency. This site will require energy for the following operations on site:
To reduce the required energy usage for lighting only low energy bulbs will be used on site. Transparent panels will be incorporated into the roof area of the reuse area to ensure that additional electric lighting is only used in low light conditions. When the site is closed all lighting will be switched off to minimize energy consumption and light pollution.
Space heating of the office will be controlled by timer and thermostat to ensure that the office area is only heated at the correct times and to the correct temperature. The office will be insulated to the latest and most relevant building regulation standard and the glazing will be double glazed and energy efficient glass.
The office area is less than 40m² and as such represents a very modest area for space heating.
The CCTV will be in constant use 24 hours per day to provide security information for the site. A CCTV system that has a low power usage and low running costs will be specified as part of the detail design of the facility.
The weighbridge is a low power user and will be switched off outside site operating times.
The site although physically relatively large will consume a very modest amount of energy. The site location is close to the centers of population in the North of the Isle of Man, reducing vehicle mileage in comparison with the current site and the Point of Ayre. The site will promote reuse and recycling, the majority of wastes for final disposal going to the Energy from Waste plant for the energy to be recovered from the waste.
Site investigation showed topsoil covering the site with an average thickness of 0.5m, overlying a mixed stratum of sands, gravels and clay. The top soil covering the site will be stripped (approximately 2,500m³) and used for agricultural betterment.
Materials that need to be removed from the underlying stratum will be removed from site and deposited at a Government Licenced Landfill facility, the volume of material will be approximately 1500m³.

The proposed Northern Civic Amenity site is located on the Northern Plain of the Isle of Man, at national grid reference (NGR) SC 4487 9695 (field numbers 130136 and 134028). The location is shown on Drawing 1154B-101 Proposed Location Plan. The proposed waste disposal licence boundary of the site is as illustrated on Drawing 1154B-106 Waste Licence Boundary. The area of the Civic Amenity operations will be approximately 0.3ha. This represents under 1% of the overall area of Balladoole Farm. The whole of Balladoole farm is in the ownership of the Isle of Man Government, Department of Infrastructure (DoI).
Balladoole Farm is in the parish of Lezayre and is accessed from the A10 Bride Road. It is located approximately 1km from Ramsey's northern border with Lezayre.
A Waste Water Treatment Plant may be developed on Balladoole at approximately the same time as the development of the Civic Amenity site. The Waste Water Treatment Plant will be located in field No134028, approximately 150m away from the Civic Amenity site. The access road to the Civic Amenity site will be shared with that of the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
This Working Plan is associated with the Civic Amenity Site only; the Water and Sewerage Authority or their representatives will apply for all necessary statutory approvals associated with the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
The land use for the proposed CA site, the Waste Water Treatment Plant and the surrounding area is predominantly agricultural, the Soil classification for the area being Glacial deposits.
The proposed Civic Amenity site is approximately 20km from the Energy from Waste facility at Richmond Hill, but is in close proximity to wastes arising from the Northern Plain of the Isle of Man.
The Waste Management Plan 2000 states for Civic Amenity sites that they should be "Located away from residential areas (preferably no closer than 150m to the nearest inhabited residence)" the proposed site is greater than 250m from the closest inhabitable residence.
The Civic Amenity Site will accept domestic wastes arising predominantly from the Northern Plain of the Isle of Man (in line with the 3 other Civic Amenity sites on the island any resident can access any site). Activities on the site will be to receive, store, store for reuse, store for recycling, sort, and to transfer all wastes to a suitable final destination. All wastes will be removed from site and no disposal of wastes will take place on site.
Plant and equipment to process the wastes will be operational on site.
The site will accept up to 10,000 tonnes per annum of mixed household, municipal and green wastes. The proposed waste types to be accepted and their European Waste Catalogue Codes are presented in Appendix A.
All other waste types will be excluded from the site, wastes worthy of specific note are vehicle tyres, gas cylinders (specifically Oxygen and Acetylene) and asbestos.
Access to the site will be off the A10 Bride Road. A roadway from the A10 to the site will be constructed, this roadway will be 6m wide and a suitable vision splay will be constructed at the junction with the A10 to modern design standards.
A Transport Assessment in relation to the impact that the development of the facility will have on the road network has been conducted as part of the Planning Application’s Environmental Impact Assessment.
It concludes, “That the access junction on the A10 operates satisfactorily in the opening year, the design year and 15 years after opening.” It further states that there will be no noticeable adverse effect to the neighbours.
The distance to the neighbours measured from the boundary of the site to the closest wall of their property (not to the boundary of the property) are:-
Balladoole Farm 263m Barule Cottage 379m
The site control office, staff welfare facilities and the reuse centre are shown on Drawing 1154B-108 Plan and Elevations of Proposed Site Buildings. The site control office is located in a position to ensure that the public entering the site are adequately controlled and that the commercial vehicles and lorries accessing the site are marshalled effectively.
The site will be surrounded by a 2.0m high chain link fence. There will be 2.0m high gates to the main entrance of the site, the gates will open inwards to enable the gates to be opened even if fly tipping has occurred. The gates will be locked outside of normal working times. Drawing 1154B-107 Example of Gate and Fence Elevation provides details of the fencing and entrance gates.
Continuous monitoring of the fencing around the site will be a part of the daily routine of site staff. In addition, at least once a week the site manager will inspect the condition of the perimeter fencing and inspect for evidence of illegal tipping, break-ins or vandalism. Such inspections and findings will be recorded in the Site Diary.
The site staff will be instructed that, in the event of finding evidence of unauthorised access and/or vandalism, the matter must be reported to the Police and that if it involves unauthorised tipping, the Regulator must be informed as soon as reasonably practicable. Fencing found to be in poor condition will be repaired as soon as possible, and no later than within one week. All buildings, stores and equipment will be suitably locked and secured to prevent unauthorised access.
Additionally CCTV cameras will be in operation, one camera will monitor the site the other will be used to record the registrations of vehicles accessing the facility.
The site has been designed to be safe in operation. During opening hours there will be free access to all areas of site for emergency vehicles. When the site is closed to the public but site operatives are on site the site entrance gates will be closed but not locked. There will be no access to the site when the facility is closed and no operatives are present.
Detailed information will be displayed on the main gates of the facility and on a notice board within the site and it will include:-
The Information boards will be permanent and of a durable nature. Notices will be displayed on the fencing around the perimeter of the site warning persons of the danger of trespass. The notice boards and their content will be reviewed weekly and the condition will be noted in the site diary.
The notice board will be manufactured from 3mm thick aluminium plate and have a durable non reflective surface.
The road to the site will be 6m wide and a suitable vision splay will be constructed at the junction with the A10 to modern design standards.
The on site roadways and hard standing will be made from concrete and will be impermeable. The site will also be serviced by its own drainage system which will include oil and fuel interceptors.
The site will be maintained by the site operatives to ensure that if waste materials are spilt onto the concrete hard standing that they will be cleared away quickly to prevent the tracking of waste material around the site.
Wheel cleaning facilities will not be provided. All areas for waste operations and the movement of vehicles will be made from concrete. All spillages onto the concrete hard standing will be cleared away quickly to prevent the tracking of waste material around the site.
A weighbridge will be provided on site to confirm the mass of all materials leaving the site. The weighbridge will be of sufficient size to accommodate all heavy goods vehicles that will access the site, the position of the weighbridge is shown in the drawings in Appendix B.
All vehicles removing waste from site will be required to use the weighbridge and a record of all materials removed from site will be retained.
The site is to only be operational in daylight. Basic lighting will be provided to ensure that in low light conditions the site does not become dangerous. Lights will be provided to illuminate the reuse areas within the buildings.
Diesel fuel stored on site for the site equipment will be in a bunded fuel storage container. The bund will be of sufficient size to contain 110% of the fuel tank capacity.
A small quantity of hydraulic oil and engine oil will be stored on site in a bunded cabinet; the bund will have a capacity greater than 110% of the largest container or 25% of the total volume of oil which could be stored in the area, whichever is greater.
There will be 5 dedicated staff and visitors car parks. In addition to this there will be parking for 19 cars whilst they deposit or collect material on site. The car parking areas provided for deposit or collection of material are for short term parking. No long term public parking will be provided (greater than 30min).
Sewage from the on site facilities will be directed to a septic tank, this will be designed in line with best practice. The surface water run off will pass through a
Klargester bypass separator with petrol and oil interceptor prior to entering a surface water soakaway.
The site will be operational 7 days per week. Operator instructions will define the daily weekly and monthly maintenance operations that need to be undertaken.
No waste material shall be burned within the boundaries of the site. All outbreaks of fire shall be regarded as an emergency and immediate action shall be taken to extinguish them. All outbreaks of fire shall be notified forthwith to the Department and recorded in the site diary.
The following actions shall be taken
-inform the regulator and the Waste Operations Management Unit.
During periods of dry weather and stronger winds dust may become an issue from some of the hard wastes such as the rubble disposal area. If dust becomes an issue the material should be damped down with a fine spray.
No mud should be present on site as all areas for waste disposal and vehicles are hard and any spills will be cleaned as soon as possible.
Any spillage of oil, fuel, solvents etc on the site shall be dealt with immediately. A spill kit will be available on site that will contain absorbent materials to isolate and absorb the spillage. Spillages should be kept from reaching the drainage system. All absorbent materials used in the clearance of the spillage shall be disposed of to a suitably licensed facility.
There is a perception that any waste facility will cause obvious smells, odour is normally a function of the decomposition or rotting process. All materials will be removed from site as soon as practicable and putresable wastes will be monitored closely and removed from site as a priority.
Windblown material within the site shall be collected as soon as practicable, and immediate measures shall be taken to collect material that has been blown off site.
All designated storage containers shall be covered at the end of the working day.
All containers leaving site will be sheeted or netted to ensure that waste material does not escape in transit to the final disposal point.
As no wastes are to reside on site, good management of the site is key to ensure that receptacles are filled in order, monitored and removed from site as soon as practicable. Thus ensuring that wastes are removed in a timely manner and there is little opportunity to attract vermin and pests.
A specialist contractor will be employed to control pest infestation and the Waste Operations Management Unit shall be informed.
Both birds and rodents are considered a potential nuisance. Scavengers of whatever species would be attracted by sources of food, shelter or nesting material. Good management of the site is key to ensure that receptacles are filled in order monitored and removed from site as soon as practicable. Thus ensuring that wastes are removed in a timely manner and there is little opportunity for scavengers to remove food stuffs or nest on site. The design of the site is such that it is easy to control and keep tidy further adding to the ease of management of the site. Possible nesting materials would include fabrics, paper, cardboard and other soft materials. Such would be contained in suitable bins (textile recycling banks, paper banks etc) or in closed buildings if destined for reuse.
The noise received by neighbours and road users will be in the main, associated with traffic, particularly from the plant and commercial vehicles. The proposed design and layout of the facility will have regard to the effect of hard reflective surfaces and the softer, more absorbent surfaces. The specification of the on-site plant and equipment will meet all relevant noise legislation, and site management will ensure proper maintenance and operation.
Noise will be controlled by effective working practices. Noise levels were measured as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the planning application, the Environmental Statement concluded that noise mitigation measures were not required.
The surface water run off from the site should not be contaminated. A spill kit will be available on site and all spills will be treated as a priority to ensure that they are controlled before reaching the drainage system. Oil and petrol interceptors will be installed as part of the drainage system.
Not applicable as no gases will be generated
Not applicable as leachate will not be created by this facility.
3.13 groundwater monitoring Not applicable for this type of facility.
3.14 surface water monitoring Not applicable for this type of facility.
4.1 site layout Drawing Number 1154B-103 Proposed Site Layout in Appendix B shows the site layout and the areas for specific operations.

4.3 hours of operations Monday to Thursday 8.00am to 4.30pm Friday 8.00am to 4.00pm Saturday 8.00am to 4.30pm Sunday 9.00am to 4.30pm
The Site will be closed on the following days:-
4.4 plant and equipment A shovel loader will be used on site to assist in the loading of wastes into skips and other receptacles. There will be no other mobile plant on site. All equipment used on site will be maintained in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. There will also be a daily check by the site operator to ensure that all fluids are maintained at an optimum level, that there are no leaks or holes in the exhaust system and that the reverse warning signal is operational and audible.
4.5 manning levels
The minimum number of staff for effective operation of the site is 2 people. The site will have an appointed manager who will be responsible for Health and Safety on site and ensuring that the site is run in compliance with the Waste Licence.
The staff will be trained to ensure that they are fully aware of the licence conditions and working plan details. This training will be recorded on their personnel files and their individual training log. The training logs will be held on site and will be available for inspection by the regulator upon request.
All vehicles visiting site will be stopped and an operator will discuss with the driver of the vehicle the types of waste that are to be deposited on site. Any wastes that can not be accepted will be highlighted and the driver will be informed of the disposal route for that type of material.
Additionally an operator will supervise the unloading of the vehicles and the wastes being deposited on site. At this stage any wastes that can not be accepted on site will be highlighted and the driver will be informed of the disposal route for that type of material.
If hazardous materials are brought to site and it is deemed inappropriate to move the material the Environmental Protection Unit and Waste Operations Management Unit will be contacted directly for advise and method of disposal.
Wastes will be segregated into the following types:-
Green Waste
Burnable Materials
Hardcore and rubble
Wood and timber
Plasterboard
Paint
Motor Oil
Car Batteries
Dry Cell batteries
Scrap Metal
TV's & monitors
Fluorescent tubes
Fridges and freezers
Glass
Clothes
Tin and Aluminium Cans
Plastic Bottles
NOTE the full list of waste types are described in the Waste Licence and are in accordance with the European Waste designations.
All wastes will be clearly identified and they will be stored in discrete areas of the site.
Green and Burnable wastes will reside on site for not more than 5 days. Other wastes may reside on site for a longer period as it is important to ensure that wastes are bulked up to commercially viable levels. All wastes will however reside on site for a maximum of one month.
Not Applicable
Detailed records for the site will be kept; there will be a Site Diary which will record all significant events. The waste materials brought to site will only be recorded by exception when there is an issue with the material or materials which do not comply with the waste licence are brought to site.
A record of all materials and the mass of the material will be recorded. All vehicles removing waste material from site will be required to have the mass of material removed from site recorded on site weighbridge.
When the site is finally decommissioned the site will be remediated to a suitable standard for return to its original land use i.e. agricultural.
Appendix A
No wastes other than those specified in Table 1 below shall be accepted at the site.
