Application for 10 year permission for development to allow for the replacement of fossil fuels through the introduction of lower carbon alternative fuels and to allow for the use of alternative raw materials in their Limerick Cement Factory. To facilitate the on-site handling, storage, and introduction of the alternative fuels and alternative raw materials it is proposed to construct: a tyre storage area with tyre handling/separation area, and associated conveyor kiln 6 with fire water retention tank; a proposed pumpable fluids storage tank which is located within a concrete bund area with associated uploading station all within a 2.4m high security fencing; a proposed fine solids handling building with 2 no. associated truck unloading areas & associated feed conveyors; associated switch room building & associated conveyor from screening building to dosing building at front end of kiln 6, as well as a fine solids transfer building , associated conveyor connecting to a proposed fine solids dosing building to back end of kiln 6 and associated fore-water retention tank; a proposed alternative raw materials storage building with concrete path surround; 3 no. proposed silos for the introduction of free-flowing solids; a proposed by-pass filter comprising a bag filter and a cooling tower with concrete path surround and 1 no. fire-water retention tank. The works include for the demolition of 4 no. steel and metal clad covered car park bay structures. The works also include for associated mechanical equipment and ancillary works, including provision of short sections of internal roadway, pavement, fencing and landscape works. In reducing the quantity of fossil fuel use, the proposed development seeks to introduce a range of alternative fuels up to a maximum of 90,000 tonnes per annum. The use of alternative raw materials is contained within this proposed overall quantity. The application area extends to 10.52 hectares within Limerick Cement Factory (this application relates to an activity for which an Industrial Emissions Licence applies under the Environmental Protected Act 1992, as amended (Industrial Emission Licence Register Number P0029-03.
