the construction of a reinforcement buttress to the extant embankment walls of the Tailings Storage Facility. The development works will consist of the construction of a rockfill and earthen reinforcement buttress to sections of the extant embankment walls of the Tailings Storage Facility. The proposed buttress, to be constructed on the downstream slope and at the crest of the Stage 1,2 and 3 starter embankments, will provide additional support and increase the overall stability of the extant upstream raises i.e. Stage 4 and Stage 5. The proposed development will not increase the footprint nor the overall height of the extant structure. The proposed development relates to an activity covered by the Company's Industrial Emissions Licence Ref No. P0516-04. An Environmental Report for the development will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the planning application. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) for the development has been prepared and will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the planning application.

the development works will consist of: The lateral extension to the existing tailings storage facility (TSF) in the townland of Randalstown and the construction of an Integrated Constructed Wetlands (ICW) system in the townland of Simonstown, Navan, Co. Meath. The proposed TSF extension to be referred to as Stage 6, will extend over an area of c. 58 hectares (internal basin area of c. 43 hectares), extend to a height of 22m above ground level and will provide a storage volume of approximately 9.6 million cubic metres of mine tailings (13.6 million tonnes). The development will be undertaken in two phases; Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 will extend to a height of 14 metres; 59.29 mAOD while Phase 2 will extend the overall height to 22 metres; 67.29 mAOD. The TSF extension will be constructed using fill materials sourced in-situ from development of the basin area of the facility and the remainder imported from third party, licenced suppliers. The constructed TSF cell will incorporate a composite lining system. Access to the site will be from existing site entrance along the L-74141. To facilitate the construction of the TSF extension an existing unoccupied single storey dwelling and ancillary farm buildings will be demolished. A temporary car park will be constructed to exist for the duration of the construction works. The ICW will be constructed over an area of c. 12 ha and will be located on the applicant's property south of the existing TSF in the townland of Randalstown and Simonstown, Navan, Co. Meath. The ICW will discharge to the Blackwater River via an underground pipeline. Access to the ICW site will be from the TSF site. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the development will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the planning application. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) for the development has been prepared and will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the planning application. The proposal will require a revision of the Company's Industrial Emissions Licence (IEL) P0516-03 by the Environmental Protection Agency.
