Proposed Development
Development Description:
permission for a development consisting of (1) excavation of the former (Drumgoosat) underground mine by open cast mining methods for the purposes of gypsum extraction at Knocknacran (East & West) and Drumgoosat, Co. Monaghan. Development will include the construction of a Cut-and-Cover Tunnel under the Carrickmacross to Kingscourt regional road (R179) for the transport of gypsum (by haulage truck and covered conveyor) to the existing processing plant area at Knocknacran, and for the transport of overburden and interburden (by haulage truck) to the existing Knocknacran Open-Cast Mine site for ongoing restoration purposes. The construction of the proposed tunnel will necessitate a temporary realignment of the R179 during the tunnel construction period to allow the R179 to remain in constant use. Development will also include: the demolition of one house and three unoccupied houses and sheds in the townlands of Knocknacran (East & West), Co. Monaghan; and the pumping of water from the existing Drumgoosat underground workings via an existing borehole on the Knocknacran West Mine site. (2) The continued ongoing restoration of the existing Knocknacran Open-Cast Mine located in the townlands of Derrynascobe, Derrynaglah, Enagh, Knocknacran (East & West) and Drummond, Co. Monaghan, permitted under Reg. Ref. 17/217 and operating subject to Industrial Emissions (IE) Licence P0519-04 and Mining Lease M139. The proposed development includes a modification to the existing (approved) restoration plan to return the existing Knocknacran Open-Cast Mine to near ground levels. (3) The continuation of use and refurbishment of the existing Knocknacran Processing Plant area, including water treatment facilities and associated infrastructure (including discharge pipeline to the River Bursk) in the townlands of Enagh, Derrynaglah, Drummond, Derrynascobe and Clontrain, Co. Monaghan. The proposed development will include a replacement vehicular access to the existing Knocknacran Open-Cast Mine and Knocknacran Processing Plant area site from the L4816.
