NEW REVISED EPA LICENCE ISSUED FOR HOLLYWOOD: W0129-02

An EPA Waste Licence (No. W0129-01) controlling the restoration and infill of the quarry was issued in December 2002. The area covered by this application was 13.56 hectares and permission was sought to provide fill to the quarry at a rate of 340,000 tonnes per year.

Since the grant of Waste Licence W0129-01 in 2002, Murphy Environmental has put in place the necessary infrastructure and systems to implement the Waste Licence and appropriately manage the facility. The Hollywood site was the first privately-operated landfill to receive accreditation to ISO14001, the international standard for Environmental Management Systems.

In July 2007, Murphy Environmental lodged an application with the EPA for a Waste Licence Review. The Application sought permission from the Agency to extend the landfill footprint of the facility, in line with the quarry footprint and to increase the rate of infill to 500,000 tonnes per annum.

The new, revised licence (reference number W0129-02) was issued by the EPA in May 2008 and is available to download here.
