Development description
- For the restoration of part of an exhausted quarry void located within the former rock quarry at carroll’s cross in the townland(s) of greenan and ballyshanock.

Essentially virgin soil or equivalent to virgin soil and stone) which will be notified to the epa as an article 27 by-product at its source of origin and transported as a by-product material to enable the site to be restored. The site would then operate under conditions of planning. The proposed works will also involve the removal of an existing silo onsite, the relocation of a groundwater monitoring well, installation of road pipe culvert in the dawn river and amendments to the existing culvert crossing the waterford greenway (including the construction of onsite access ramps approaching the existing culvert either side of the greenway), along with ancillary works and landscaping.
