Kellysgrove Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan 2021
Bord na Mońa Kellysgrove Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan 2021 Kellysgrove Bog Cutaway Bog Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan 2021 1 Bord na Mońa Kellysgrove Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan 2021 This document seeks to address the requirements of Condition 10.2 of IPC License Ref. P0502-01: “The licensee shall prepare, to the satisfaction of the Agency, a fully detailed and costed plan for permanent rehabilitation of the cutaway boglands within the licensed area.” This licence condition requires Bord na Móna agree with the EPA the measures that will provide for rehabilitation, i.e. stabilisation of Kellysgrove Bog upon cessation of peat production and compliments the licence requirement to decommission the site. Rehabilitation generally comprises site stabilisation with natural colonisation with or without targeted management. Industrial peat production has now fully ceased at Kellysgrove Bog. Bord na Móna have now announced the complete cessation of industrial peat production. In addition, to preparing this document to comply with Condition 10 of IPC Licence Ref. P0502-01, due regard was also given to the proposed Peatlands Climate Action Scheme (PCAS) announced by the Minster. This Scheme will see the Minister support, via the Climate Action Fund, Bord na Móna in developing a package of measures, ‘the proposed Scheme’, for enhanced decommissioning, rehabilitation and restoration of cutaway peatlands referred to as, the Peatlands Climate Action Scheme’. However, only the additional costs associated with the additional and enhanced rehabilitation, i.e., measures which go beyond the existing standard mandatory decommissioning and rehabilitation requirements arising from Condition 10 will be eligible for support. The additional costs of the proposed Scheme will be supported by Government through the Climate Action Fund, administered by the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), while the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will act as the Scheme regulator.
