Permit (Application) Number: PPC_A_1163789 Applicant: Marine Harvest (Scotland) Ltd 1 NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY OF DETERMINATION PPC requires that where the draft determination of an application or a SEPA initiated variation is to be subject to public consultation (this is usually referred to as PPD consultation) the decision document will contain a non technical summary of the determination. There is no need to have a non technical summary if the application is not subject to PPD Will the draft determination be subject to public consultation? Yes The Marine Harvest (Scotland) Ltd manufacturing facility at the site of the former Allt-An-Avaig Quarry at Kyleakin, Isle of Skye is designed to receive and process wet and dry bulk raw materials to produce salmon feed in dried pellet form. The facility includes a new pier and slipway which will enable most of the raw materials and final product pellet to be transported to and from the site by sea. The site’s coastal location in the north west of Scotland will enable access and transport links by ship, offsetting a proportion of road use, to existing Marine Harvest salmon farms and to overseas customers. Proposed Installation Activities The Activities carried out at the Stationary Technical Unit are the treating and processing of animal and vegetable matter being an activity falling within paragraph d(iii) of Part A of Section 6.8 of Schedule 1 of the regulations. The manufacturing process involves the production of dried pelleted salmon feed at a plant with production capacity of up to 170,000 tonnes per year. The manufacturing process is depicted on the simple schematic diagram below, and involves two separate process lines and includes a number of clearly identifiable steps such as: receipt and transfer of raw materials to storage; dosing / weighing / mixing; fine grinding and control sifting; mixing; extrusion; drying; pre-cooling and coating; and final storage and bagging. A complete process description can be found in Section 3.0 of the Supporting Document to the application. Figure 1: Simple Process Schematic Permit (Application) Number: PPC_A_1163789 Applicant: Marine Harvest (Scotland) Ltd The facility also requires a number of Directly Associated Activities to be carried out on the same site including combustion (drying of material and production of steam) generation, effluent treatment and storage of raw materials etc. The steam boiler supplies thermal energy for the extrusion and drying processes and is rated at 7.9 MW net rated thermal input. Dryers serving both Lines 1 and 2, have a combined total of 9.75 MW net rated thermal input. The facility includes a bulk fuel storage facility which will provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) to fuel the steam boiler and dryers. The solid raw materials consist of vegetable meal, wheat and grain, and fishmeal. These deliveries are received by vessel at the pier and extracted under vacuum via enclosed conveyors to the relevant bulk silos. The liquid materials are vegetable and fish oils. These are pumped from the vessel to an appropriate liquid storage silo which are located in an impermeable bunded area. Water is used in the milling and blending process with a measured quantity of the different raw materials to produce the desired blended meal that is subsequently extruded to form the feed pellets that are then dried in a hot air stream. The spent air undergoes treatment through abatement systems, being routed through either bag filters or high efficiency cyclones before undergoing odour treatment in a biological treatment unit (‘biofilter’), with the treatment configuration dependant on the source zone of the spent air. Wastewaters from the milling and blending processes are treated at an on-site treatment plant before discharge to the sea via a long sea outfall. Surface water from roofs and hard standing is collected by a separate piped system that is conveyed to two SUDs treatment areas (east and west ponds) prior to discharge to the sea. Outdoor work areas, including the piers, where there is a risk of oil spillage are drained via suitable oil-water separators. The process is capable of operating on a 24-hour, 7 days a week basis, with maintenance and cleaning operations taking place

    TITLE: DATA REQUEST ISLE OF SKYE DATE: NOVEMBER 2016 REPORT CODE: SMRUC-JAC-2016-015 Figure 15 Telemetry tracks from the 13 harbour seals tagged at Loch Bay and Loch Dunvegan within the Ascrib, Isay and Dunvegan SAC in 2004 and 2005. 5.2.1 Kyle Rhea data The telemetry data from the Kyle Rhea study shows a very high density of tracks moving through and/or foraging within the channel between Skye and mainland Scotland (Figure 16). In total, 93.4% of all the GPS positions obtained from these nine seals were inside the Study Area. Only two seals left the Study Area for a significant portion of their time. Seal pv43-394-12 recorded 75% of its GPS positions inside the Study Area; for the remaining 25% of the time it travelled south out of the narrows at Kyle Rhea and west to off the south east coast of South Uist (Figure 16). Seal pv43-350-12 recorded 50% of its GPS positions inside the Study Area; for the remaining 50% of the time it travelled north out of the Study Area directly to the Butt of Lewis (Figure 16). Of these nine tagged seals, six left the narrows at Kyle Rhea at travelled north and west round the coast of Skye past the Project Site (Figure 16). One seal (pv43-376-12) moved along the coast of Skye, directly past the jetty construction site, with GPS location positions only 90 m from the construction site (Figure 17).

  • HITRANS BROADFORD AIRPORT SKYE BACKGROUND NOTE for MEETING with CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY Introduction 1. HITRANS Is the Statutor
    HITRANS BROADFORD AIRPORT SKYE BACKGROUND NOTE FOR MEETING WITH CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY Introduction 1. HITRANS is the Statutory Transport Partnership for the Highlands and Islands established by the Transport Scotland Act 2005. One of the primary duties of the Partnership is to prepare a Regional Transport Strategy. This Strategy must include the development and improvement of transport provision, having regard to the future needs of the region to enhance social and economic well being. The Strategy was submitted to the Minister in March 2007 and awaits his determination. 2. Surface transport from Skye to Central Scotland is 7.5 hours by rail from Kyle; 6.5 hours by bus from Portree; and 5.5 hours by car from Portree. Skye is the only part of the region with significant population (12,000 residents) which has such lengthy travel times without an alternative faster air service. Therefore, in response to the need to improve journey times and enhance the economy of Skye, the Regional Transport Strategy includes the aspiration for air services from Skye to Glasgow or Edinburgh. The Proposed Delivery Plan which accompanies the Strategy identifies the development of Skye airport in the medium term 2013-2017. 3. The HITRANS air network proposals were prepared in 2002 as part of the campaign to reduce air fares on the flights serving the region. These proposals included a Skye to Edinburgh air service because the market testing had revealed potential for a twice daily rotation of a 30 seat aircraft. The proposals were presented to the CAA for information at a meeting in Gatwick in 2002.

I hear the blue-bird singing, And the starling's mellow cry, But t4eve the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye.
