As part of the plans, Tata Steel is The existing restoration plan was approved in 2008. proposing to withdraw an existing This plan is no longer practically achievable or planning application for further extraction environmentally preferable as it would involve draining the water and infilling of the large waterbody void. and deepening of the Quarry. The updated restoration plan will ensure sensitive and progressive restoration of the Quarry. The purpose of this brochure is to provide you with an update on activities at Shapfell Quarry and There will be no deepening or lateral extension to provide details of the updated draft restoration of the Quarry as part of the proposals.

Tata Steel is providing you with an opportunity believes it is important to return the land to the over the coming weeks to provide feedback on the landowner in a suitably restored condition. updated restoration plan before planning applications are submitted to Cumbria County Council.

We thank you for taking time to read the information and for your feedback. More information about how you can get in touch is provided. Background

Limestone has been quarried from Shapfell since 1962 and through this work the Quarry has become a major employer in the local area, contributing considerably to the local economy.

As part of the proposals it is intended to continue production at the Works site so there will be no loss of employment. However, the use of the Quarry has lessened in recent years and the Works are now largely operated using limestone from other quarries.

3 Shapfell Quarry today Shapfell history 1962: Quarrying began at Shapfell

1996: Original restoration plan approved Over time, two sites have operated at Shapfell; the Quarry which is located to the 2008: An application was submitted east of the M6, and the Works site located to the west of the M6. The site location to extend the quarry plan below illustrates the relationship between the Quarry and the Works site. The entire site comprises approximately 120 hectares (297 acres) of land. 2009: Active drilling and shot blasting ceased at the Quarry (although a limited These sites have been linked since the opening of the quarry, with quarried stone amount of already quarried stone has been being transported from the Quarry to the Works site. There, stone is crushed, processed for the ongoing restoration) washed and burnt; ready to be used in the steelmaking process. This product has been a part of the wider UK steel industry for more than 55 years. 2014: Additional information submitted to Cumbria Council Since 2009, Tata Steel has primarily imported limestone from other sources including the nearby Shap Beck Quarry and from Derbyshire. This has enabled 2018: The current application will be the Works site to continue production. As part of the washing process, withdrawn and new applications submitted a mixture of clay and small limestone particles are generated. This provides for restoration an entirely natural calcareous limestone material ideally suited to the restoration of Shapfell Quarry.

Options have been explored for continuing to quarry limestone from Shapfell, but the decision has been taken not to pursue this deepening or lateral extension of the Quarry. Instead to continue with the full restoration of the site and to return the land to the landowner in a suitably restored condition.

Shapfell Quarry 4 Public Consultation: Revised Restoration Plans A new The revised restoration restoration plan plan will: • Take approximately 18 years to complete and be implemented in phases to respect existing wildlife habitats In 2008, the current restoration scheme was approved for the Quarry site. This restoration plan required the whole quarry void to be refilled. • Restore the site levels to those of the surrounding area to the south, Approximately 37ha (91.5 acres) of the quarry has already been restored reconnecting the quarry to the in accordance with the approved scheme. However, other parts of the site, surrounding landscape (including including the main quarry void, are yet to be fully restored. the SSSI to the south)

Why is a new restoration plan needed? • Retain the large waterbody to the east of the site which has become an important Since the existing restoration plan was approved, the conditions of the site and local habitat for some species its landform have changed. In particular, the main quarry void has formed a large waterbody covering an area of approximately 30 hectares. This area of the site has • Install a new footpath to encourage become a habitat for wildlife. Water levels have also been monitored over the years recreational enjoyment of the area and the water level has stabilised meaning that the waterbody is now an important (subject to the landowner’s permission, feature of the landscape. and subject to agricultural requirements)

The new restoration plan has been prepared taking into account these changed • Include planting of mixed native conditions of the site. The updated restoration plan has been designed to retain woodland species. and protect the waterbody, as well as to maximise the amount of land reserved for nature conservation.

The plan is to withdraw the existing undetermined planning application to extend the use of the quarry and submit two Section 73 applications. The Section 73 applications are required to amend conditions attached to the existing planning permissions. The applications will seek agreement for a revised restoration plan and an extension to the timescale for completing the restoration. This new agreement will facilitate the phased restoration of the Quarry set out in this brochure.

Shapfell Quarry 8 Public Consultation: Revised Restoration Plans Technical details

The draft restoration plan has been informed by a number of technical studies, as well as the existing conditions and parameters of the site.

Some of these are summarised below.

Environmental designations Part of the south-eastern corner is located within the Crosby Ravensworth Fell Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI). The draft restoration plan has been designed to improve the quality of habitat within and adjacent to the SSSI.

Transport and highways Following the very limited activity at the Quarry post-2009, Tata Steel has continued to develop the use of rail where possible for both imported and outgoing products. The vast majority of Tata Steel’s product is transported by rail. All operations are expected to continue as normal. Neighbours to the Quarry site are very important, so Tata Steel will continue to actively monitor and work with the local authorities to ensure this activity is kept at a safe level.

Landscape and visual impact A Landscape Management Plan will be implemented to ensure that the landscape is restored effectively. Technical and survey work that has already been undertaken indicates that the restoration will improve the quality of the existing habitat within the Quarry boundaries, as well as some of the areas adjacent to it.

As the restoration will be phased, the changes to the landscape and the visual impact these will have will be incremental. As the site is not located close to a residential area, the visual impact will be primarily limited to the Public Right of Way (PRoW) network located within the local area. The quarry will be most visible from relatively short duration views from the PRoW in the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the east of the site.

It is our expert’s view that the revised restoration scheme will ultimately have a beneficial landscape and visual impact on the area.

Air quality / noise An air quality management plan focussing on dust control will be developed in liaison with the County Council, and this will include the appropriate mitigation measures.

In the long term, restoring the quarry to a more natural environment will have beneficial effects on dust levels in the local area.

As the site is located in a rural area with just a few residential properties nearby, any noise impacts will be kept to a minimum level for these properties. A Noise and Vibration Management Plan (NVMP) will be developed as advised by the County Council to ensure that the appropriate mitigation takes place.

9 Tata Steel in the community

Tata Steel is a major employer in the local area, employing around 50 local staff at Shapfell. It contributes to the regional economy in business rates each year and over the years have donated approximately £15,000 to local schools and community projects.

The Tata Steel Shapfell team has been actively engaged with the local communities in and around Shap and the local villages for a number of years, providing donations and support to local worthy and charitable causes, and undertaking volunteer work.

Some examples include:

• Donating stone and several weeks of volunteer support to help create a local memorial garden in Shap village

• Supporting local schools – including donating prizes and money to support IT developments at Shap C of E Primary School, a dragon competition used to acknowledge our links to South Wales steelmaking, a donation to help Orton C of E Primary School install a sound system, and a donation towards a cycle shelter to help encourage cycling to school

• The installation (with Hanson) of an electronic speed sign in the village

• Providing stone and labour on a project to build a cairn linking Scotland and England

• Providing stone to build defences against local river bank flood erosion

• A donation towards a sensory room at James Rennie School in Carlisle

• Other volunteer work - including helping with young enterprise initiatives at local schools and helping at triathlons.
