Paragraph 25 Use of compost material and gas from Work No. 1BI1

Prior to the date of final commissioning, the undertaker must submit to the relevant planning authority for its approval a report (“the Anaerobic Digestion review”) on the potential use of the compost material and gas produced from Work No. 1B.

The Anaerobic Digestion review must—

The undertaker must carry out any identified technically and commercially viable actions within the timescales specified in the approved Anaerobic Digestion review.

Subject to sub–paragraphs (6) and (7), on each date during the operational period of Work No. 1B that is two years after the date on which it last submitted the Anaerobic Digestion review or a revised Anaerobic Digestion review to the relevant planning authority, the undertaker must submit to the relevant planning authority for its approval a revised Anaerobic Digestion review.

Subject to sub-paragraphs (6) and (7), sub–paragraphs (2) and (3) apply in relation to a revised Anaerobic Digestion review submitted under sub-paragraph (4) in the same way as they apply in relation to the Anaerobic Digestion review submitted under sub-paragraph (1).

The undertaker is only required to consider the technically and commercially viable opportunities that reasonably exist for the export of the gas produced from Work No. 1B to the gas grid network in the first Anaerobic Digestion review submitted on the date that is 12 months after the date of final commissioning of Work No. 1B.

In the event that the export of compost material produced from Work No. 1B is provided pursuant to any Anaerobic Digestion review or any revised Anaerobic Digestion review, the undertaker is only required to carry out and submit any further Anaerobic Digestion reviews every three years.

Compost material produced from Work No. 1B must be used for compost where it meets the necessary quality standards and where a technically and commercially viable market exists.

Gas produced from Work No. 1B must be used for electricity generation, heating or as a vehicle fuel (save in the case of emergency) where it meets the necessary quality standards and where a technically and commercially viable market exists.
