Location

Longhoughton Quarry is located 1km west of the village of Longhoughton and approximately 3.5km to the north-east of Alnwick. The site is accessed from the C80 road between Denwick and Longhoughton.

Method of Working

Hard rock can be extracted in the western area of the site. Planning permission has been granted for 3 phases in this area (A-C). Phase A comprises the current void area, phase B an extension to the south and phase C a deepening of previously worked area east of phase A. The whinstone is extracted by drilling and blasting the mineral on the working face to reduce the material into a manageable product size before processing. The material is processed on site using mobile crushers and screens which are located on the quarry floor. Waste processing is carried out in the centre of the Quarry site. Up to 30,000 tonnes of waste per year is brought on to site from the operator’s contracts throughout the County and in the site. The material is sorted then fed in to a mobile crusher and then screened to create soils and secondary aggregate. The important of waste and the site shall be restored in accordance with the approved restoration scheme no later than 30

th September 2017.

Restoration

Following the completion of extraction, all the plant and ancillary equipment will be removed from the site. It is intended that the site will be restored to agricultural use and will involve the creation of an area for nature conservation (Whin and Calcareous Grassland), with some of the quarry faces left in place. The restoration for the site, including phases A, B, C and the IDO area shall be placed into long term aftercare for the life of the IDO permission (until 2042). The detailed restoration proposals for the site have yet to be submitted to the Mineral Planning Authority for approval.

Site Report

The site inspection was carried out in order to check the progress of site operations and also to discuss the actions that were set out in the previous monitoring report.

Site Operations

Since the previous inspection one blast had taken place (July 2013). The MPA were informed of the blast before it took place and results of the monitoring were sent after the blast. This blast was within the limits set out in the relevant planning conditions. The operator advised that approximately 16,000 tonnes of material was blasted. This is significantly less than the previous blast (approx. 40,000 tonnes), which led to excessive ground vibration readings. The operator is reminded that they should inform the MPA of the date and time of any proposed blasts on the site.

No wagons were observed leaving the site however, the operator is reminded that all wagons leaving the site must be sheeted. The site access and adjacent highway was generally tidy and signage was displayed at the site entrance. The operator had vehicle logs on site; it is important that these logs are kept up to date and on site. The operator is reminded about the conditions on the planning permission relating to the number of vehicular movements, vehicle routing and the timing of vehicular movements. The stone wall along the southern boundary of the site was generally in a sound condition.

Any changes or problems in the area (Y/N) N

The process plant was not in operation and the MPA has no comments to make on this aspect of the site operations.


Construction and demolition recycling facility

This part of the operation is located towards the centre of the site. The planning permission allows for no more than 30,000 tonnes of waste to be brought on to the site in any one calendar year.

It was noted that additional waste materials had been imported since the previous site inspection. It was noted that this material was generally clean with limited foreign material. The operator is reminded that condition 10 (Application Ref: 11/00164/CCM) states that all soil material shall be removed from site and no soil or soil making material should be stored on site for use in restoration.
