WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARY
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 28th APRIL 2009
Question
"Can the Minister give full itemised details of the cost to the States of transferring 133,000 tons of contaminated landfill from the Castle Quays site to La Collette 2 (whether by payments to Dandara to cover costs incurred by them, or by payments to contractors, or by the application of concessionary rates (reduced or zero) for taking this material at La Collette or in any other way) and advise where this cost is to be found within the Transport and Technical Services Department's budget?"
Answer
The Transport and Technical Services Department did not incur costs for transferring the excavated material from the Castle Quay site. As previously stated, to date, 133,132 tonnes of material has been received from the Castle Quay development.
However, the Department incurred costs for receiving this material and these are detailed below:
107,000 tonnes was received free of charge under the Le Pas Holdings agreement, this equates to a 'lost income' of £1,177,000 based at £11.00 per tonne.
26,132 tonnes were charged for with gate fees that amounted to an income of £330,039
Within these tonnage figures was a component of incinerator ash (10,990 tonnes) which was separated and disposed of within a newly constructed ash pit at La Collette. The cost of receiving and encapsulating the 10,990 tonnes of ash from Castle Quays was calculated at £16.72 per tonne equating to a cost of £183,752
The revenue costs of handling waste on the La Collette site have been calculated based on the La Collette budget divided by the total tonnages received in 2008. This equates to a cost of £4.21 per tonne. Therefore the cost for receiving the remaining 107,000 tonnes of inert waste is £450,470.
In conclusion the cost of receiving 133,132 tonnes of Castle Quay's waste is calculated as being in the region of £634,222
Departmental Budget.
These costs are to be found within the La Collette Reclamation Site budget (QBSW01).
