WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY P.V.F. LE CLAIRE OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 28th SEPTEMBER 2010
Question
"When the new Energy from Waste plant is brought into use what will be the timetable for the decommissioning of the Bellozanne Incinerator, when will the chimney be removed along with the plant, when will the old incinerator be extinguished for the last time and what materials will be burnt in it until that time and why?"
Answer
My Department currently propose that, towards the end of this year, a specification will be produced defining the works that are required to demolish and return the Bellozanne incinerator site for further productive use, including removal of the chimney.
Clearly the location of the chimney is very sensitive, in a working area used by members of the public for delivering waste and adjacent to a other vital strategic infrastructure, so the working methods would need to be closely scrutinised prior to confirming a precise timescale.
The work will then be tendered to experienced demolition companies, probably in early 2011, with a view to carrying out the work in 2012. In the meantime, a working group is coordinating the changes in service arrangements that are necessary for managing the Bellozanne site once the Bellozanne incinerator is no longer in operation.
Assuming that the La Collette Energy from Waste facility commissioning continues according to plan[r1], the Bellozanne plant should finally be shut down during the commissioning phase.
In the period up until closure, the Bellozanne plant will continue to take the same waste streams it always has done, although these will be received in increasingly smaller quantities as the La Collette Energy from Waste commissioning takes place.
