Welsh Potosi / Esgair Fraith Metal Mine Project – Drainage, temporary scour protection, and flow monitoring structure installation works

Overview

Announcement of intention not to prepare an environmental statement

Regulation 12B of the Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement Works) SI1999/1783 as amended

Natural Resources Wales gives notice that it proposes to carry out drainage, temporary scour protection, and flow monitoring structure installation works as part of the Welsh Potosi / Esgair Fraith Metal Mine project, located in Ceulanamaesmawr in Ceredigion (approximate National Grid Reference for the centre of the site - SN 7380 9135).

Natural Resources Wales considers that these improvement works are not likely to have significant effects on the environment and does not intend to prepare an Environmental Statement in respect of them. Although an Environmental Statement is not proposed, the scheme design has considered environmental factors associated with the site and an Environmental Action Plan (EAP) has been prepared for use during the project. Appropriate consents are also being sought for work within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The EAP and scheme design information can be obtained from the contact below.
