We would use a series of well established, industry best practice techniques, which are used extensively across the country to reduce potential impacts during all stages of quarry development and subsequent restoration. Potential sources of noise and dust could include: • sand processing • site vehicles handling sand • reversing bleepers • central sand transport conveyor • customer HGVs These potential issues can all be addressed by effective site design and management, as potential impacts are well understood. At Purple Haze, best practice management would include: • use of electric sand processing plant and conveyors • operating below ground level within the excavation • designing one way vehicle systems to eliminate the need for reversing bleepers and warning alarms • monitoring all moving equipment like the conveyor belt, processing plant and site vehicles • use speed limits on internal roads • use an onsite mobile water tank to spray internal roads and sand storage area • using an on-site road sweeper • the sand is naturally damp when it is extracted and after screening and washing it remains damp when stored prior to sale • locating operations such as the processing plant away from access tracks The operation would be subject to regular monitoring by Grundon – Hampshire County Council will independently inspect the site usually every three months.
