The proposal is to use soil fromconstruction sites to re-profile the land and return it to a fit state for agriculture with the intention of producing biofuel for a local biomass plant. The re-profiling will aidmachinery access and discourage deep percolation of water and reduce through drainage into the mining spoil. Reedbeds will be installed to treat any outfall water.
