Residents oppose plans for second waste treatment plant

Clean Technology Organisation (CT0) wants to build a waste treatment plant 250 metres from Rostellan lake and to process a significant amount of waste products.

But residents are totally against the move because they claim it will destroy a unique wildlife sanctuary that is home to a rare selection of wildlife species. The residents also claim there is no information on how it plans to process a large amount of waste products. These include animal faeces and manure; sludge from the on-site effluent plant; spent activated carbon; plant tissue waste and wastes. Residents’ spokesman Robin Triggs claimed that CTO have been extremely reticent on a number of issues raised by the Aghada District Community.
