The Proposal
Treloar Transport Co. is proposing to increase the land area of an existing inert waste depot located at Forthside.

The application was referred to the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) for assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).
