From Dave Cabeldu.
SAVE Our Shoreline are currently challenging several discharge permit applications currently before Planning and Environment, from both Transport and Technical Services and the Jersey Electricity Company.

With regard to the JEC, they already have a deemed permit issued in 2000 enabling them to add a deadly biocide into their system to remove all marine life from their pipe work.
The biocide mixes with the intake water and exits via three discharge points, one in La Collette Marina, one behind Victoria Pier close to the intake point used to supply the viviers, and the largest being the culvert at Havre des Pas. The JEC have applied for a new permit to continue this practice.

Meanwhile, TTS wish to discharge 13.2 million gallons of pre-heated and biocide treated water a day straight into Havre des Pas bay via the JEC’s existing culvert.

This equates to the volume of 24 Olympic sized swimming pools a day, seven days a week. The effect of this has not been predicted. At no point during the planning process for the Energy from Waste Plant did TTS apply for any discharge consents for the plant.
SOS have prepared a detailed submission as requested by Environmental Protection and this will be sent to the operators. We are recommending that the practice of pumping biocide into the marine environment be stopped and another method found.

We also request an independent environmental impact assessment on the pumping of huge volumes of pre-heated water into Havre des Pas bay, a Ramsar area, which is already under threat from a number of sources.
