Illicit dump 'poses cancer threat' to 750,000 people


AN underground water source feeding a reservoir supplying drinking water to 750,000 people in greater Dublin is contaminated with illegal waste dumped on Roadstone's lands, it was confirmed yesterday.

Cancer-causing pollutants have been found in the groundwater, Wicklow Co Council said.

At a press conference yesterday, Environment Minister Dick Roche was urged to intervene in council planning decisions following a serious threat to the water supplies in Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. Dublin City Council has slammed a Wicklow Co Council decision to grant permission for Roadstone to expand its sand and gravel quarry at Deerpark, Blessington. It warned the development posed a serious risk to water quality at Poulaphouca Reservoir, which supplies over half the population in greater Dublin.

In a letter read out at a press conference in Blessington yesterday, Wicklow Co Council said tests demonstrated "significant contamination of the aquifer has already taken place". Pollutants included heavy metals, lead, barium, iron and inorganic chemicals "all indicative of landfill leachate". They included PAHs, "rated as carcinogens". A Wicklow Co Council spokesman conceded groundwater was contaminated but said there was no need to "unnecessarily scare people". There was "as yet no evidence of contamination of drinking water", he told the Irish Independent.

The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a draft decision refusing Roadstone permission for a licence to create a landfill on its property to deal with illegal waste dumped at its quarry, because of the likely impact on water supplies.

Roadstone said yesterday it would remove all the waste to a licensed faility elsewhere if directed to do so by the EPA.

The minister was also called on to appoint an investigator into illegal dumping during the press conference. Green Party chairman John Gormley said there had been a "collapse in confidence" in the council after it granted planning permission to Roadstone for a 12.58 hectare quarry at Deerpark, Blessington.

An Taisce chairman Frank Corcoran said the recent council decision to require Roadstone to develop a landfill on its lands at Blessington above a regionally important aquifer was "inexplicable".

Independent councillor Tommy Cullen said the matter was a catastrophe "waiting to happen".

You're getting him mixed up with Kurt Cobain.
