INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL
Notice is hereby given that Lafarge Cement UK, Hope Works, has applied to the Environment
Agency for a variation to the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) permit
to operate an installation involving the manufacture of cement. The installation is
located in Hope, Hope Valley, Derbyshire. The Company’s application involves proposals
to trial the use of a substitute fuel comprising of Recovered Fuel Oil in place of
up to 50% of the conventional fuel presently in use, namely coal and petcoke. Recovered
Fuel Oil (RFO) is a fuel manufactured to an agreed specification from waste oils from
a number of industries and is described more fully in the application. Use of this
fuel on a permanent basis will be permitted only subject to a commissioning trial
being successfully completed to the satisfaction of the Environment Agency. Information
relating to the above IPPC application for a variation to the permit to operate the
Lafarge Cement UK, Hope Works, is held in registers at the following locations:

addresses during normal office hours. In addition, members of the public who wish
to obtain a copy of the relevant information contained in the registers can do so
upon the payment of a reasonable charge to cover the costs of copying. Any objections
or representations to the above IPPC application should be made in writing to the
Environment Agency at the following address, within 28 days from the date of this
public notice.
Jackie Willems, Environment Agency, Trentside Offices, Scarrington Road, West Bridgford,

Although the law requires only 28 days to be allowed for representations to be made
the Environment Agency will endeavour to consider material representations received
beyond the 28 days period until such time as the Environment Agency makes its decision.
Any such objections or representations will be entered into a public register unless
the person making them requests in writing that they should not so be placed. If there
is such a request, the register will only include a statement that there has been
a request.
