The Environment Agency publishes a notice under paragraph 47(2) of the General Law on the Environment (KeÜS).

The Environment Agency States that the REQUEST submitted by STARHILL (registry code: 10822453) (address Maleva tn 4, Tallinn 11711) for amendment of the HARMON-129 mining permit FOR the limestone quarry has been accepted.

Mining permits are applied for in the municipality of Jõelähtme, Harju, in the village of Maardu, 1 Tallinn-Narva TEE (cadastral Identification 24501:001:0757), 11601 Loo-Loovälja L13 (cadastral Identification 24504:003:0917) and the southern map of Maardu (cadastral Identification 24501:001:0756).

The surface Maardu of the mountain deposit of the limestone quarry applied for is 19.15 ha and the surface area of the mountain deposit is 42.56 ha. According to the application for authorisation for the extraction of mineral resources, the amount of active consumable stock of building limestone in mining is 9,2 thousand m ³, which is fully miniaturable. The purpose of the request for amendment of the mining permit IS to align the data from the HARMON-129 mining permit WITH the data from the environmental register in order to ensure that the mining allocation coincides with the reserve block on the invoice in the register. Compared to the mountain deposit of an existing Maardu of limestone quarry, the current western part of the solution and the eastern part of the solvent are excluded from the provision of the mountains applied for, since there is no longer a mineral reserve in those areas. Thus, the area of the mountain allocation is reduced by 13.6 hectares and the area of the service area of the mountain allocation is also requested to be modified so that the service area includes the area to be remedied in its entirety.

The request for amendment of the mining permit and other relevant documents can be consulted at the nearest Office of the Environment Agency (e-mail info@keskkonnaamet.ee, tel 674 4803).
The application is available digitally in the Environment Agency's document register http://dhsadr-kea.envir.ee.

Until such time as a decision is taken to amend or refuse to modify the mining permit, everyone has the right to submit reasoned proposals and objections to the application to the Environment Agency. Proposals and objections may be submitted orally or in writing to the e-mail address info@keskkonnaamet.ee or to the postal address Viljandi mnt 16, 11216 Tallinn.

The draft decision to amend or refuse to modify the mining permit shall be further notified by the Environment Agency in the Official Gazette Ametlikud Teadaanded.
