at Stowey Quarry, a former limestone quarry near Chew Valley reservoir<\/h2>\n<p>The offence happened within the first nine months of 2016, sparking an intensive investigation by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/environment-agency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Environment Agency<\/a> into the management of the site.<\/p>\n<p>The illegal operation, which accepted waste from around England, was described at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justice.gov.uk\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bristol Crown Court<\/a> as one of the most serious risks of harm in the country during the past 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Mark was also jailed for a further 18 weeks, to be served concurrently, for supplying false information to the Environment Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Mark\u2019s firm, M E Foley (Contractors) Ltd, which ran the site under an environmental permit, failed to provide the court with any company accounts and was fined \u00a372,000.<\/p>\n<p>Stowey Quarry was only permitted to accept \u2018clean\u2019 and \u2018non-hazardous\u2019 material including soil and construction waste for recovery purposes \u2013 to build bunds and embankments in the quarry.<\/p>\n<p>Despite repeated warnings, the illegal tipping and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/builders-waste-disposal\/91073\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">waste disposal continued<\/a> and in October 2016 the Environment Agency served M E Foley (Contractors) Ltd with a Suspension Notice that cancelled its permit with immediate effect and stopped the site from operating.<\/p>\n<p>The Environment Agency launched an investigation to establish the potential risk to human health and the environment from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/illegal-waste-sites-uncovered\/57689\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">illegal waste activities<\/a> at the

waste arriving at Stowey Quarry was misleadingly described as a \u2018soil substitute\u2019 in a deliberate attempt to circumvent the rules.<\/p>\n<p>The storage and disposal of hazardous material contravened the site\u2019s permit that only allowed clean\/inert waste.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was the site dishonestly accepting the wrong type of waste, but the operator was also lying about the amount being received.<\/p>\n<p>After checking waste transfer notes provided by the waste producers and hauliers, it is estimated that in 2016 alone, almost 95,000 tonnes of waste was deposited at Stowey Quarry \u2013 double the 44,950 tonnes declared by M E Foley (Contractors) Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation also questioned the true amount of waste received by the site since its operation began in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The amount deposited at the site by 2016 was closer to 200,000 tonnes \u2013 well above the 65,000 tonnes Mark was permitted to store for the purpose of restoring perimeter bunds and embankments using clear, inert waste.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Kirk of the Environment Agency said: \u201cIt has taken 3 years of meticulous work for our investigation into Stowey Quarry to reach this stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was environmental offending of the highest order<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleased the judge acknowledged the seriousness of the offences committed and this is reflected in the sentences being handed down to those who orchestrate and take advantage of such criminal practice and show a blatant disregard to the environment and public health.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
