The following documentation is being made available as directed by the Department of Agriculture Food and Marine to further assist in the public’s assessment of the Environmental Impact Statement:
- BIM Public Notice Aquaculture and Foreshore Licence Application (pdf 623Kb)
- BIM Aquaculture and Foreshore Licence Application Form (pdf 476Kb)
- Drawings of the proposed structures (pdf 226Kb)
- BIM Site Map of Deep Sea Fish Farm Development Galway Bay (pdf 135Kb)
By way of clarification, please note that at the request of the company mentioned at point 3.4.3.5 on page 97 of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), BIM removed the second paragraph at point 3.4.3.5 on the 7th of May 2013. In the interests of transparency and to ensure consistency between the EIS submitted to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the EIS available on our website, please note that we have today re-instated the second paragraph at point 3.4.3.5 of the EIS. In doing so, however, we would like to confirm that BIM has not sought endorsement from, nor has any endorsement been given by, the company or any of the organisations mentioned therein in respect of the Deep Sea Project. Point 3.4.3.5 simply describes salmon processing capability in the West of Ireland. For the avoidance of doubt, please note that the EIS currently being considered by the Minister for Agriculture is in identical terms to the EIS which was subject to an eight week period of public consultation which ended in mid-December 2012.
