To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether capping the limestone quarry at Brofiscin has prevented non-biodegradable PCBs and other toxic materials from leaching into the underlying aquifer affecting water supplies in England.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether capping the limestone quarry at Brofiscin has prevented non-biodegradable PCBs and other toxic materials from leaching into the underlying aquifer affecting water supplies in England.
Brofiscin quarry is on an aquifer (water bearing strata/rock), which is hydrogeologically disconnected from the aquifer beneath Elan Valley reservoirs and the associated aqueduct that contribute to Birmingham public water supply. The distance that separates the two locations is significant; therefore there is no pathway for contamination to migrate from the quarry to the Elan aquifer. The Elan aquifer is the nearest aquifer to Brofiscin quarry that contributes to Birmingham’s public water supply and the Environment Agency does not consider Brofiscin quarry to present any risk to Birmingham’s water supply.
Natural Resources Wales is responsible for regulating the Brofiscin quarry site. Any risks relating to this site are a matter for the devolved Welsh Government.

Remediation of the Brofiscin Quarry site was completed last year. The Environment Agency is currently in an advanced stage of negotiation with three organisations for the recovery of costs by way of a voluntary contribution. While the organisations remain those that the Environment Agency considers to be liable for the contamination at Brofiscin, to date they cannot be formally determined as the “Appropriate Persons” in accordance with the contaminated land regime if the Environment Agency is to resolve these matters by way of negotiated agreement.
