This variation is to increase the maximum volume of effluent discharged to ground (via existing mineshaft) from 150m3 to 480m3 per day at The Creamery in Scorrier, Cornwall. This discharge firsts flows underground for just over 3km through the Great County Adit before discharging to the Carnon river. Associated with this increase in discharge volume the operator is also proposing to upgrade the effluent treatment plant from a system capable of handling 8m3/hr to one capable of handling 20m3/hr and add a 150m3 balance tank to accommodate this.
