A year-long review by the Environment Scrutiny panel has concluded that the environmental impact of the new energy-from-waste plant at La Collette was not properly investigated.
The review found that parts of the planning process ‘failed to comply with relevant standards’ and that monitoring and reporting of potential pollution risks during the construction appeared to be ‘weak’ and ‘lacking co-ordination’.
And it warned that Jersey may now have breached its obligations under the Ramsar Convention, which protects the area of sea adjacent to the incinerator.
