Letters Open letter on Cemfuel


MAY I, through your letters column, address this open letter to Mr Rotor del Strother, works man­ ager at Castle Cement’s Rihblesdale plant, on the subject of Cemfuel. Mr del Strother, on the evening of December 4lh,


you appeared on television stating that you were satisfieu that the results of the monitoring of Cemfuel at your plant over the past two-atul-a-half years had proved its environmental benefits. You implied that further testing scheduled for


as it was patronising. 1 believe there has been no credible monitoring supporting claims for safety since you introduced Cemfuel in 1992. The October testing, arranged very belatedly with


October was merely a concession to public concern. With the greatest respect, this was as misleading


remark which the local HM11’ site inspector, no less, look up very forcibly. Kvidence of that attitude at that time does nothing


to reassure the observer that perfect frankness was the order of the dav at Kibblesdale. Consequently, Oie Liaison Committee, the coun­

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Pollution in Lancaster, was, in mv view, the result of pressure on all parties concerned from an informed section of the public, of whom Residents Against 'Toxic Substances (RATS) form a significant part. Was it also an attempt to save HMIR’s professional face? Mr del Strother, in my view, by carrying on the


burning of Cemfuel, against the grain of environmen­ tal risk, public approval, planned local development, morality ami even logic, you seriously damage your credibility. 'The monitoring figures by which, in 1992, your


authorisation was rationalised, have, in my opinion* since been discredited. Most bizarre was the tacit admission, as I inter­


preted it. by Mr dolm Isherwood, of Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Pollution, to the Ribble Valley Coun­ cil's Knvironmental Committee, on September 20th. that your 1992 authorisation contained legal safe­ guards against interference by HMIR that would inhibit the use of Cemfuel. Surely litis prevented HMIR from carrying out its statutory duty of regula­ tion? One wonders how such an action escapes retribution. More seriously, perhaps, I believe you have been


ins t rumental in undermining the relat ionship between local government and the community. You consistently claim that the RVRC/Castle


Cement Liaison Committee was adequately informed of your intention to use Cemfuel and, l feel, you blame it. at least by implication, for not informing the public. There is little evidence to support your claim. You

is seen to be credible and effective and that council­ lors and constituents work together within the demo­ cratic process. Kven the Regional Health Authority has been


beguiled (unwittingly, one hopes) into blindly sup­ porting your claims for safety. Mr tiel Strother, the following course of action is


open to you: © voluntarily impose a moratorium on Cemfuel; ©take the necessary steps to conform to the pre­


liminary conditions of HMIR's "Requirements for operators" (the Bedford lVotocoI), published in July, 199-1, as a result of public pressure; establish the pul­ verised coal base-line with which to compare Cem­ fuel; cure the emission grounding problems; improve the operational stability of your kilns and do what­ ever else is necessary to increase the chances of safe incineration; ©then, like every other kiln operator in the UK.

It has been caused by the construction of a new
