MEASURES are being taken to ensure that the revamp at the Tesco Extra filling station on the outskirts of Cleethorpes poses no contamination risk to underground water sources.
On this assurance on safeguards for the aquifer, the Environment Agency has withdrawn its initial objection to the project which includes:
* Removal of below-ground fuel storage tanks
* Installation of two new 120,000 litre double skin steel storage tank and new petrol interceptor
* Partial demolition and alterations to existing canopy
* Installation of two jet washes and air and water facilities
* Construction of new storage area to side of existing shop
* Installation of new fuel lines, offset fills and vents
* Installation of new interceptor
* Installation of new drainage
The filling station is not due to reopen until July 27.
In the meantime, Tesco is suggesting its Brigg site as an alternative.
