DIGESTER news: At the recent meeting of the anaerobic digester liaison panel, the operators, Tamar, confirmed that the Environment Agency has requested that the site should include a lagoon area to protect against any possibility of digestate running off. This is subject to retrospective approval from Hampshire County Council.
