Afternoon Ewan,

Please find below, prosecution costs incurred today at Reading Magistrates Court, as a result of exceeding permit allowance for liquid food waste, produced by Vertal at Mitcham and delivered via tanker to Kingsmead and Sutton Court respectively:

Carcarc guilty plea to over delivery at Sutton Court - Fine £20,000.00

Carcarc guilty plea to over delivery at Kingsmead - Fine £20,000.00

EA investigation costs £5,150.00

EA prosecutions costs £800.00

Total fine to be paid by Carcarc: £45,950 (plus additional cost for defence @ £2,900)

Ewan - the above is an accurate representation of our prosecutions today and fines to be paid. Information is for your records and I have no issue with you reporting this on your website as it's probably of public interest and may put some closure to the whole episode.

Regards,

Christian Clark (former director)

I may be mistaken but in my opinion there does appear to be a significant difference between the Vertal product ( using Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion) and the material transported into Kingsmead Quarry! (Ewan Larcombe - 8/4/2012)

Vertal claim: 'We take that waste, compost it in our state-of-the-art digestion vessels, pasteurize it, and in just 72 hours it’s being ploughed back into the soil to grow more food.'
