SCC have announced HIGHER total extraction figures in a recently discovered document , but have stated that the amounts to be extracted during the first ten years will be 'limited by demand' or 'by permission'. If limited by permission, then the total is said to be 2,150,000t ... but if limited by demand it could be even higher than the 3,400,000t used in these calculations ... as a total of 4,790,000t is now listed.

Please compare the two pdf documents downloadable at left of home page , to try to make sense of this.

Based on the balance of probabilities between the two documents, a graphic follows this text which gives a visual reference for 130 lorries per day ( one every four minutes ) ...





but if the extraction is over 5 years , not 10 years , this may become 260 per day

ONE ROUTING EVERY TWO MINUTES.

In addition there is the potential for many , smaller, owner-driver vans to make more local collections, plus fuel tankers , slurry tankers and maintenance vehicles.
