RPS has been working with Fingal County Council on the proposed facility since 1998 on planning, site selection, preliminary design, environmental impact statement, waste licence application, planning application and procurement of the project.

RPS has engaged with stakeholders and the local community throughout all stages of the controversial project and with Fingal County Council, have brought the proposed facility through five oral hearings.

The EPA has stated that it is satisfied the facility, with capacity for 500,000 tonnes of waste annually, will not adversely affect human health or the environment. Their decision means that all statutory approvals are now in place for the development. The decision also marks the approval of the final element of the integrated waste management strategy for the Dublin Region, which was prepared by RPS on behalf of the four Dublin Local Authorities some ten years ago.
