Quinn Cement Works (IEL No. P0378-02) is located at Scotchtown, Ballyconnell, Co. Cavan. Scotchtown Cement

Works produces Portland Cement, which is a composite of synthetic minerals exhibiting hydraulic properties on

mixing with water. The main raw materials are limestone (rich in calcium) and shale (rich in silica). These are

extracted from quarries both close to and remote from the cement works. The raw materials used in the

manufacture of cement are processed by crushing, blending and milling to produce a homogenous “raw meal”,

which passes through a high temperature kiln, where a thermal process produces a synthetic mineral “clinker”.

The clinker and additives are milled into a fine powder - “cement”.There are three main stages in the cement

manufacturing process as follows:Raw Material Processing, Clinker Production and Cement Manufacture.

10.2, 11.3 (a)

In 2017 there was a increase in overall production in comparison to 2016. 6 No. environmental incidents were

reported during the period of 2017, 1 in relation to a trigger level breach on emissions from the main stack A2-

01, 3 in relation to fugetive releases, 1 in relation to a trip out of the ESP (Electrostatic precipitator) at emission

point A2-01 and 1 in relation to an ELV exceedance from the main stack A2-01 . Quinn Cement Ltd transitioned

to the ISO14001:2015 Standard in October 2017 for it's Environmental Management System

Do you extract groundwater for use on site? If yes please specify use in comment section

Has any type of risk assesment been carried out for the site?

Has a Conceptual Site Model been developed for the site?

N/A

Is the contamination related to operations at the facility (either current and/or historic)

Have potential receptors been identified on and off site?

Is there a licence condition to carry out/update ELRA for the site?

Is there evidence that contamination is migrating offsite?

The iron at BH-02 had two elevated recorded results. BH-03 pH was

below the 6.5 threshold on both occasions - these results are consistent

with the Hydrogeological Assessment Report. The Nickel at BH-04 had

one elevated recorded result. BH-04 pH was marginally below the 6.5

threshold on both occasions. Potassium had elevated recorded results

when compared to the IGV - this is consistent with the Hydrogeological

Assessment Report. Potassium is not included in the Groundwater

Ammendment Regulations 2016 S.I. No. 366 of 2016 or the Drinking

Water Regulation 2014. Quinn Cement will continue to monitor the

parameters below on a biannual basis. This will allow for further trends

to be developed to assess impact of the Cement plant on groundwater.

The soil results from 2015 indicate there is no intrinsic contamination.

Quinn Cement will carry out soil analysis every 5 years.

Please provide an interpretation of groundwater monitoring data in the

interpretation box below or if you require additional space please

include a groundwater/contaminated land monitoring results

interpretaion as an additional section in this AER

Please specify the proposed time frame for the remediation strategy

Monitoring being completed as agreed “Hydrogeological Assessment

Report” (ref: 50453) prepared by Verdé Environmental Consultants Ltd

in January 2015 and Agency correspondence 29/04/2015.

The SW EQS Groundwater threshold value below is taken from the

Groundwater Regulations 2016 (S.I. No. 366 of 2016). Where threshold

values are not available in the Groundwater Regulations 2016 (S.I. No.

366 of 2016) results are compared to the Groundwater Interim Guideline

Values.

The following exceedances on GTVs highlighted in tables 1 and 2 below

were noted.

BH-02 Max Iron 804 ug/l; Average Iron 802 ug/l

BH-03 Max pH 5.6; Average pH 5.58

BH-04 Max Nickel 43 ug/l; Average Nickel 23 ug/l

BH-04 Max pH 6.47; Average pH 6.465

BH-05 Max Potassium 24 ug/l; Average 23.8 ug/l

Are you required to carry out groundwater monitoring as part of your licence requirements?

Are you required to carry out soil monitoring as part of your licence requirements?

Have actions been taken to address contamination issues?If yes please summarise remediation strategies

proposed/undertaken for the site

Do monitoring results show that groundwater generic assessment criteria such as GTVs

or IGVs are exceeded or is there an upward trend in results for a substance? If yes,

please complete the Groundwater Monitoring Guideline Template Report (link in cell

G8) and submit separately through ALDER as a licensee return AND answer questions 5-

Any additional comments? (less than 200 words)

Was noise monitoring a licence requirement for the AER period?

If yes please fill in table N1 noise summary below

Was noise monitoring carried out using the EPA Guidance note, including completion of the

"Checklist for noise measurement report" included in the guidance note as table 6?

Does your site have a noise reduction plan

When was the noise reduction plan last updated?

It is important to note in terms of plant noise that the report concluded that the night time limit of 45 dBA was within the night-limit at all NSL’s.
