  • Introduction

    INTRODUCTION

    This Form is for the purposes of a review of an IPPC/Waste Licence in order to ensure that all authorisations under the EPA Act 1992 to 2007 and the Waste Management Acts 1996 to 2010 having discharges liable to cause water pollution are in compliance with the EC Environmental Objectives (Surface Waters) Regulations 2009. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the material contained in the Review Form, the EPA assumes no responsibility and gives no guarantees, undertakings and warranties concerning the accuracy, completeness or up-to-date nature of the information provided herein and does not accept any liability whatsoever arising from any errors or omissions. The Review Form and all supporting information shall be submitted to the Headquarters of the Agency in a format of a signed original, one hardcopy and two copies on CD-Rom. In cases where an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required in support of the Review Form, a signed original, one hardcopy plus 16 copies (or 18 copies if the activity is within Energy sector) on CD-Rom shall be submitted. All pages, including maps/drawings/plans, shall be no larger than A3 size. All files on CD-Rom shall be submitted in searchable PDF format and be no larger than 10MB each in size. All CD-Roms shall be labelled with the Licensees name, Licence Register Number, address of the activity and name of the file (i.e. Review Form).

    SECTION E: STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

    E.1 Best Environmental Practices Compliance with Legislation

    Demonstrate if the best environmental practices are in place for control of diffuse emissions from the installation/facility as set out in the following legislation:

    (a) a specification prepared by the Agency in accordance with Section 5 of the

    Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992 as amended by Section 7 of the Protection of the Environment Act 2003;

    Cabery have applied BAT and have implemented an Environmental Management System at its facility at Ballineen, please refer to section D.2 above for further details. (b) the Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations 2001 (S.I. No. 254 of 2001)

    as amended by the Urban Waste Water Treatment (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (S.I. No. 440 of 2004) or any future amendment thereof;

    Wastewater from Carbery is not sent to urban wastewater treatment plants and therefore the requirement for pretreatment is not applicable.

    Nevertheless, Carbery ensures that its own wastewater treatment process are managed in such a manner so that: the health of WWTP staff working is protected; WWTP and associated equipped is maintained and provides for the effective operation of the plant and treatment of sludge; discharges comply with its IPPC licence and WWTP sludge is recovered to land in an environmental beneficial manner.

    Note: The River Bandon is not designated Sensitive Areas under the Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulations 2001 (S.I. 254 of 2001). (c) the European Communities (Good Agricultural Practice for Protection of

    Waters) Regulations 2009 (S.I. No. 101 of 2009) or any future amendment thereof;

    Carbery comply with the S.I. No. 610 of 2010 (which superseded SI 101/2009) through the operation of a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) for the land spreading of sludge arising from its WWTP. The plan is updated annually and submitted to the EPA for approval under its IPPC licence. This plan specifies the land on which the sludge is to be spread; the rates of application (based on an assessment of soil nutrient requirement (based on soil testing & information on planned crop) and analysis of the sludge; buffer zones and exclusion periods to be observed during the land application of the sludge. (d) the Local Government (Water Pollution) Act, 1977 (Control of Cadmium

    Discharges) Regulations 1985 (S.I. No. 294 of 1985); Cadmium not produced, handled or used onsite and consequently will not arise in wastewater SI 294/1985 is therefore considered not relevant to the activities. (e) the Local Government (Water Pollution) Act, 1977 (Control of

    Hexachlorocyclohexane and Mercury Discharges) Regulations 1986 (S.I. No. 55 of 1986);

    Hexachlorocyclohexane and Mercury are not produced, handled or used onsite and consequently will not arise in wastewater SI 55/1986 is therefore considered not relevant to the activities. (f) the Local Government (Water Pollution) Acts, 1977 and 1990 (Control of

    Carbon Tetrachloride, DDT and Pentachlorophenol Discharges) Regulations 1994 (S.I. No. 43 of 1994); and,

    Carbon Tetrachloride, DDT and Pentachlorophenol are not produced, handled or used onsite and consequently will not arise in wastewater SI 43/1994 is therefore considered not relevant to the activities. (g) measures or controls identified in a pollution reduction plan for the river

    basin district prepared in accordance with Part V of the EC Environmental Objectives (Surface Waters) Regulations 2009 S.I. No. 272 of 2009 for the reduction of pollution by priority substances or the ceasing or phasing out of emissions, discharges and losses of priority hazardous substances.

    Efficient and effective management of WWTP to ensure that current emission limit values are not exceeded.

    SECTION F: APPROVED ADJUSTMENTS & CONDITIONS

    Where the Office of Environmental Enforcement (OEE) of the Agency has agreed any variations or adjustments to the conditions of the existing licence, the licensee must supply a schedule detailing these agreed variations and adjustments to the existing licence conditions. An updated, scaled drawing of the site layout (no larger than A3) providing visual information on such adjustments or variations where appropriate should be included. In the case of once-off assessments/ reports required under conditions of the existing licence the licensee must supply a schedule detailing those assessments/ reports that have been completed and agreed with the Office of Environmental Enforcement (OEE) or as otherwise agreed. Attachment No F1 shall include the schedule of variations and/or adjustments together with the updated drawing.
