Site Visit Report

The site visit process is a sample on a particular day of an installation's compliance with some of its licence conditions. Where non-compliance against a particular condition has not been reported, this should not be construed to mean that there is full compliance with that condition of the licence.

Instructions and actions arising from the visit shall be addressed, or where applicable noted, by the licensee in order to ensure compliance, to improve the environmental performance of the installation and to provide clarification on certain issues.

The licensee shall take the actions specified to close out the non-compliances and observations raised in this Site Visit Report.

Overall Aim of the Monitoring Campaign

Special Requirements

Target Parameters

Exova Catalyst Ireland were commissioned by the EPA Office of Environmental Enforcement to carry out stack emissions testing at Anglo Beef Processors (TA Munster Proteins Waterford) on the A1-AEP1 - Biofilter at Waterford.

The aim of the monitoring campaign was to demonstrate compliance with a set of emission limit values (ELVs) as specified in the Site's Licence.

There were no special requirements.

MONITORING OBJECTIVES

Executive Summary

Exova Catalyst Ireland were commissioned by the EPA Office of Environmental Enforcement to carry out stack emissions testing at

Anglo Beef Processors (TA Munster Proteins Waterford) on the Thermal Oxidiser at Waterford.

The aim of the monitoring campaign was to demonstrate compliance with a set of emission limit values (ELVs) as specified in the

Site's Permit.

There were no special requirements.

Where: P STD = sum of component concentrations, kg/m³ (not including water vapour)

P STW = sum of all wet concentrations / 100 x density, kg/m³ (including water vapour)

P Actual = P STD x (TSTP / (PSTP)) x ((Pstatic + Pb) / Ta)

FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS

You are required to complete the instructions and actions, as outlined in this report, within the specified timeframe. Where required, you shall respond to actions specified in Compliance Investigations within the required timeframe.The licensee shall maintain documentary evidence, for review by the EPA, that the prescribed corrective actions were completed within the required timeframe.

(i) Compliance Investigations

You are not required to respond directly to items contained in this EPA site visit report; where an issue requires a direct response, the EPA will generate a Compliance Investigation through the EDEN system. You will receive notification when a Compliance Investigation instruction or action is generated.

(ii) Publication of reports and licensee response.

Please note that this Site Visit Report will be made available for public viewing via the EPA’s Licence Enforcement Access Portal within one day of the issue date and will be published on the Licence Details Page of the EPA’s website, www.epa.ie, that relates to your licence 60 calendar days after the issue date.

You may if you choose submit, within 45 calendar days of the issue date of this Site Visit Report, a Licensee Public Response that will be published alongside the Site Visit Report. This Response, should you wish to avail of it, provides you with an opportunity to inform the public about how you are implementing the actions set out in the report, activities underway, timescales and target completion dates. Please be aware that the content of your Licensee Public Response must be factual and should not breach the EPAs stated online publication standards.

If you wish to submit a Licensee Public Response to an EPA Site Visit Report, you should do this by clicking on the ‘Make a Response’ link on the Site Visits page in EDEN. A .pdf document containing your response can be attached and submitted from here.

(iii) Response to Site visit report

Where you do wish to respond directly to a site visit report, you should do this by generating a ‘Licensee Return’ of the type ‘Site Updates/Notifications’ and the sub-type ‘Response to EPA Report’ in EDEN.

Please note that you are required to comply with the conditions of your licence at all times, and where noncompliance occurs you must restore compliance within the shortest possible time. These actions will be verified during subsequent EPA visits.
