EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Verdé Environmental Consultants, (Verdé) was commissioned by Irish Industrial Explosives Ltd. (IIE) to complete the Annual Environmental Report (AER) for the period of 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2014. IIE operate an explosives manufacturing site in Clonagh, Enfield, Co. Kildare which is licenced under the IPPC regime, licence number P0055-01.

The site was notified by the EPA’s inspector on 23rd

August 20013 that the Agency considers that the site’s licence has lapsed and that the Agency will no longer be enforcing any part of the licence with the exception of the Residuals Management Plan

1. Clarification was sought by IIE in January 2014 and the Agency confirmed

that regular monitoring and reporting is to be completed while detailed assessments are being carried out.

Extensive site investigation works were carried out in Q2, Q3 and Q4 2014. A Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (DQRA) is currently being drawn up for the site should be completed at the end of Q1 2015. In addition, site remedial works are planned for April - May 2015. Finally, a Residuals Management is to be drawn up following the completion of the remedial works. As before, the work is being carried out under the on-going Compliance Investigation (CI000481).

IIE is a manufacturer and supplier of explosive products and accessories to the Irish quarry, mining and civil engineering industries. The manufacturing site consists of a number of segregated storage and production units. The majority of the production and storage areas are surrounded by constructed embankments. Additional activities on the site include administration, vehicle maintenance and wash-down, and controlled burning of packaging wastes associated with the explosives. Normal working hours at the facility are between 08:00 – 16:30 Monday to Thursday, 08:00 – 16:00 Friday. Twenty-four hour security is maintained at the site by the Gardaí and Irish Army.

In accordance with the Environment, Health and Safety policy for IIE, an Environmental Management System (EMS) is maintained. The EMS ensures that the company achieves best practice in the area of environmental management and compliance. The EMS incorporates procedures of operational activities on site, training and awareness, reporting and an Environmental Management Programme. Through the on-going achievement and reviewing of the objectives and targets, IIE aim to achieve environmental improvements.

The following environmental works were carried out during the reporting period:

A trial pit survey was carried out to delineate the historical waste area to the rear of the ammonium nitrate pad.

Eight additional monitoring wells were installed on-site in Q3 2014 to further describe the site hydrogeology and to investigate potential contaminant pathways on-site

A contaminated land site investigation was carried out in Q4 2014 to delineate a secondary pollutant hotspot identified during the drilling works in Q3.

A brief summary of the compliance of the site throughout 2014 is presented below:

The results of the surface water monitoring show low levels of contaminants (DNT & hydrocarbons) in the downstream monitoring points SW4 and SW5 in early 2014. In Quarter 4, SW4 DNT isomer levels were below detection limits and SW5 2,4-DNT was below dection limits. There are no specific limits for surface water in the licence. There were no site specific contaminants reported in the offsite monitoring location SW6 which was introduced in Quarter 4 2012.

The results from the groundwater monitoring wells reported:

o Low level explosive products and related by-products were detected in 5 of the 17 monitoring wells installed on-site in 2014; GW1, GW2, GW8 and GW9. In GW17, extremely low (trace) levels of mono-nitrotoluene were detected in Q4 of 2014; Verdé believe this is

due the well itself creating a pathway from the shallow perched water to the deeper groundwater below.

o A new bedrock well GW14 was installed in Q3 (October 2014). Results indicated that there is no contamination of bedrock groundwater and no significant changes in quality during 2014.

o The installation of new monitoring wells and associated hydrogeological investigations confirmed the site lies in a groundwater discharge area, i.e. the underlying bedrock aquifer demonstrates an upward flow component.

o Two new overburden monitoring wells were installed into the natural clays in Q3 2014; GW2 and GW6. No contamination was found in any of the monitoring wells installed into the natural clays.

o Four new overburden monitoring wells were installed into the made ground of the site in Q3 2014. Three of these were installed into contaminant hotspots on-site; GW1, GW8 and GW9. GW1 was installed into the drum hotspot area and had the highest level of DNT contamination. GW8 and GW9 were installed into the hotspots to the east of the stores area. GW8 contained the highest levels of mono-nitrotoluenes. GW9 showed relatively low levels of DNT and NT contamination.

In general the quantity of waste sent off site is similar to 2013

Water usage is very similar to last year.

Electricity usage has decreased slightly since last year.

There were no environmental complaints received in 2014.

There were no non-compliances received from the Agency during 2014.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. PROJECT CONTRACTUAL BASIS & PERSONNEL INVOLVED

Verdé Environmental Consultants Ltd (Verdé) was commissioned by Irish Industrial Explosives Ltd (IIE) to complete the sites’ Annual Environmental Report (AER) for the period 1

st January 2014 to 31

st December 2014.

The scope of works in this report was issued in a proposal to IIE on 4th

February 2015. The proposed project objectives were to complete the Annual Environmental Report (AER) for the facility for 2014 as per the sites IPPC licence requirements and following the EPA’s AER Guidance Notes.

This report was prepared by Cyril Tynan, Senior EHS Consultant in conjunction with Maeve Lynskey, Environmental Scientist. The report was reviewed by Kevin Cleary, a Verdé Director with over 17 years’ experience in environmental consultancy. The laboratory analysis data reviewed for the report has been carried out by an accredited laboratory and has been submitted to the Agency previously as part of the regular quarterly reports for 2014.

1.2. IIE LICENCE STATUS

IIE were notified by the Agency’s Inspector on 23rd

August 2013 that the Agency considers that the site’s licence has lapsed and that the Agency will no longer be enforcing any part of the licence with the exception of the Residuals Management Plan. Clarification was sought by IIE in January 2014 and the Agency confirmed that regular monitoring and reporting is to be completed while detailed assessments are being carried out.

A waste characterisation and trial pit investigation took place in August 2014 (IIE Trial Pit Report, August 2014) and in late 2014, a further 8 no. wells were installed on site to characterise the site hydrogeology and also to further delineate pollutant pathways on-site. Proposed works for this year include the generation of a Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment for the site, the removal of an area of unregulated waste and the generation of a Residual Management Plan and Closure/Aftercare Plan.

The work is being carried out under the on-going Compliance Investigation (CI000481). The site details are outlined in Table 1.1.

1.3. REPORT OVERVIEW

The report format follows the Guidance Note for Annual Environmental Reporting and the Annex for AER/PRTR Reporting issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as follows:

Section 1: Provides a brief description on the activities of IIE and also provides details on the existing Environmental Management System in place.

Section 2: Presents summary information on self-monitoring data, energy and water consumption, waste management, environmental incidents and complaints for the 2014 calendar year. Also included are copies of the relevant PRTR Emissions and Waste Transfers summary tables.

Section 3: Presents information on environmental management at the site including a review of progress on the Environmental Management Programme (EMP) for 2014; it’s update for 2015 and the Targets and Objects for 2014 (review) and 2015 (proposed).

The report was prepared with data provided by IIE site management and from the regular IPPC compliance monitoring reports for 2014.

1.4. SITE DESCRIPTION

The IIE site is located in the townland of Clonagh, near Enfield in rural County Kildare (see Figure 1). The wider site covers a total area of c.50 hectares (blue boundary, Figure 2.) with the “working” site (red boundary) as delineated by security fencing, taking up approximately 40 hectares.

The manufacturing site consists of a number of segregated storage and production units. The majority of the production and storage areas are surrounded by constructed embankments. Additional activities on the site include administration, vehicles maintenance and wash-down, and controlled burning of explosives packaging wastes. Normal working hours at the facility are between 08:00 – 16:30 Monday to Thursday, 08:00 – 16:00 Friday. Twenty-four hour security is maintained at the site by the Gardaí and Irish Army.

The IIE site is located in a broad flat area in the upper reaches of the River Blackwater valley where the ground level varies between 70 and 80 m above sea level. The region is characterised by the vast areas given over to the commercial development of the peat bogs that are characteristic of this part of the Irish midlands. The IIE site is bounded on all sides by agricultural land which is used for light grazing. The wider area is a mixture of agricultural, one-off and low density residential housing and cutaway bog (see Figure 1).

1.5. SITE ACTIVITIES

The facility has been manufacturing explosive products since 1967 and was granted an IPPC Licence by the EPA in 1996.

There are currently 3 explosive products manufactured at the IIE facility:

Emugel (cartridged emulsion)

Ammogex (ANFO)

Kemex (Emulsion Matrix)

An outline of the process description for each product has been issued to the EPA on previous occasions and is not detailed further as no process has changed.

1.6. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Irish Industrial Explosives Ltd has implemented an EMS to enable a systematic and documented approach to environmental performance and improvement. It is based on ISO 14001, which requires a system of continuous improvement and ties in with the existing ISO quality system in the plant. The Environmental Management System consists of:

Environmental Policy Environmental Manual (procedures, work instructions, records, programmes and plans) Identification of environmental aspects, and evaluation of their significance. Objectives and programs for achieving environmental targets (EMP updated annually) Compliance with legal and other regulatory requirements. Audits, management reviews, and continuous improvement.

The goal of the Irish Industrial Explosives Ltd. EMS is to improve its environmental performance, focusing on:

Air emissions Hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation Energy usage reduction Process water usage Groundwater monitoring Surface water monitoring

1.7. ENVIRONMENTAL SITE SETTING

1.7.1 Monitoring Infrastructure

There are seventeen monitoring wells installed on site. The monitoring well naming scheme was updated in October 2014 after the installation of eight new monitoring wells.

GW13, GW15, GW10, GW11, GW12, and GW16 were installed onsite during 2010 to replace older monitoring wells. These are the “sentinel wells”.

GW3, GW4 and GW5 were installed in March 2011 in the vicinity of the ammonium nitrate (AN) pad at the Agency’s request.

GW1, GW2, GW6, GW7, GW8, GW9, GW14, and GW17 were installed in October 2014 as part of on-going site investigation works and to further characterise the hydrogeology of the area.

The monitoring wells are installed into the following strata: GW14, GW15 and GW16 are installed into the limestone bedrock; GW17 is installed into the overlying weathered bedrock; GW1 is installed into the unregulated waste hotspot by the ammonium nitrate pad; all other remaining walls are installed into the overburden which consists predominantly of clay with occasional gravels.

There are six surface water sampling points associated with the site; locations SW1 – SW5 as illustrated on

Figure 2 and the additional offsite monitoring location SW6 illustrated on Figure 1.

1.7.2 Hydrology

The site lies in the Boyne catchment (HA07), and within the sub-catchment of the Upper Blackwater River which is the main hydrogeological feature in the wider area. The Upper Blackwater flows in a roughly north-westerly direction approximately 2km from the eastern boundary of the site (see Figure 1).



P0055-01

Final

A number of surface water ditches and small streams are present in the vicinity of the site as illustrated on Figure 1. Surface water flow is northwards towards the River Blackwater and is sluggish in keeping with the regional topography.

The western drain, which bounds the area of contaminated land, converges with other drains from adjacent agricultural land as it flows north to where it discharges to the Blackwater in the townland of Dysart, some two kilometers to the northeast of the site.

In September 2013, the roof drains from the Ammonium Nitrate (AN) pad and adjacent garage and canon buildings were diverted so that the run-off is directly piped to the western drain as illustrated on Figure 2. Previously, the discharge was brought into the subsurface adjacent to the buildings.

1.7.3 Ecologically Protected Areas

The Upper Blackwater has no conservation designations; however it is listed as a brown trout fishery by the South-eastern Regional Fisheries Board. The Upper Blackwater joins the River Blackwater c. 20km to the northwest of the site The River Blackwater is designated as an SAC (site code 002299). The river basin management plan states that the Blackwater Upper catchment has good overall status but has been classified at risk due primarily to morphological threats (eg. channelisation, impoundments and drainage works).

Donadea Wood proposed National Heritage Area (pNHA) is located c. 5km southeast of the site and the Royal Canal pNHA is located c.4.6km to the north of the site boundary.

1.7.4 Geology and Vulnerability

The Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) database describes the soils at the site as consisting of limestone tills with peat deposits to the east of the site. There are also sand and gravel deposits recorded immediately to the east of the site.

Site investigations have shown that the above the bedrock there is two distinct clay layers separated by a thin layer of sand and gravel (total thickness c. 14m). The bottom clay layer is taken to be of glacial origin and to consist of ‘boulder clay’, i.e. gravel and boulders set in a dense clay matrix. The sand and gravel layer represents an outwash period at the end of the glacial period while the overlying clays were most likely deposited in either an alluvial setting or a lake environment.

The sand and gravel layer that is sandwiched between the two clay layers is taken as representing the extent of the Local Important (Lg) gravel aquifer beneath the IIE site. This appears in the eastern wells at 3 – 6m and gradually becomes shallower moving west before being disappearing along the western side of the site.

According to the GSI Vulnerability Guidelines, the aquifer vulnerability rating for the site is classified as High. Site investigations have shown that a vulnerability rating of Moderate to Low is more appropriate for the site.

This part of the Irish midlands is underlain at depth by Carboniferous aged limestone which is generally covered by a layer of glacial deposits of variable thickness. In places the glacial tills and outwash deposits are in turn covered by layers of alluvial sands and silts and in the Enfield area by extensive deposits of more recent peat.

The Geology of Kildare and Wicklow (GSI Sheet 16) shows this part of County Kildare underlain by Calp Limestone. Specifically the IIE site is shown as being underlain by rocks belonging to the Toberculleen and Lucan Formations both of which can be considered as facies within the very extensive Calp unit which is characterised by basinal limestones. Both the Toberculleen and Lucan Formations consist of dark grey argillaceous limestones and shale.

The geological information provided by the various drilling and trial pitting programmes has been compiled to provide cross sections through the IIE site and these are shown on Figures 3A-3D.

The cross sections show that the site is underlain by limestone bedrock at a depth of about 14 - 15m. However, the bedrock surface can be expected to fluctuate over short distances and even greater depths can be found in the current geological environment.

1.7.5 Hydrogeology

Aquifer Classification

The limestone bedrock is classified as a Locally Important (Lm) aquifer and which is moderately productive. The sand and gravel layer described above is sufficiently extensive to also be classified as a Local Important Aquifer (Lg) by the GSI.

Groundwater Flow Direction

Groundwater flow in the region, in both the bedrock and the overburden, is largely controlled by and towards the River Blackwater, i.e. eastwards from the IIE site, with groundwater contributing significantly to the base flow in the river. The region can be considered as a groundwater discharge area with an upward groundwater flow component in addition to the normal horizontal flow component. Furthermore, the complexity of the distribution, both vertically and horizontally, of the overburden deposits will result in local variations in groundwater flow patterns as the groundwaters in both the bedrock and overburden endeavour to discharge into the River Blackwater.

Groundwater levels from all monitoring wells on-site are presented in Table 1.7.5.

Horizontal Flow

The groundwater flow direction in the clays is in a northeasterly direction as illustrated on Figure 4. Groundwater and surface water movement is sluggish in keeping with the relatively flat topography and is largely controlled by and is towards the River Blackwater. Given the spatial distribution of the three bedrock wells, accurate triangulation is not possible. However,

levels indicate that the bedrock groundwater flow is generally in a northerly direction towards the River

Blackwater and River Boyne as illustrated on Figure 5.

Vertical Flow

Comparison with groundwater levels in the bedrock well GW14 with the nearly overburden well GW2 confirm

that there is an upward flow gradient (differential 0.69m). The area is considered to be groundwater discharge

as groundwater endeavours to make its way to the receiving waters of the River Blackwater and River Boyne.

Groundwater Users

Kildare County Council have a series of supply wells installed within the Limestone bedrock aquifer which are located to the north of the site as shown on Figure 1 together with the outline of the source protection zones around each of the abstractions. The well field is not in production at present and Kildare County Council has indicated they plan to start production in the coming years.

It can be seen from Figure 1 that the IIE site lies partly within the Inner Source Protection Zone (ISPZ) for the Dysart abstraction and partly within the wider Outer Source Protection Zone (OSPZ) for the well field generally. The ISPZ is defined by the GSI as the 100 day travel time from any point below the water table to the source. The OSPZ essentially defines the overall catchment of the pumping well(s).

Figure 1 also shows the location of domestic wells that are recorded on the GSI online data base. The number of domestic wells reflects the rural and agricultural character of the area.

1.7.6 Areas of known Contamination

Contaminated Land

Previous investigations confirmed the presence of an area of ground contamination located to the north of the ammonium nitrate (AN) storage pad. This area was characterised in August 2014 and can be subdivided into a number of zones exhibiting different ground conditions. Subsequent investigations in late 2014 identified additional localised source areas to the rear of the garage and store buildings present on the site, with the extent of this contamination being confined to made ground soils that extend to a depth of around 0.5-1.0m below ground level (BGL).

Contaminated Water

Analytical results perched groundwater and surface water monitoring network on-site have indicated that

localised impact from this historic contamination has occurred. Elevated concentrations of 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT) isomers, ortho-nitrotoluene (O-NT) and ammonium ions have been identified. The results of regular environmental monitoring carried out during 2014 are generally in line with previous rounds of monitoring, although recent samples show that the concentrations of contamination have declined in the Western Drain area. The bedrock groundwater beneath the site remains free of contamination.

Potential Pollutants of Concern – Dinitrotoluene (DNT) and ortho-nitrotoluene (O-NT)

Dinitrotoluene (DNT) and ortho-nitrotoluene (o-NT) are nitroaromatic pollutants. Both 2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT are classified as priority pollutants by the U.S. EPA due to their toxicological properties. 2,4-DNT is also included in Included in Annex XIV of the EU’s REACH authorization list, which aims to strictly control the use of substances of very high concern (SVHC) under the REACH Regulations. 2,4-DNT has been put forward for inclusion due to its carcinogenic properties. Neither ONT, 2,4-DNT or 2,6-DNT are listed as hazardous substances by the Irish EPA.

The main exposure pathways are dermal contact, inhalation (DNT manufacturing facilities only) and ingestion of contaminated soil or water. ONT is a yellow liquid with a weak odour. DNT forms orange-yellow crystal solids at room temperature. The water solubility’s of 2,4-DNT (300mg/l) and 2,6-DNT (1,80mg/l) are moderate, and the log Kow (octanol/water partition coefficient) and log Koc (organic carbon soil partition coefficient) are low for both isomers. Therefore the compounds would have only a slight tendency to sorb to sediments, suspended solids, and biota. Consequently there is potential for transport via surface water or groundwater. The low lipophilicity of this compound predicts it is not expected to bioaccumulate in animal tissues (ATSDR, 1998).

Risk Assessment

The initial CSM assumed that the main source of DNT contamination was the drum area hotspot identified during the 2014 waste characterisation investigation. This relatively small and isolated area contains partially crushed drums and a quantity of water which is contaminated with DNT.

Further investigations in 2014 suggested that the drum area may not be the main contributory source to the low level contamination encountered in the western drain. It is likely that the areas to the back of the storage and the garage are the primary contamination sources. In addition, a new pollutant of concern, O-NT, was identified.

Based on discussions with the EPA, a Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment will be drawn up for the site in 2015. This report is currently being prepared and will be available for review toward the end of Q1 2015.

2. SUMMARY OF EMISSIONS AND WASTE TRANSFERS

This section presents summary information on environmental monitoring, water and energy consumption and incidents and complaints at Irish Industrial Explosives. Interpretation of the summary information and data for all environmental self-monitoring is presented. Laboratory certificates for all results were previously submitted to the EPA as part of the quarterly monitoring reports.

2.1. SURFACE WATER MONITORING

Surface water analytical results for 2014 are presented in Table 2. For comparative purposes the relevant environmental standards are also presented.

2.1.1 Reference Criteria

Comparisons between concentrations of the analytical parameters and industry-recognised benchmark criteria have been made to highlight the range of concentrations observed. The inorganic water quality results

have been compared to the following;

Parametric Value Levels (PVLs) from the EU Surface Water Regulations 2009

Interim Guideline Values (IGVs) from the EPA Discussion Documents “Environmental Quality Objectives and Environmental Quality Standards, The Aquatic Environment” 1997. Previous sampling rounds are also included to identify tends.

The down-stream and potentially contaminated samples (SW4, SW5 and SW6) underwent a more comprehensive analysis.

2.1.1 Surface Water Monitoring

Upstream Monitoring Points

Three of the monitoring locations, SW1, SW2 and SW3 are considered to be upstream of site activities (see Figure 2). The results from the upstream locations generally fall within the expected range for the local setting. There is continuing nutrient enrichment contamination in SW2 which may be related to agricultural and/or forestry land uses directly upstream.

Downstream Monitoring Points

Three of the regular monitoring locations, SW4, SW5 and SW6 are considered to be downstream of site activities (see Figure 2). Locations SW4 and SW5 are on the western drainage ditch which bounds the site and have historically reported low level Dinitrotoluene and hydrocarbon contamination.

Dinitrotoluene contamination decreased in the Q4 monitoring round compared to earlier in 2014. At SW4 2,6-DNT has decreased from 32ug/l to below limits of detection (LOD) and 2-4-DNT has decreased from 3.9ug/l to below LOD. This is the first occurrence in recent years that both DNT isomers have been below LOD at SW4. SW5 reported

There were no hydrocarbons reported for any of the downstream locations in Q4.

Graph 2.1.1 Contamination Trend in Western Drain

From the historic data it appears that the contamination levels are seasonal and are expected to correlate with rainfall.

No contamination was reported for the off-site downstream location SW6 with results indicating good water quality at this location.

2.2. GROUNDWATER RESULTS

Groundwater analytical results are presented in Tables 3. For comparative purposes the relevant environmental standards are also presented. Following the Q2 monitoring round, the format was updated following the installation of 8 no. new monitoring wells, as a result the yearly monitoring results are presented in two different formats; shown as Table 3A and Table 3B.


Comparisons between concentrations of the analytical parameters and industry-recognised benchmark criteria have been made to highlight the range of concentrations observed. The inorganic water quality results have been compared to the following;

Groundwater Regulation Threshold Values under S.I. 9 of 2010

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Interim Guideline Values (IGV) as detailed in the “Interim report towards setting guideline values for the protection of groundwater in Ireland”

As of Q3, the groundwater results are also compared to S.I. 122 of 2014 (Drinking Water Regulations)

2.2.2 Groundwater Analytical Results (Overburden Wells – Made Ground)

The groundwater wells installed within made ground are GW1, GW3, GW7, GW8 and GW9. Of these, only GW3 was installed prior to the Q3 sampling event; the remaining wells were installed in Quarter 3 of 2014. Samples taken were analysed as outlined in the sample inventory presented in Table 1.

pH and Conductivity

The pH was consistently within expected range for groundwater. Conductivity and total dissolved solids were consistently elevated throughout 2014.

Major ions

Calcium, magnesium, sulphate and manganese were consistently elevated in GW3 (1,516 ug/l in Q4) throughout 2014, which is consistent with the previous year’s monitoring. Manganese was also very elevated in GW1 (1,316ug/l in Q4). Both of these results were significantly higher than the potentially naturally occurring elevated manganese levels observed in the natural overburden. All other ions were within acceptable levels within all wells.

Nitrite, nitrate, ammonium and total nitrogen

Nitrate was elevated in GW3, GW8 and GW9 and high in GW1. Nitrite was below LOD in GW1, GW3, GW7, GW8 and GW9. Ammoniacal nitrogen elevated in GW1 and GW7 (Q4, 113.78ug/l) and slightly elevated in GW8 and GW9 (in Q3). Ammoniacal nitrogen was also consistently elevated in GW3 throughout 2014 (Q4, 63.46mg/l). Total nitrogen was elevated in all wells, particularly GW3 and GW7.

Hydrocarbons

During the Q4 monitoring, hydrocarbons were detected in GW1, GW8 and GW9.All these detections where in the carbon bands i.e. EPH >C10-C12 or >C12-C16. Elevated hydrocarbons were detected in GW7 in Q3, this normalised to below LOD in Q4, confirming that the previous result was probably related to a lubricant oil rather than a nitro-aromatic compound.

Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC)

DNT isomers were detected in a number of monitoring wells. Results were particularly elevated in GW1, but DNT isomers were also detected in GW8 and GW9.

Elevated levels of O-NT were detected in GW8 and also in GW1 and GW9.

2.2.3 Groundwater Analytical Results (Overburden Wells – Natural Ground)

There are 8 no. groundwater wells installed within the natural overburden (not within the waste area): GW2, GW4, GW5, GW6, GW10, GW11, GW12, and GW13. Of these, GW2 and GW6 were installed during the October 2014 site investigation. Samples taken were analysed for parameters as outlined in the sample inventory presented in Table 1.

GW2 is likely to have been impacted with cement grout given its high pH, high alkalinity and high conductivity; therefore the results are removed from the following analysis as it is believed they are inaccurate.

pH and Conductivity

The pH and conductivity results were within expected range for groundwater.

Major ions

Elevated levels of manganese were observed in all wells, exceeding IGV and drinking water guidelines levels. As manganese is elevated in the wells to the east of the site (GW 11 and 10), far from the known contamination sources, and in GW12 located upstream the south of the site, it’s probable that there are naturally high manganese levels within the clay groundwater body. All other ion concentrations were within statutory limits.


In GW6, elevated nitrate was observed in Q3 and less so in Q4, ranging from 353mg/l in Q3 to 28.5mg/l in Q4. Elevated ammoniacal nitrogen and total nitrogen levels were also observed. These results are probably due to the GW6 well’s close proximity to the ammonium nitrate storage pad.

Concentrations of nitrogen and nitrogenous compounds are very low to below limits of detection in all other wells.


Only new well GW6 was tested for SVOCs the result of which was below LOD.

2.2.4 Groundwater Analytical Results (Bedrock Wells)

The new groundwater wells installed within the bedrock (GW14) and the upper water bearing weathered bedrock (GW17) were sampled and analysed for the audit suite of parameters while the older bedrock wells were analysed for the check suite as outlined in the sample inventory presented in Table 2.

pH and Conductivity

The pH of GW14 decreased from 10.81 to 8.59 in Q4, the higher pH in Q3 is believed to have due to residual



P0055-01

13 28 March 2014

50559

Final

grout following the installation of the well. Conductivities and TDS at both locations are lower than the shallower wells indicating less mineralised bedrock groundwater.

Major ions

All major ions for the three bedrock wells samples (GW14, GW15 and GW16) remained below their relevant groundwater standards in 2014. The only exception was the chloride levels in GW15, which are consistently c. 50mg/l. This exceeds the EPA IGV of 30mg/l but is significantly less than the drinking water parametric value of 250mg/l. In GW17, chloride ion levels were elevated in Q3 (57.69mg/l) but decreased to 11.27 mg/l in Q4. Manganese, calcium and magnesium levels also increased in GW17 during this period.


Nitrite, nitrate, Ammoniacal nitrogen and total nitrogen are all low as expected with deeper groundwater.


There were no SVOC compounds from the routine target list analysis detected in the any of the bedrock samples.

In the Q4 results for GW17, the sub-contracted lab reported some very minor concentrations of nitrotoluenes including: 0.8ug/l 2,4-DNT, 0.9ug/l 2,6-DNT and 23.3 2-N. These results are in contradiction to the standard SVOC analysis and the Q3 results. It is believed this is due to the creation of a pathway via the monitoring well from the upper perched water to the deeper water body; this conclusion is supported by the changes in ion chemistry in GW17 between the Q3 and Q4 sampling rounds.

2.3. SOIL CHEMISTRY

Soil samples were obtained during the trial pit investigation in August 2014 (Trial Pit Survey Report, Aug. 2014) and during the site investigation carried out in November 2014 to delineate the second hotspot area (Q4 Monitoring Report, Jan. 2015). A third set of soil samples was obtained during the installation of monitoring wells in October 2014 (Quarter 3 Monitoring Report).

The soil analytical results are presented in Tables 5 and 6 (Trial Pit Survey Samples) and Table 7 (Quarter 4 Site Investigation and Quarter 3 Monitoring Well Installation).


Comparisons between concentrations of the analytical parameters and industry-recognised benchmark criteria have been made to highlight the range of concentrations observed. The reference criteria used include;

Soil Guideline Values (SGV) published by the Environment Agency UK

LQM/CIEH Generic Assessment Criteria 2009 (commercial land) at 1% Soil Organic Matter

EIC/AGS/CL:AIRE Generic Assessment Criteria 2010 (commercial land) at 1% Soil Organic Matter (unless otherwise stated)

Additional Verdé – derived GACs based CLEA version 1.06 consistent with Environment Agency (2009) “Updated Technical Background to the CLEA Model”, report SC050021/SR3 and updated where relevant to include CL:AIRE (2013)

2.3.2 Soil Results for Trial Pit Survey August 2014

During the August 2014 Trial Pit Survey, soils were analysed for a details suite of compounds to identify the presence of a variety of contaminants and indicators of soil chemistry. An outline of the area investigation is shown in Figure 6. Key findings from this survey are included in Table 5.

Final

PAHs, Petroleum Hydrocarbons and PCBs

Concentrations of PAHs were all below GACs and laboratory detection limits for the samples tested. Minor concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons were found in a number of locations. All concentrations were below 600 mg/kg and below GACs for commercial land use for individual carbon band groups. Some low level PCBs were detected (0.011 mg/kg) in made ground samples from Trial Pit TP121 although concentrations were significantly below the relevant GAC of 240 mg/kg.

Metals

There is no significant variation in concentrations between natural soils and made ground apart from a minor increase in the made ground in Trial pit 128. Concentrations of all metals and metalloids in all locations are below appropriate GACs for commercial land use.

Nitrogenous compounds

Ammoniacal Nitrogen, Nitrates and Nitrites were examined. Ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations were not detected in many trial pits and the most elevated concentrations were observed in TP120, TP128 and TP130 at concentrations between 43.2 and 48.7 mg/kg. The presence of ammoniacal nitrogen may be an indicator of somewhat anaerobic conditions in these areas. Nitrate concentrations are most notable in TP125, TP126 and TP128 at concentrations ranging between 199.7 – 234.3mg/kg.

Explosives and Contaminants of Concern

Explosive parent compounds and breakdown derivatives were analysed. Low levels of 2,6-DNT and 2,4-DNT was found in TP130 in all samples taken between 0 – 2m below ground level. The highest concentration of 2,6 DNT was 3.3mg/kg and this is considerably below the quoted GAC of 1,900 mg/kg. The highest concentration of 2,4-DNT was 112 mg/kg and this is considerably below the quoted GAC of 3,700mg/kg.

2.3.3 Soil Results from Q3 2014

The following soil samples were taken during the installation of monitoring wells in October 2014. The results are presented in Table 7 alongside the relevant assessment criteria.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

No PAHs were reported in any of the samples tested.

Metals

All metal analysis results are within the relevant assessment criteria with no elevated concentrations reported for the parameters tested.

Hydrocarbons

No hydrocarbons were reported for any of the samples tested with the exception of GW8 (depth 0.2-0.5) which reported slightly elevated concentrations in the aromatic EC12-EC16 range (541mg/l).


The pollutant of concern DNT which is a semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) was found in a number of locations as follows:

GW1 (1.6mbgl) 4.184 mg/kg 2,4-DNT

GW1 (1.8-1.9mbgl) 1.267 mg/kg 2,6-DNT

GW8 (0.2-0.55mbgl) 133.662 mg/kg 2,4-DNT

GW8 (0.2-0.55mbgl) 49.004 mg/kg 2,6-DNT

The SVOC TIC analysis reported a number of additional nitro aromatic compounds in GW8 (0.2-0.55mbgl)

related to DNT or its degradation. These concentrations are lower than the targeted DNT analysis summarised above.

The DNT concentrations are below the screening values for the DNT isomers which are 1,900 mg/kg 2,4-DNT and 3,700 mg/kg 2,6-DNT.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC)

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) target list and TIC analysis was carried out on all soil samples. No target list VOCs were reported. TIC analysis reported, 1-methyl-2-nitro-Benzene at a concentration of 267ug/kg in GW8 3.0-4.0m. This is a nitro aromatic compound and is associated with DNT and its degradation. No other SVOC or VOC was reported for this location at this depth. An in-depth breakdown of the TIC analysis was submitted as part of the Q3 Monitoring report and will not be repeated here.

2.3.4 Soil Results from Q4 2014

The following results were obtained during the November 2014 site investigation carried out to delineate the second hotspot to the rear of the stores area, illustrated in Figure 7. These results are compared to the soil samples obtained during the monitoring well installation carried out in October 2014. The analytical results are shown in Table 7.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

PAHs were not detected in the majority of boreholes; details of the boreholes where PAHs were detected are summarised in table 2.3.4 below.

Generic Assessment Criteria (CL:AIRE) 1,900 3,700

The DNT concentrations are below the GAC values for the DNT isomers which are 1,900 mg/kg 2,4-DNT and 3,700 mg/kg 2,6-DNT (CL:AIRE 2010 (commercial land) at 1% Soil Organic Matter).

Notably the samples from the natural clays were either free of DNT (BH1) or contained very low levels (BH5) despite the contamination in the upper made ground.

To contrast; the results from the soil samples obtained from the hotspot area during the trial pit investigation were less than those reported in the former washing area (samples BH1, BH5 and BH21).

2.4. EMISSIONS TO AIR

In accordance with Condition 5 of the IPC licence, emissions to atmosphere are managed to ensure that no odour nuisance occurs beyond the site boundary.

The only direct emissions from the facility arise from the operation of two oil boilers at the facility, which are detailed below, and from the burning of explosive wastes in accordance with best practice for the explosives industry.

A new boiler was installed in 2007 (23/4345) at the facility and this is the primary boiler with the remaining boiler in place as a stand-by (23/4584) which is currently disused. Both boilers were serviced on the 27

th May

2014.

Post service data for emissions from the main boiler are presented in Table 2.5. This data is compared with the TA Luft Guidelines for oil-fired boilers. In addition, this data is used to determine the mass emissions per annum from the boilers for the PRTR reporting.

Correspondence from the site’s inspector on 3rd

December 2013 via the EDEN system indicated that as the Agency deems the site’s licence to be lapsed, noise emissions are now a matter for the local authority.

2.6. WASTE GENERATION

IIE maintains records of waste generated on-site in accordance with Condition 6 of the IPPC Licence. This section presents details on waste quantities and types at the facility and represents the waste management record for the site as prescribed under Condition 6 of the IPPC licence.

2.6.1. HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION

The primary hazardous waste produced onsite in 2014 was explosive contaminated waste as detailed in Table 2.7.1. Controlled burning of explosives waste in a designated burn area is carried out in accordance with the Federation of European Explosives Manufacturers. The facility aims to reduce the quantities of hazardous waste generated and treated off-site, and to effectively recover and recycle this waste where technically feasible.

There was no hazardous waste transported off-site in 2014.

2.6.2. BURNING OF EXPLOSIVES WASTE

Condition 6.2 of the IPPC licence states that waste explosives and explosives contaminated waste shall be treated on site by burning, (as recommended by the Federation of European Explosives Manufacturers). A log of the burning of explosives waste is maintained which states date, type and quantity of materials burned.

The total mass of material burned (EWC 16 04 03) onsite in 2014 was 0.5 tonne. Individual burning records are maintained for this material.

2.6.3. NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION

There are a total of 6no. 1,100litre bins on site (3 x MMW, 3 x Dry Recyclables). These bins are emptied every week and were weighed at lifting. Three skips were also removed from site with general waste. The quantity of non-hazardous waste generated in 2014 is provided in Table 2.7.3.

3 of this was municipal water and 500m

3 was collected rainwater. This is very similar to

the water usage in 2013.

2.9. ENVIRONMENTAL INCIDENTS

All Environmental incidents and complaints are recorded in “Industry Safe” safety management software and are earmarked for corrective action.

There were no complaints or environmental incidents in 2014. There were no formal non-compliances issued by the Agency in 2014.

Final

A summary of the emissions and Waste Transfer statistics for IIE in 2014 are presented in the AER/PRTR Reporting Workbook sheets attached in the Appendix. There were no direct emissions to the environment from the site in 2014 with the exception of the boiler emissions to air as detailed in Section 2.3.

3. MANAGEMENT OF THE ACTIVITY

This section of the AER presents an update on work achieved and work planned at the facility in achieving continual environmental improvement.

The environmental site investigation works carried out in 2014 established the extent and nature of the historical contamination on-site. In 2015, a residuals management plan will be drawn up to manage this historical contamination.

Continual improvement is managed through the Environmental Management Programme (EMP) as a requirement of the IPPC licence (now lapsed). The Environmental targets and progress for 2014 are detailed in this section. In addition to achieving continual improvements, the objectives and targets for 2015 are also presented in this section.

The Environmental Management Programme (EMP) ensures that the requirements of the EHS Policy are met. The EMP documents the strategy for achieving the planned objectives and targets and will:

Identify specific actions which are required to ensure that environmental objectives are achieved

Assign appropriate responsibilities for achieving each environmental objective and

Set deadlines for achieving the various environmental objectives.

The EMP is prepared, reviewed and updated annually to account for yearly improvements resulting from the introduction of the objectives and targets programme, and to ensure that new developments or products are covered and are maintained within the scope of the environmental management system.

3.2. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL 2015

A Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (DQRA) is being developed to assess the risks posed by

contamination sources: the drum hotspot area and waste/ash area; and the DNT and ONT areas to rear of

garage and store. This will be ready for issue toward the end of Q1 2015.

Works to remove the historical waste area adjacent to the ammonium nitrate pad will begin in Quarter 2 2015.

This has already been discussed with the EPA and it is proposed to submit a finalised plan to the EPA during

April 2015 for approval.

A Residuals Management Plan will be developed for the site in Quarter 2 - 3, as per the licence requirements;

this will incorporate the findings of the DQRA which is currently being finalised by IIE. It is recommended that

regular quarterly monitoring is continued to monitor groundwater and surface water quality and a review of

the monitoring scope is proposed after consideration of the DQRA findings and ongoing monitoring data.
