1.0 Introduction

WYG Environment & Planning Ltd (WYG) was commissioned by Dale Farm in October 2018 to prepare

an updated Site Protection and Monitoring Programme (SPMP) for its milk and juice manufacturing

processing facility - Pennybridge (the ‘installation’).

The Site is regulated under the Pollution Prevention and Control (Industrial Emissions) Regulations

(Northern Ireland) 2013 (the PPC Regulations). The original Environmental Permit (EP) for the Site

was issued on 01 July 2006, Reference P0093/05A. The EP was varied on 01 August 2011 and as a

result is now reference P00093/05A/V1.

The previous SPMP review was prepared in July 2016 by way of a review of the Site Condition Report

in pursuance of Condition 4.1.7 of IPPC Permit reference P0093/05A.

This SPMP has been prepared in accordance with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency Guidance

H7 – Guidance on the Protection of Land Under the PPC Regime: Application Site Reporting and Site

Protection and Monitoring Programme - Site Report Guidance and template for applicants and

operators – Version 1, dated March 2004.



2.0 Site Information

2.1 Site Location

The Site is located within an industrial setting approximately 1.6km south east of Ballymena town

centre and can be accessed via the Larne Road or the Limavady Road off Ballee Road East, dual

carriageway. The site is centred at grid reference 311663 401811.

Inset 1 Site Location Plan

The Site is surrounded to the north by light industrial and commercial units, to the east by

Pennybridge Industrial Estate along with several light industrial and commercial units, to the west

by scrub land and recreational facilities, and to the south by scrub land and residential properties. A

fuel station and heating oil supplier is located approximately 10m from the eastern boundary of the

Site.



2.2 Details of Installation

The site layout is presented on Figure 1 which shows the Permit boundary and main operational

areas. Most of the Site footprint is covered by buildings and hardstanding (concrete/bitmac/asphalt)

that appeared to be in good condition during the site visit on 19th October 2018. A section of ground

around the perimeter of the factory to the north west, west and south west is scrub land which is

being managed for potential ecological development.

Raw materials typically stored at the site are presented on Table 2.1.

2.3 Site Conceptual Model

This section provides a summary of the original Site Conceptual Model.

Table 2.3 Original Site Conceptual Model

Aspect Details

Geology

Made Ground – Made Ground is expected across much of the site due to

historic site development activities.

Drift – Glaciofluvial sands, gravels and boulders

Solid – Lower Basalt Formation

Hydrogeology

Site underlain by a locally important aquifer with limited abstraction potential and

moderate to low hydraulic conductivity. However, the soils have a high leaching potential.

The overlying sands and gravels may not provide significant protection to the underlying

aquifer.

Groundwater was encountered in 1No borehole during drilling by Glover Site Investigations

in September 2009. The borehole (BH01) is located beneath the main building onsite and

water was encountered at 2.3mbgl within glaciofluvial deposits

Surface Water Features

The Site is located within the catchment of the Deerfin Burn, which drains to the Braid

River. The Deerfin Burn flows in a westerly direction approximately 75m to the north and

75m west of the Pennybridge site. The Deerfin Burn flows in a westerly direction before

joining the Braid River which in turn flows into the River Main before flowing into Lough

Neagh.

The Deerfin Burn has a chemical classification of moderate to high and a biological

classification of moderate to good

Ecological Receptors No ecologically sensitive areas within 500m of the site.

Contamination

Identified in Previous

Investigations

GLOVERS SITE INVESTIGATIONS (2009)

Glover Site Investigations completed an intrusive investigation at the Site in September

2009. Seven boreholes were sunk with one installation. Three small disturbed soil samples

were taken and sent for laboratory analysis. All soil sample results were recorded below

relevant published human health screening criteria for commercial land use. Eluate results

(from the Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) tests) have been compared to published water

quality standards (either surface water or drinking water, whichever is lowest) and all

results were found to be below the screening levels. The full Site investigation report is

provided at Appendix B.

CAUSEWAY GEOTECH (2014)

An intrusive investigation was carried out by Causeway Geotech in September 2014 in the

location of the newly constructed DAF plant. 4No. disturbed soil samples were submitted

for laboratory analysis (one from each borehole). All soil sample results were recorded

below relevant published human health screening criteria for commercial land use. Eluate

results (WAC tests) have been compared to published water quality standards (either

surface water or drinking water, whichever is most conservative). The sample from BH03,

at a depth of 0.5 m, contains copper and nickel that leaches at concentrations marginally

greater than the water quality standards (copper: 0.0062 mg/l compared to the 0.06 mg/l

standard; and nickel 0.00235 mg/l compared to the 0.002 mg/l standard). These

concentrations are unlikely to be a concern. All other concentrations are lower than the

water quality standards. The full Site investigation report is provided at Appendix B.

WYG (2016)

A groundwater ‘grab’ sample was collected from an on-site borewell located adjacent tm

the Chemical storage area (Drawing 2) on 25 May 2016 for analysis to facilitate the SCR

update. No information is held on the installation details or date of installation for this

borehole other than that it was installed in 2010 as part of a groundwater abstraction

assessment.

The groundwater sample was analysed for a range of potential contaminants including

metals, speciated total petroleum hydrocarbons, speciated polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons, cyanide and pH. All results were recorded below UK DWS / relevant

guidance limits excluding several Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (Phenanthrene,

Fluoranthene, Pyrene, Benzo(a)anthracene, Chrysene and Benzo(bk)fluoranthene) which

were present in small quantities. These contaminants are associated with petroleum-based

products and potentially originate from fuel. The full lab report is found at Appendix B.

2.3.1 Uncertainties and Assumptions in CSM

The following uncertainties and assumptions are implicit in the CSM described:

• Thickness and composition of shallow ground conditions across the site are unknown. It is

assumed that much of the developed portions of the site are underlain by Made Ground which

is further underlain by Boulder Clay. A geotechnical site investigation was carried out by

Causeway Geotech in 2014. The site investigation information is limited to the footprint of the

DAF plant located in the eastern portion of the site. In the eastern portion of the site, firm to



stiff clay was encountered from approximately 0.2mbgl. Boreholes were terminated between

2.4 and 2.6mbgl is suspected weathered bedrock;

• The depth to groundwater is not known across the site, although no water strikes were

encountered during the Causeway Geotech site investigation;

• Pollution incidents may have occurred from before the current factory existed.

3.0 CEMP Objectives

The objectives of this report are:

• To design a monitoring programme for the installation to:

o Monitor the effectiveness of the pollution prevention infrastructure and provide early

warning of any release of polluting substances to the environment;

o Monitor the effectiveness of the pollution prevention infrastructure and provide early

warning of any release of polluting substances to ground or groundwater;

o To collect data on the condition of the ground at the installation to assist in the permit

surrender process;

• To review and if necessary amend the inspection, testing and maintenance programme for

pollution prevention infrastructure at the installation to ensure their continued integrity.



4.0 Environmental Monitoring Plan

4.1 Objectives of the Monitoring Programme

4.1.1 Objectives of the Environmental Monitoring Programme

The objectives of monitoring discharge, groundwater, air, and soil at the installation are as follows:

• To monitor the effectiveness of infrastructure and management procedures and provide a

warning of loss of contaminants;

• To assist at Permit Surrender by;

o Determining the movement of pollutants off the site via discharge at the installation;

o Determining the movement of pollutants within groundwater in the vicinity of the

effluent treatment plant at the installation;

o Determine land quality at the installation to assist in the permit surrender process,

and;

o Providing data on long term trends.

4.1.2 Objectives of the Infrastructure Monitoring Programme

The purpose of the infrastructure monitoring programme is to demonstrate the effectiveness of

pollution prevention measures at the site throughout the life of the permit.

Historical samples have been taken from the environmental monitoring infrastructure which includes

discharge monitoring points from which samples are collected prior to being discharged to the River

Maine.

The existing discharge monitoring infrastructure within the permitted area is suitable for both the

requirements of the SPMP and the monitoring requirements of the PPC Permit.

The substances that may potentially pollute the groundwater are expected to be detectible in the

proposed groundwater monitoring boreholes.



4.2 Environmental Monitoring Infrastructure

4.2.1 Discharge Monitoring Infrastructure

Figure 1 shows the location of the discharge monitoring points at the installation in relation to the

location of the sources of contamination at the site. A site drainage plan has been presented on

Figure 2.

Discharge monitoring point detail is summarised on Table 4.1.

4.2.2 Groundwater Monitoring Infrastructure

There are currently no shallow groundwater monitoring boreholes available for sampling at the site.

It is proposed that shallow groundwater monitoring boreholes will be included in the works package

for future geotechnical site investigations at the site.

4.2.3 Soil Testing

At present it is not proposed to undertake any on-going soil monitoring as part of the SPMP. Soil

samples will be retrieved and analysed during site investigations at the site in the future.

Soil samples will be analysed for the following parameters -

• Total petroleum hydrocarbons

• Heavy fuel oil, diesel range organics

• PAH, PTE’s and nitrogen compounds

• TN, NO3, NH4 and pH

These will form the baseline data for the site.



4.2.4 Procedure for the Inspection and Maintenance of Environmental Monitoring

Infrastructure

Discharge

Storm Drains - A visual inspection of the drainage system will be carried out quarterly. Any drains,

which are reported to be damaged, or not free flowing will be cleaned, and further inspection

completed if necessary.

Hard standing - A visual inspection of the external yard will be carried out monthly. Any flooring

which is reported to be in a poor condition will be repaired.

Chemical bunds - Various areas around the site as identified in the ASR, these will be checked

monthly.

Interceptor - Checked once per quarter.

4.3 Environmental Monitoring Schedule

4.3.1 Discharge

Discharge is routinely monitored at the site at multiple discharge locations at the site. Discharge

monitoring locations are presented on Figure 1. The discharge monitoring frequency has been

presented on Table 4.3, and the parameters to be analysed at each location, and their respective

consented limits, are presented on Table 4.4.

An emergency monitoring plan will be enacted following:

• An incident at the installation resulting in an emission to land;

• Pollution identified from environmental monitoring during the operation of the installation or

increasing from reference data levels; or,

• If reference data shows pollution that is not attributed to non-permitted sources.

The emergency monitoring plan will include an increased frequency of monitoring to facilitate

identifying the source and extent of any pollution and to determine whether remediation is required

under the PPC Regulations.

4.4 Summary Sampling Protocols

This section provides a summary of the sampling protocols in place at the site, which have also been

presented in the original SPMP prepared for the site. A full copy of the site Environmental Monitoring



Procedures have been provided at Appendix A, and a copy of the original SPMP prepared for the site

has been presented at Appendix B.

4.4.1 Discharge to Surface Water

Surface water will be collected from the points presented on Figure 1. Each sample will be collected

directly from the sampling point using clean sampling vessels provided by the laboratory.

4.4.2 Groundwater

Since groundwater monitoring locations are currently unavailable at the site, a groundwater sampling

procedure will be incorporated into the Environmental Monitoring Procedures document when

appropriate.

4.4.3 Soil

When soil sampling takes place, soil samples will be collected by a qualified experienced site

investigation engineer. All samples will be collected as un-disturbed samples from a window sample

tube. The samples will be logged and stored as appropriate prior to being sent for analysis at an

accredited lab.

Laboratory Accreditation / Quality Assurance and Quality Control

4.4.4 Laboratory Accreditation

All laboratory analysis should be completed at a UKAS (or equivalent) accredited laboratory. The

current supplier to Dromona is McQuillan Envirocare Ltd. A copy of the laboratory accreditation has

been provided at Appendix E. It is noted that the accreditation status of McQuillan Envriocare is

renewed annually on the 4th September. Up to date accreditation certificates should requested

annually post 4th September annually for as long as McQuillan Envirocare supply analytical services

to Dale Farm.

4.4.5 Quality Control

Under the conditions of laboratory accreditation, accredited laboratories have robust quality

assurance and quality control procedures.



4.5 Sampling Personnel

Personnel responsible for sampling, maintenance and inspection will be trained in environmental

monitoring to an appropriate level to ensure compliance with the quality assurance and quality control

plan. A copy of Dale Farm’s ISO14001 QA certificate has been provided at Appendix D.

4.6 Infrastructure Monitoring Programme

In addition to laboratory analysis of surface water samples, routine inspections are carried on

4.6.1 Personnel

Personnel responsible for the inspection, testing and maintenance of pollution prevention

infrastructure are trained to an appropriate level to ensure compliance with the Infrastructure

Monitoring. Personnel training records are stored on a training matrix maintained by HR.



5.0 Assessment and Reporting Procedures

5.1 Assessment Procedure

The Pennybridge Assessment Procedure has been presented at Appendix A. In summary, checklists

for the inspection and recording of fixed bunds, hard surfacing in relevant areas and maintenance

will be kept on site. The inspections will be primarily visual to identify any signs of corrosion, cracks

or other damage. Should any damage be identified that could affect the integrity of the bunds this

will be checked through water testing. Damaged hard standing will be sealed and repaired.

The effluent drainage system will be visually checked every 3 months to ensure manholes are clear

and free flowing. The system will be maintained in good working order. Manual inspection of the

storm drains will be made every month. Any suspected leaks would be investigated, and remedial

action taken as necessary. The site drainage plan will be maintained, and any changes made to the

drainage system incorporated.

5.2 Reporting Procedure

Summaries of the monitoring data will be sent to the NIEA on the 31st of January each year in an

Annual Report which includes the results of the data assessment, and any recommendations for

amendments to the Monitoring Programme.

5.3 Recording and Data Management

Inspection and assessment records of all of the above will be maintained and stored on site.

Records of the infrastructure monitoring will be retained at the installation for a minimum period of

3 years. The SPMP will be maintained with regular reviews completed at least every 2yrs. The results

of the review and any proposed changes will be discussed with the regulator.



6.0 Planned Preventative Maintenance Programme

A Planned Preventative Maintenance Programme (PPM) is in place at the Site. The PPM programme

is computerised and is in place to ensure that all associated maintenance is recorded and completed

at a frequency appropriate for maintenance and inspection to prevent leaks, spillages and

breakdowns. There is a register of materials storage locations as part of the materials handling

procedure which is maintained by the Environmental Manager. The results of all inspections are

recorded in the installation log book.

The original ASCR stated that there is no EMS on site as yet, however the Site has implemented an

Environmental Management System (EMS) to the external standard BS EN ISO 14001. A copy of the

certification is provided at Appendix D.

TITLE: BUNDWATER INSPECTION AND REMOVAL

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Bulk tanks are contained within a bunded area or on a spill pallet to provide secondary

containment in the event of a spill or breach from the tank.

The purpose of checking bunds is to:

• Check for bund integrity ie no cracks or holes that could allow liquid to escape

• Establish if the bund contains liquid and may require emptying

A bund may contain liquid because of the leak of the primary containment vessel or from

rain water where the bund is exposed to the elements.

Filling the bund with liquid reduces the volume that can be contained in the event of a

leak and thus, in the event of a major spill or breach of the tank, the bund would overflow

and cause a potential pollution incident.

Therefore, bunds must be regularly checked for accumulated rainwater (Weekly) and

emptied in a controlled manner.

Valves and taps in bunds must NEVER be left open but must always be closed and

locked to prevent vandalism. These should be preferably avoided when purchasing new

bunds

2.0 SCOPE

This procedure covers all bunds

3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES

It is the responsibility of the Yardman / Production Manager or delegate to carry out the

inspections detailed here.

• Failure to carry out such inspections and to maintain this site infrastructure in

adequate condition may result in pollution incidents which could lead to

prosecutions, large fines and clean up costs.


EWI 02



2

• Inspections of tanks, bunds must be carried out according to the inspection

schedule

• Ensure records are maintained to demonstrate that this maintenance has been

carried out in full, and with the required frequency. Ref SPMP1 Date Rev

04/01/2019

• All inspections detailed here must be carried out in daylight hours only.

• Do not enter confined space without a permit to work.

All observations, defects and necessary remedial work must be recorded on a non-

conformance report form. This must be passed to a manager for action at the earliest

opportunity. Any defects which present a risk of causing pollution must be reported

immediately to the unit manager and any necessary remedial work undertaken as a matter

of priority.

4.0 PROCEDURE

The list of uncovered bunds which require regular checking is detailed on the Bund check

sheet Doc Ref SPMP1.

These frequency of carrying out checks will be dependant on weather conditions but must

be checked on a regular basis, as a minimum this should be monthly in summer months

or daily in the event of significant rainfall.

It is the responsibility of the Production Manager to ensure these checks are completed

and log that the check has been carried out and any action taken to remove bundwater.

This must include details of relevant checks on contamination ( as indicated below) and

the nature of the action taken because of these checks.

Bundwater contamination and appropriate disposal option

Prior to emptying any accumulated water in bunds, the liquid must be checked for

contamination. The appropriate method of disposal of this liquid is dependant on the

nature of contamination. This is summarised in the table 1:

Type of tank in Indicator of contamination Disposal option if contaminated

vehicle haulage activities undertaken by contractors and NAMPAK blow moulding facility.

2.0 Objectives

The objectives of this report are:

To design a monitoring programme for the installation to:

Monitor the effectiveness of pollution prevention infrastructure and management procedures

to provide an early warning of any loss of containment.

To review and if necessary amend the inspection, testing and maintenance programme for

pollution prevention infrastructure at the installation to ensure their continued integrity

To collect data on the natural ground conditions at the installation to verify the conceptual

site model and to assist in the permit surrender process

3.0 Summary of the application site report

The main findings of the Application report are summarised in this chapter

3.1 Activities to be operated within the installation

Site operations were reviewed by Enviros Consulting to identify activities operated within the

PPC installation that could lead to future ground contamination

The assessment indicated that there was a reasonable possibility of future land pollution

occurring for the following activities under current conditions

1. Storage of milk

2. Delivery of diesel

3. Storage of waste oil and

Page 7 of 17

4. Potential leakage from effluent drainage systems

3.2 Site Zoning

3.5 Updated Conceptual site Model

Key elements of the conceptual site model are summarised in table 2.

Aspect Details

Geology Drift – Alluvium (laminated silt, fine sand and

gravel)

Solid – Lower Basalt Formation

Hydrogeology Site underlain by a locally important aquifer in

which groundwater flow is dominantly through

fissures and other discontinuities. It has been

classified as moderately permeable.

Surface Water Features The closest watercourse is an unnamed

tributary of the Deerfin Burn and runs along

the north-western side of the installation

boundary. The Deerfin Burn has a ‘Fair’

Biological classification and a ‘Fairly Good’

chemical classification.

Ecological Receptors No ecologically sensitive areas within 500m of

the site.

Summary of Receptors (Pathways) Land (spills and leaks to ground);

Locally important aquifer (leaching from soils,

and percolation through permeable ground);

Unnamed tributary of the Deerfin Burn and the

undesignated stream/drain to the North-west of

the site (site drainage and groundwater flow).

Activities Identified with

Reasonable Possibility of Future

Pollution Occurring

Storage of milk;

Delivery of diesel;

Storage of waste oil;

Potential leakage from effluent drainage

systems.

Potential spillage into storm drains

Land Pollution History & Main

Pollution Incidents

Agricultural use:

Industrial estate construction; and

Redundant oil storage area.

Contamination Identified in

Previous Investigations

Ground analysis was carried out in 2009

during the construction of the blow moulding

facility and in 2010 for the construction of the

distribution depot, no contamination identified

3.6 Uncertainties and Assumptions in CSM

The following uncertainties and assumptions are implicit in the CSM described:

• Thickness and composition of Made Ground and Boulder Clay across the site is not

known in the absence of intrusive investigation data;

• The depth to groundwater is not known;

• Site personnel report that there have been no known pollution incidents but it is

possible that other incidents have occurred since the current factory existed; and

Page 9 of 17

• Pollution incidents may have occurred from before the current factory existed

4.0 Monitoring Programme

4.1 Objectives of the Monitoring Programme

The objectives of the monitoring program are to demonstrate that the pollution prevention

measures will be inspected and maintained over the lifetime of the permit in such a way that

future pollution to land is not caused by installation activities

4.1.1 Objectives of Environmental Monitoring Programme

The requirement for an ongoing monitoring program will be assessed using the results of the

updated CSM in relation to any site works or site ground investigation. The monitoring

program will determine the effectiveness of the pollution control infrastructure and

containment measures and will assist in determining potential emissions.. The program will

allow for the determination and indication of potential pollutants within the site and provide

details on long term changes in ground conditions

4.1.2 Objectives of Infrastructure Monitoring Programme

To test the integrity of the pollution infrastructure currently in place and evaluate the

monitoring, inspection and testing program in place.

4.2.4 Soil Monitoring

Soil samples will be taken from site works on the zoned areas as and when site works are

undertaken eg for infrastructure improvements

Should soil monitoring be required other than after a spillage or pollution incident then

samples will be analysed typically for the following

• Total petroleum hydrocarbons

• Heavy fuel oil, diesel range organics

• PAH, PTE’s and nitrogen compounds

• TN, NO3, NH4 and pH

These will form the base data for the site. The sampling protocol is detailed in appendix B

and analytical Techniques in Appendix C

Chemical bunds Various areas around the site as identified in the ASR,

these will be checked monthly

Milk storage Milk is stored in 10 external tanks, 5 raw milk and

5processed milk. The tanks are visually inspected prior to

filling, all tanks have high level alarms and are checked

annually

Waste oil storage The waste oil storage is located in the oil store and is on

hard standing, the tank is manually filled and inspected on

a monthly basis


Personnel responsible for the inspection, testing and maintenance of pollution prevention

infrastructure are to be trained to an appropriate level to ensure compliance with the

Infrastructure Monitoring Programme. Roles and responsibilities for undertaking the

Programme (including reporting) and ensuring adequate competence of staff are shown in

Appendix E2.


4.5.1 Assessment Procedure

Checklists for the inspection and recording of fixed bunds, hard surfacing in relevant areas

and maintenance will be kept on site. The inspections will be primarily visual to identify any

signs of corrosion, cracks or other damage. Should any damage be identified that could affect

the integrity of the bunds this will be checked through water testing. Damaged hard standing

will be sealed and repaired.

The effluent drainage system will be visually checked every 3 mts to ensure manholes are

clear and free flowing. The system will be maintained in good working order. Manual

inspection of the storm drains will be made every month. Any suspected leaks would be

investigated and remedial action taken as necessary. The site drainage plan will be

maintained and any changes made to the drainage system incorporated.

1 AUTHORITY On the instructions of Consulting Engineers, Albert Fry Associates (“the Client‟s Representative”), on behalf of Dale Farm (“the Client”), a ground investigation was undertaken at the above location to provide geotechnical and environmental information the site. This report details the work carried out both on site and in the geotechnical and chemical testing laboratories; it contains a description of the site and the works undertaken, the exploratory hole logs and the laboratory test results. A discussion on the recommendation for construction is also provided. All information given in this report is based upon the ground conditions encountered during the site investigation works, and on the results of the laboratory and field tests performed. However, there may be conditions at the site that have not been taken into account, such as unpredictable soil strata, contaminant concentrations, and water conditions between or below exploratory holes. It should be noted that groundwater levels usually vary due to seasonal and/or other effects and may at times differ to those measured during the investigation. This report was prepared by Causeway Geotech Ltd for the use of the Client and the Client‟s Representative in response to particular instructions. Any other parties using the information contained in this report do so at their own risk and any duty of care to those parties is excluded.

2 SCOPE The extent of the investigation, as instructed by the Client‟s Representative, included boreholes, soil sampling, in-situ and laboratory testing, and the preparation of a report on the findings including recommendations for construction.

3 DESCRIPTION OF SITE As shown on the site location plan in Appendix A, the works were conducted on the site at Dale Farm‟s existing plant at Pennybridge Industrial Estate in Ballymena.

4 SITE OPERATIONS The Site Operations, conducted on 8th September 2014, comprised: four percussion boreholes;

The exploratory holes and insitu tests were located as instructed by the Client‟s Representative, as shown on the exploratory hole location plan in Appendix A.


Report No.: 14-742

October 2014 Page 5

4.1 Boreholes Four boreholes (BH01 – BH04) were put down in 150mm diameter using Dando Terrier percussion boring rig. BH01, BH03 and BH04 were down through Made Ground varying between 0.6m and 2.5m in thickness. All four boreholes terminated in very stiff glacial till. Disturbed (small and bulk bag) samples and environmental samples were taken within the encountered strata. Standard penetration tests were carried out at 1m depth intervals using the split spoon sampler (SPT). The penetrations are stated for those tests for which the full 150mm seating drive or 300mm test drive was not possible. The N-values provided on the borehole logs are uncorrected and no allowance has been made for energy ratio corrections. Any water strikes encountered during boring were recorded along with any changes in their levels as the borehole proceeded. Appendix B presents the borehole logs. The SPT hammer energy measurement report is provided in Appendix D. Details of the SPT hammer used is provided on the individual borehole logs.

5 LABORATORY WORK Upon their receipt in the laboratory, all disturbed samples were carefully examined and accurately described and their descriptions incorporated into the borehole logs. Laboratory testing of soils comprised: Moisture content Atterberg Limit Particle size distribution analysis. pH and water soluble sulphate content. In addition, environmental screening and WAC testing was conducted on selected environmental samples by Chemtest at its laboratory in Newmarket, Suffolk. The test results are presented in Appendix C.


Report No.: 14-742

October 2014 Page 6

6 GROUND CONDITIONS The exploratory holes encountered the following ground types: Made Ground: identified in boreholes BH01, BH03 & BH04 to depths ranging from 0.60m to

2.50m, generally comprised of reworked Glacial Till (boulder Clay) Glacial Till: as soft to firm becoming very stiff sandy gravelly clay or silt with low cobble and

boulder content to 3.3m in BH03.

6.1 Groundwater Groundwater was not encountered, during exploration.

7 DISCUSSION

7.1 Proposed construction No construction details were available to Causeway Geotech Ltd when preparing this Report.

7.2 Recommendations for construction

7.2.1 Foundations and ground floor construction Foundations should transfer loading to below Made Ground. The recommended foundation construction and allowable bearing pressure (ABP) at the four borehole locations are as follows: Table 1: Construction recommendations

Report No.: 14-742

October 2014 Page 7

The depth of Made Ground across the site indicates the use of strip and pad or deep trench foundations are recommended along with suspended floors.

7.2.2 Soil aggressivity An assessment of the Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete (ACEC) was undertaken through reference to the Building Research Establishment (BRE) Special Digest 1 (2005). As noted by BRE Special Digest 1, sulphates in the soil and groundwater are the chemical agents most likely to attack concrete. The extent to which sulphates affect concrete is linked to their concentrations, the type of ground, the presence of groundwater, the type of concrete and the form of construction in which concrete is used. BRE Special Digest 1 identifies four different categories of site which require specific procedures for investigation for aggressive ground conditions:

Sites not subjected to previous development and not perceived as containing pyrite; Sites not subjected to previous development and perceived as containing pyrite; Brownfield sites not perceived as containing pyrite; Brownfield sites perceived as containing pyrite.

For the purposes of this report the site was classified as having been subject to previous development and not perceived as containing pyrite. The results of chemical tests (pH and water soluble sulphate contents) on soil samples indicate Design Sulphate Class DS-1 and ACEC Class AC-1 – reference Table C2 of BRE Special Digest 1 (Building Research Establishment, 2005). The Special Digest does not require any measures to protect underground concrete elements greater that 140mm thick.

7.2.3 Waste disposal

Four samples were sent for Environmental Screening and Two samples were analysed for WAC analysis, the results of which are presented in Appendix E. Considering the results for the two samples analysed the soils on site may be disposed of as non-hazardous waste subject to the receiving landfill permitting the material on receipt of the laboratory results.

Soil quality Selected soil samples were analysed for a range of potential contaminants including: Metals; Speciated total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH); Speciated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH); and Cyanide.


Report No.: 14-742

October 2014 Page 8

In the initial examination of the potential risk of site contamination, the laboratory results have been compared to the following available assessment criteria relevant to the proposed land use: the Environment Agency Soil Guideline Values (SGVs) published, in 2009. These relate to

arsenic, nickel, mercury, selenium, cadmium, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and phenol.

The results from the selected samples do not identify significantly elevated concentrations for the compounds analysed considering a commercial redevelopment. It should be noted that the above assessment is based on the results of the selected soil samples and available SGVs. Any potential contamination identified during site development by visual or olfactory means should be further investigated, including additional laboratory testing, and appropriate health & safety, waste disposal and remediation measures adopted. Where site levels are to be reduced as part of development work the soil chemistry results indicate the material is likely to be considered non-hazardous waste n. It is recommended that the results of this report are presented to the landfill operator prior to disposal to ensure they are informed of the potential waste classification enabling them to remain in compliance with their relevant permits.

These descriptions are only intended to act as a cross check if sample identities are questioned, and to provide a log of

sample matrices with respect to MCERTS validation. They are not intended as full geological descriptions.

We are accredited to MCERTS for sand, clay and loam/topsoil, or any of these materials - whether these are derived from

naturally ocurring soil profiles, or from fill/made ground, as long as these materials constitute the major part of the sample.

Other coarse granular materials such as concrete, gravel and brick are not accredited if they comprise the major part of the

sample.
