Reg No:-P0815-01

Provide clarification in relation to the cause of elevated emissions of suspended solids, phosphate and nitrate in 2005;

A) Suspended Solids

This plant was originally engineered and designed to operate with tertiary sand filters in line. The practice of using sand filters did not operate as per performance criteria and often resulted in elevated concentrations of suspended solids in the effluent. In order to comply with discharge licence conditions set out in licence number 3/02 Town of Monaghan Co-op initiated a program of assessment and investigation to determine the best available technology for treatment of such effluent. A constructed wetland was installed and developed in 2005. This system was commissioned in 2005 and has had a significant and immediate effect on the quality of effluent in relation to suspended solids.

B) Phosphate

Town of Monaghan Co-op was experiencing difficulties of reachmg the required limits on the effluent with respect to Phosphorous. An investigation determined that the dosing pump was undersized for the volume of effluent produced and the quantities of chemical required for adequate treatment. As result of recommendations made, the dosing pump was replaced with a higher capacity system (from 6 l/hr - 15 l/hr) which allows for better control and management of effluent.

C) Nitrate

Concentrations of Nitrate have been determined to exceed licence requirements on a number of occasions during 2006. Much work has been done in the past at the installation to successfhlly reduce the concentrations of BOD, Phosphate, Ammonia and Suspended solids. Investigations have begun into the root cause and options available in order to reduce nitrate concentrations in the effluent to within licensed requirements. The results of this investigation and mitigation measures will be forwarded to the agency in due course. The current course of action is to:

1. Assess possibility of introducing an anoxic zone into the oxidation ditch 2. Assess possibility of introducing an anoxic zone into the Constructed Wetland.

The presence of an anoxic zone will aid with denitrification and reduce the concentration of nitrate in the discharge waters.

11.3 Constructed Wetlands

The constructed wetlands were installed and commissioned at the Co-op in 2005. This was carried out in consultation with EMS Consulting Ltd, Town of Monaghan Co-op and Monaghan County Council - Environmental Department to comply with condition l(b) of the discharge licence (No 3/02).

The development consists of 2 constructed wetlands (CW) cells, each measuring 37.5 long by 25m wide. The cells are of Free Water Design incorporating phragmites australis (common reed) plants at 1.5m centres with a maximum water depth of 0.2m at the inlet end and 0.338m at the outlet. The volume of water in each cell is approximately 120 m3, giving a total volume of 240m3.

An initial onsite characterisation study was carried out for the CW system to establish the water table level and ascertain the permeability characteristics of the soil. The upper layers are topsoil and sandy loam material, with a T-value of 12 - 33. The lower layers consisting of clay loam have a T value in excess of 60. It was concluded that the effects on groundwater would be negligible.

The CW cells have a very minor visual impact. The reeds inside the cells have grown to -2m tall and present somewhat of a natural feature. The system does not have any significant impact as regards odour. The effluent discharge to the cells has already been treated to a high standard therefore reducing potential risk.

Commissioning of the plant took place during July/ August 2005. There was an instant improvement in the quality of effluent been discharged as is noticeable from the 2005 discharge data submitted to the agency in the original application.

Assimilative Capacity of River Blackwater

1.0 Introduction

AXIS environmental services were commissioned by Town of Monaghan CO-@ to carry out an environmental assessment of the River Blackwater for the purposes of assimilating treated effluent. This assimilative capacity was being assessed as part of an IPPC Application.

There are currently 2 main discharges to the River Blackwater from operations at Town of Monaghan Co- Op. These have been summarised in the licence application as follows:

SW5 Final Effluent SW2 Storm and Condensate Water

Other minor discharge points have been listed as follows:

SW1 Storm Water SW3 Storm Water SW4 Storm Water SW6 Storm Water & Uncontaminated cooling water

Cooling water is abstracted from the groundwater wells located on site. The water is used in a closed system at the Mona plant, therefore not coming in contact with any process materials. Cooling water is collected in a holding tank at the Mona factory where some is recycled in the cooling system. Overflow from this tank is diverted to the surface water system and discharged to the river Blackwater at point SW6.

Investigations were carried out to obtain historical information form the Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Public Works and the Regional Fishery Board with regard to water quality of the Blackwater. This river has been surveyed and monitored by both Monahan CO CO and the EPA over the last number of years.

2.0 Methodology

In the preparation of Water Quality Management Plans in Ireland, use has been made of the Dry Weather Flow (DWF) which has been defined as the annual minimal daily mean flow rate with a return period of 50 years. Using this definition, it can be seen that the DWF is a statistical measure of low flow and usually requires reliable long term low flow data. Specific runoff, ie DWF per unit area can be stated for a particular location but there is no basis for a generalised rule of thumb for estimating dry weather flow.

Historical hydrometric data pertaining to flow rates has been collated for this River at Faulkland and Milltown Bridge, downstream and upstream of the Co-op respectively. The EPA has an on line meter continuously recording flow rates in the waterbody. From historical flow data the EPA have calculated the low flow rate in this river at 0.03 m’lsecond. This corresponds to a 95 percentile dry weather flow rate of 0.05 m3lsec (or -4,320 m’lday).

3.0 SI 258 of 1998

The following information summarises details in legislation pertaining to the Phosphorous Regulations:

(2) Where the quality standards specified in Columns 2 and 3 of Part 1 of the Third schedule provide for a higher standard than the existing biological quality rating for any part of a river, water quality shall be improved so as to meet the relevant specified standard.

(4) Subject to sub-article (9), the requirements of sub-article (2) shall be met-

(a) by the 31st day of December, 2007, for any part of a river with an existing biological quality rating based on monitoring carried out during the period commencing on the 1st day of 1995 and ending on the last day of 1997, and (b) in the case of any part of a river other than that referred to in paragraph (a), not later than ten years after the Agency first assigns the biological quality rating for the part of the river concemed based on monitoring camed out after 1997

9) The period specified in sub-articles (4) and (8) for compliance with the quality standards may be extended for a period not exceeding 6 years for any part of a river or lake, if, but only if, the relevant local authority or, as the case may be, the Agency is satisfied that one or more of the following circumstances exist in relation to such part of the river or lake concemed-

(a) water quality is severely affected by human activity making compliance with the quality standards, within the period specified in sub-articles (4) or (8), impractical or entailing excessive costs in attempting to do so, or

(b) at least the best available technology not entailing excessive costs is being used to treat any direct discharge or emission affecting the quality of the relevant part of the river or lake, or

c) such steps as may be appropriate are being pursued by the local authority under the Principal Act or by the Agency under the Act of 1992 in respect of other sources of pollution for the purpose of seeking to comply with the quality standards.

Monaghan County Council does not have River Management Plans in the county. River Basin District Management Plans are being developed by Consultants under a steering Group and Donegal County Council are overseeing this project for the region. The interim target for the upper Faukland Br site is 3, with a corresponding Ortho-phosphorous limit to be applied as taken from the regulation; 0.070 ug/L.

Total Oxidised Nitrogen Results have been used for the purpose of calculation (table 3) Note 4: Nitrate Limit in Drinking water is 11.3 mg/L as N. The CEC (Council of the European Communities) additionally recommend a lower limit of 5.65 mg/L as N. Note 5: Reference made to the EPA Document “Parameters of Water Quality Interpretation and Standards”. The table in Appendix 3 proposed concentrations of Total Ammonia at certain pH and temperature that would contain 0.02 mg/L as NH3 of unionized ammonia. Using average background concentrations of temperature 10°C and 7.9 pH units, the factor to be applied would be 1 : 55 (1.1 mg/L Total Ammonia contains approximately 0.02 m g L as NH3 of unionized Ammonia). By this method, the average background concentration of Ammonia in the Blackwater (0.07 mg/L as N), would consist of approximately 0.001 mg/L as NH, of un-ionised ammonia. Note 6: The 95 percentile dry weather flow rate has been taken from the nearest monitoring station on the River Blackwater at Faulkland Bridge Upper (Station 0650) and volumes of water been discharged in effluent and condensate, Note 7: Monaghan CO CO have set a target Q rating of 4 3 for Faulkland Bridge.

Assimilative Capacity of River Blackwater

7.0 Discussion of Impacts

7.1 Receiving Water

Town of Monaghan Co-op discharges its effluent, condensate, cooling and storms waters to the River Blackwater. This river was determined as Class B Slightly Polluted upstream of the Co-op. The monitoring station upstream (0510) near Milltown Bridge was determined to have a Q rating of 3-4 in 1996. The most recent biological monitoring was camed out in 2004 at this station which indicates there has not been any significant deterioration of water quality since. The background concentration of pollutants has been relatively low, with an average background BOD of 2.2 mg/L and Ortho-P of 0.04 mg/L as P.

The Faulkland Bridge Upper was the closest flow monitoring station (0650) to the Co-op. This station has been in operation since March 1975. The dry weather flow determined at this station over the period was 0.03 m3/second. The EPA has calculated a 9Sfi percentile flow rate of 0.05 m3/second for the river over the period. Water quality at this point was determined as moderately polluted (42-3) in 1996. The water quality target set for this station by Monaghan CO CO was 43 with a corresponding ortho-p concentration of 70 ug/L. The latest monitoring results for this station (2004) indicate that the quality of the river is improving with a 4 3 rating and median Ortho-P results of 70 U&.

7.2 Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)

The maximum volume of effluent to be discharged in any one day has been set at 820 m3, while condensate has been proposed at a limit of 300 m3/day. Table 5 has summarised the emission limit values requested for the IPPC licence. The corresponding tables E2(i) and (ii) have been included in the appendix of this report.

Town of Monaghan have a limit of 10 mg/L applied on effluent discharges. This is a realistic target which is attained on >99% of samples since commissioning the new constructed wetlands. This will result in worst case scenario of 8.2 kg of BOD been discharged to the river in one day. A BOD limit of 10 mg/L has also been requested for condensate waters, which would result in a loading of 3kg to the river per day based on maximum discharges. The combined loading from SW2 and SW5 would be 1 1.2 kg/day.

The river was assessed for assimilative capacity during both median and dry weather flow rates. Guidelines from the EPA indicate that a BOD concentration exceeding 1 mg/L outside the mixing zone would be considered significant. The assimilative capacity of the river during dry weather flow and median flow rates were determined at 10.9 and 407 kg/day respectively (using the maximum background BOD of 4 mg/L). There would be negligible effect on the river during median flow, however assuming both the wastewater treatment plant and condensate waters were discharging together at peak loads during a dry weather flow, the assimilative capacity of the river would be considered on the limit. It is for this purpose that there are irrigation lands surrounding the installation whereby wastewater may be sprayed onto land, thus receiving further treatment prior to discharging to the river (Condition 1( c ) of Discharge Licence 3/02).

7.3 Ortho-Phosphorous (OP)

Town of Monaghan Co-op have requested an emission limit value of 2 mg/l (1.64 kg/day) for Ortho- phosphate on the final effluent and 1 mg/L on the condensate waters (0.3 kg/day). The total load to the river assuming both discharges were at their peak would be 1.94 kg P/day. As the water quality targets for Faulkland Bridge Upper are to attain a 4 3 classification, the maximum Ortho-P concentration in the water should be no greater than 0.070 mg/L. Based on median monitoring results attained by Monaghan CO-CO for 2005, this target is on line to be achieved. The assimilative capacity of the river was determined at 0.18 1 and 6.8 kg/day for dry weather flow and median flow rates respectively. The river does not have the assimilation capacity to take peak discharges from both the effluent and condensate during dry weather flow and therefore effluent would be diverted to irrigation lands in periods of low flow.

Attachment 18.1 - Water Pollution Incident

Date o f Occurrence: 1 dh April 2000

Incident Summary: Cream Spillape from Silo No 4

Cause:

A new cream silo (No 4) was being commissioned as part of a refurbishment programme to Dairy and Butter operations. A number of parts were removed from the floor of the silo on Friday evening (07"' April) including:

1. Temperature sensor 2. Level Transmitter 3. Low Level Probe

Over the weekend the level transmitter was replaced but the other 2 parts were unavailable. As the work had not been complete the bungs or closures were not refitted to the bottom of the silo. On Monday afternoon, Silo No 4 was inadvertently selected to fill pasturised cream as the other 3 silos were already in use. As a result some of the cream was discharged through open sockets. Most of the cream was diverted to the wastewater treatment plant; however some cream made it into 2 storm drains at the dairy.

Actions:

The following actions were implemented on site to minimise discharges to the river:

1. Storm water drains were blocked off with sand to prevent cream/ contaminated water entering the river;

2. Spilled cream was mopped up and collected at the pumping stations; 3. Areas around Silo No 4 were washed down into the wastewater treatment system; 4. Residues were treated at the WWTP.

Impact:

Samples of water were taken during the incident at the plant, both upstream and downstream. There was an elevated BOD concentration (80 mg/L) determined in samples lifted at the N2 road bridge located -100 metres downstream of the surface water discharge point. The concentration of raw cream was determined at 5,380 m a , therefore there had been a dilution ratio of 1:67.

The river was monitored closely in subsequent days by both the Fisheries and Monaghan CO Co. There were no fish kills, signs of deleterious effect or adverse environmental impact on the river as result.

Licence No: PO815-01

Mitiaation :

The problem on site resulted from a lack of on-site communication during commissioning of a new plant. In order for this or similar incident be prevented in the future, the following measures were implemented at the installation:

Procedures were implemented whereby operators must obtain signed clearance from the Dairy staff before they commence filling a cream silo;

All surface water/ effluent drains and site contours were surveyed in the area to ensure any further spillage that may occur on site would be immediately directed to the onsite treatment plant;

It was recognised there was a management system failure. This resulted in the incorporation of an environmental management system on site which works closely with other departments to ensure all necessary communications are distributed to the relevant areas;

0 The effluent treatment plant was closely monitored over the following days to ensure the load would not cause effect on treatment efficiencies and effluent quality;
