SOP Ash Storage Area Operational Plan

Standard Operating Procedure Date: 2/4/09 Approved: PJA

Introduction The Ash Storage Area is located in a naturally occurring depression within Moneypoint site. It covers approximately 25 hectares and is separated from the main area of the station site by the N67 Kilrush – Killimer road. Access from the main site is via an internal roadway, which passes under the N67. The floor slopes from east to west and the general lie of the land falls from north to south. The floor is at an elevation of +2.0m OD with shoulders rising to an elevation of +20.0m OD. Man-made embankments of rockfill faced with 200mm of glacial till were constructed on the north-east and south-west sides to a finished level of +10.5m OD. The remaining perimeter is enclosed by the natural slope of the ground.

Site Management and Responsibility. The Bulk Materials Operations Manager is responsible for activities in the Ash Storage Area. Day to day operations are controlled by a foreman reporting to the Bulk Materials Operations Supervisor who reports to the Bulk Materials Operations Manager.

Operation.

Operational Principles

Moneypoint operates an Environmental Management System certified to ISO14001. The management of the environmental aspects of the complete Moneypoint site including the Ash Storage Area complies with this EMS. As part of the Environmental Management Programme objectives and targets are set to deal with all potential emissions from Moneypoint Site including the Ash Storage Area. The guiding principle in operation of the Ash Storage Area is to deposit ash with due care to safety and the environment in compliance with all relevant regulations. Should there be a breach of this principle, (e.g. fugitive emissions being generated) depositing of ash will be halted and an immediate investigation will be carried out.

Operational Procedures

General

Under no circumstances can excessive lift off of ash dust or contamination of the river by ash dust be tolerated. If either is detected, then offending operations must be shut down until the problem can be rectified or contained.

No material or liquid other than ash or ash slurry is to be deposited in the station’s ash area, except for grass or seaweed. Grass and seaweed can be placed in the designated compost area. Sewage sludge can be spread on the re-seeded area of the storage area as agreed with Clare Co. Council.

ASH STORAGE AREA:

The ASA must be worked in such a manner so as to prevent any dust lift off, with sufficient means of dust suppression employed at all times required.

All ash dumping in the ASA must have prior approval from the _ìäâ= j~íÉêá~äë=léÉê~íáçåë=Supervisor.

The _ìäâ= j~íÉêá~äë= léÉê~íáçåë= Supervisor will clearly designate to the relevant foreman / supervisor the location to be used for each ash dumping operation, and may stipulate whether additional water sprays will be required.

Only areas that are sign posted and maintained for dumping of ash should be used.

No dumping of ash should take place outside of the designated areas

All quantities of ash stored in the ASA must be recorded. Where disposal is carried out by sections other than _ìäâ=j~íÉêá~äë=léÉê~íáçåë, then a completed certificate of disposal must be forwarded by the relevant Supervisor to the _ìäâ= j~íÉêá~äë=léÉê~íáçåë=supervisor as stipulated by the Environmental Waste Regulations.

_ìäâ= j~íÉêá~äë= léÉê~íáçåë= section will layer each completed area with topsoil and arrange for that area to be reseeded when final layer is layed, as directed by _ìäâ=

j~íÉêá~äë=léÉê~íáçåë=Manager.

During dry spells, ash haul roads must be kept damped down in order to prevent lift off of dust. If means of carrying this out are not available, (e.g. Automatic Dust Suppression System, GSS water bowers), then all ash disposal operations must cease.

Waste Analysis. Waste that is disposed of in the Ash Storage Area consists of the following:

� Ash including boiler washings. � Seaweed removed from band screens at the cooling water pump house. � Grass cuttings arising from maintenance of station lands.

All other waste is removed off site for disposal.

Ash comprises furnace bottom ash (FBA) and pulverised fuel ash (PFA). Of the total ash arising from the combustion of coal, approximately 15% is FBA. For operational purposes the elemental ash constituents are determined from the load port analysis of the coal delivered to Moneypoint. The seaweed and grass cuttings deposited are not analysed. Details of the frequency and parameters of Moneypoint's waste analysis of its PFA and FBA are given in Schedule 3(iii) of the IPCL.

Waste Handling, Placement and Sequencing. The method of waste handling is dependent on the waste stream. The following waste streams apply: Pulverised Fuel Ash Furnace bottom ash Seaweed / Grass cuttings =

Pulverised Fuel Ash Ash is taken from the silos in trucks to the Ash Storage Area. While loading the trucks the ash is mixed with approx 15% water to prevent fugitive emissions. The ash is deposited in the active area of the ash storage area. This area is sign-posted. Here it is compacted using dozing equipment. Moisture, as required, is sprayed (or from rainfall) to again prevent fugitive emissions. Ash is deposited in layers approximately 2 metres in depth. Undisturbed areas, once wetted, form crusts preventing fugitive emissions. These areas are occasionally wetted to ensure the integrity of the crusts formed. Once a layer has been completed it is covered with topsoil to prevent ash lift-off in the longer term. Prior to the next layer being applied the topsoil is reclaimed for reapplication when that layer is completed. Ash deposition originated at the eastern side of the Ash Storage Area and moved westward. An area to the west end is being retained at a low level to allow for ash deposition in adverse conditions. Pulverised fuel ash is also sold to other industries for various uses. All ash disposed of by this means is taken off site in sealed container trucks. =

Furnace Bottom Ash (FBA) FBA is a clinker type ash with irregular clinkers to 50mm maximum size. An ash/water mixture containing the FBA is conveyed from the base of each boiler to one of three 500t capacity dewatering bins. Excess water is detrained from the ash in these bins until it is approx. 15% water. The ash is transported to the ash storage as per the pulverised fuel ash. A segregated area of the ash storage area is used to store furnace bottom ash. There is potential to recycle this type of ash in the future and therefore it is kept separate to facilitate its separate recovery. Small quantities of FBA are removed from site for use in community projects and amenities e.g. by Duchas. This ash is removed in covered open back trucks or in dumper trailers attached to tractors .

Seaweeds and Grass Cuttings A separate area of the ash storage area is set aside as a compost area. The seaweeds and grass cutting waste streams are disposed of in this area.

Dust Control. Dust is controlled in the ash storage area by: � Conditioning of the ash on exit from the silos. � Wetting of the active ash storage areas by

� Water bowser, or � Mobile dust suppression reels, or � Fixed spray heads, or � Natural Precipitation

The mobile dust suppression reels can be transported to any section of the ASA. These are fed from various landing valves and once set up, automatically cover a fixed path with suppressant water sprays. Temporary dust suppressant pipe work is available that can be connected into the permanent ring main and laid out to provide short-term suppressant cover for the area of the ASA currently being worked. This system is usually employed during prolonged periods of adverse weather conditions. Additional water bowsers are also available on site for use with the ash handling machinery during adverse weather conditions. All of the dust suppressant water is fed to the ring main / canons and landing valves from a pump house within the ASA. The pumphouse draws water from a naturally occurring lagoon on site. Inflows to the lagoon come from an off site stream and surface water run off. Once an area is completed it is covered with topsoil for long-term dust control. Historical results from dust monitoring are well below the value of 100-150mg/m2/day that is commonly used for setting limit values at the boundary fence for licensing of quarrying and mining activities. The annual monthly average is under 50 mg/m2/day

Surface Water Management and Protection. All surface water drains to one of two central locations, i.e. the "lagoon" at the east end of the ash storage area or the discharge point (SW1). All waters (other than that used for dust suppression) collected in the lagoon are piped under the ash storage area to SW1. Open field drains within the area were piped. Rainfall occurring inside the bunded area, together with any non-evaporated sprinkler water that is used for dust suppression, percolates through the consolidated ash layers to the system of inter-linked land drains. These drains are connected to a collection chamber, where the run-off water and any leachate are mixed with the culverted stream discharge in a mixing chamber prior to discharge to the estuary. The deposited ash is compacted and it can form a cementitous layer on the surface, resulting in very low infiltration. The high gradients within the operational area also

contribute to low infiltration. Ecological surveys carried out in advance of, and following completion of the power station development indicate that the discharge from the Ash Storage Area has no environmental impact on receiving waters.

Groundwater Management and Protection. A collection system operates to minimise leachate infiltration to the general groundwater. Results of previous analysis on the Ash Storage Area effluent indicate that the effluent is non-toxic, with Tu values of less than 3.1.

Leachate Management and Protection. Leachate that does arise is collected in a series of land drains that are directed to a holding chamber (settling tank) through a low-level pipe protected by a penstock. From the holding chamber the leachate enters a mixing chamber via a penstock. Within the chamber, leachate is mixed with water from part of the flow of the stream at the northern site boundary. The discharge to the foreshore is via three pipes.

Development Programme. Storage of ash commenced in 1985 and the filling operation started at the northeast corner. Storage was implemented initially by placing alternate layers of PFA and FBA with different thickness. Current practice is to store PFA and FBA in separate areas with a view to future retrieval of the FBA for recycling. There are three identifiable separate phases of activity, as follows: Phase 1

• Carry out maintenance on existing drains where they are adequate or construct new ones.

• Remove peat for later use as part of surface seeding.

• Place base layer of ash to a depth of approximately 2m.

• The above are carried out during fine weather 6/12 months ahead of requirements.

• Prepare dust suppression systems. Phase 2.

• Prepare next active area by the following:

• Preparation of access roads.

• Removal of soft spots or their repair.

• Preparation of surface drainage.

• Place ash in layers over the base layer up to finished level. Phase 3.

• Grade surface area.

• Place soil / peat.

• Prepare for grass seeding.

• Isolate from general use.

• Maintain surface drainage. The attached diagram shows a proposed final topology that has been developed to blend in with the surroundings. It illustrates a number of criteria used, i.e.:

• Gradual rise from westerly embankment,

• Prevention of any visual obstruction of Ballymacrinnan bay when travelling west on N67, and

• Topography designed to blend in with surroundings.

=

Also shown in the diagram are the locations for three windmills that have received planning permission approval as part of a larger windfarm development on Moneypoint Site.

Landscaping / Screening The Ash Storage Area is restored to grass as sections within it reach their final level. This reduces the possibility of wind erosion of the consolidated ash. It also improves the visual appearance by blending in with the background vegetation.

Restoration Final landscaping proposals have been prepared which break the area into patterns of irregular "fields" to further blend the area with its surroundings.

Aftercare management No significant aftercare management is predicted. Aftercare will essentially consist of ongoing monitoring.

Operational Plant Fuels and oils management All operational fuels and oils are stored in bunded areas within the station site. A mobile van fills heavy operational plant as required.

Site Security There are two access routes to the site. The active entrance to the site is from within Moneypoint site. Moneypoint site is fenced about its perimeter with access through a single main entrance that is manned on a 24-hour basis. There is another unused entrance direct to the N67. A permanently locked gate secures this entrance.

Environmental Monitoring Programme (References to schedules in the following refer to schedules of Moneypoint's IPCL). This operational plan details how Moneypoint intends to minimise the environmental impact of the Ash Storage Area. Our monitoring program will help identify the effectiveness of the plan in achieving its aims. The monitoring program covers surface water, groundwater, leachate, ash analysis and volume, and dust emissions. Analysis of ash deposited will be monitored as per schedule 3(iii). Surface water discharge monitoring at SW1 will follow schedule 4(i). The range of metals to be sampled at SW1 includes barium, boron, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, lead, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, tin and zinc. Groundwater will be monitored as per schedule 4(ii) at monitoring wells BH1 to BH6 (refer schedule 9.2.2.). The procedures followed to comply with the monitoring program are detailed in EMS 8 of Moneypoint's Environmental Management System. No specific monitoring of voids or landfill stability are required in the ash storage area. Ash levels are monitored annually. Meteorological reference data will be taken from reference data for Shannon.

Adverse Conditions Operation of the Ash Storage Area during adverse conditions is governed by the operational principles already described. If fugitive emissions are suspected ash deposition is halted. During periods of very high winds and dry conditions the potential for fugitive emissions increases. An area has been retained within the site that is in a hollow for use during particular adverse conditions. Silo and hopper storage exists for approximately 2 to 3 days of ash production. This storage can be used if required.

Status Report An annual status report as defined in schedule 3(iv) of Moneypoint's IPCL will be issued. Moneypoint considers all areas as active at present because as detailed earlier ash is deposited in layers. Stability checks are not considered necessary due to the cementitious nature of PFA.
