1.2 Summary Data Table
Current IE Licence annual reporting requires the submission of summary monitoring, resource use, complaints and waste management information in the form of a spreadsheet, which is transmitted to the Agency electronically. A print out of this summary data spreadsheet is included as Attachment A to this AER. The spreadsheet has been submitted electronically to the EPA at http://aer.epa.ie/prtr
1.3 Company Profile
Dawn Charleville is a subsidiary of the Dawn Meats Food Group and was acquired in January 2004 from the Dairygold Co-Operative Society Ltd. The company was founded in the 1930s by the Ryan family and has undergone major investment particularly in recent years. This has included the addition of a new Boning Hall complex, Slaughter line and product chills. The company now has the capacity to slaughter and process 2000 cattle per week in one of the most modern and progressive beef plants in the country. This places Dawn Charleville in a commanding position to be able to service customer requirements with top quality Irish beef sourced from farmers in the surrounding hinterland. With a strong export orientated customer base in the UK, Europe, Scandinavia and the Middle East, Charleville Foods is well placed to meet future market demands. Other facilities include beef plants, which are located at, Ballyhaunis, Rathdowney, Grannagh, Carroll’s Cross. We also have beef processing facilities in the UK and on the Continent The primary environmental emissions at the plant relate to the discharge of treated wastewater and the generation of organic waste as sludge, which is land spread. The environmental performance of the facility is regulated under an IE licence (Reg. No. P0173-02). Environmental management at the site, including compliance with the IE licence, is achieved through a structured Environmental Management System (EMS).

below).
Dawn Meats Charleville January 2017 Annual Environmental Report 2016
11 IE Licence Reg. No. P0173-02
Tallow consumption has increased from 2015 to 2016. This accounts
somewhat for the decrease in oil usage (fossil fuel).
Electricity usage has increased slightly; this can be attributed to the increased
in production for 2016.

2.3 Management Programme and objectives and targets – Summary
Dawn Charleville Environmental Management Programme and Objectives and Targets are committed to ensuring a significant effort and more attention is paid to improvements in efficiency at the plant, in terms of energy consumption, water use and waste generation. The focus of the 2017 EMP will be largely in these areas, using the EMP as a management tool for planning and tracking the implementation of projects on site which lead to the overall achievement of the Dawn Group Environmental Policy, while ensuring compliance with the IE license remains a high priority. A number of long-term on-going programmes initiated at the site will continue on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with the conditions of the IE licence and the site environmental management system.

3.1 Details of Non-Compliance’s
There were no non-compliant samples recorded during the 2016 monitoring period, giving an overall percentage compliance rate of 100%.
4.0 Surface Water Monitoring Summary
Surface water runoff collected from clean yard and roof area discharges by gravity to the
stream at Emission Point Ref’s SW- 2 and SW-3. This stream discharges to the Shruhaveballiv
stream, at a point downstream from Dawn Charleville.
Analysis is carried out on a monthly basis for pH, Total Ammonia, BOD, Total Nitrogen and
conductivity. Also a visual inspection is carried out three times per day.

Figure 7: Comparison of SRM waste
The increase in waste produced above can be attributed to the increase in numbers of animals slaughtered in 2016 in comparison to 2015. Domestic waste has reduced which can be attributed to increase in the level of plastic and cardboard recycled.

6.1 Organic Waste Management
Organic waste at the facility arises from the treatment of process wastewater and from the
storage of paunch material of slaughtered animals.
Liquid effluents from the processing and washing operations drain to an on-site wastewater
treatment plant. The plant is a biological treatment (activated sludge) system. Settled solids
from the treatment plant are dewatered on a belt press, with the excess water returned to
the treatment plant.
Paunch contents are stored in an on-site paunch holding area. The material is spread on
approved land banks during the year.
This Organic waste is land spread in accordance with a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP).
The quantity of organic waste arising for the calendar year 2015 and 2016 is tabulated on
Table 11.

10.0 Pollution Emissions Register
A PER report is not generated as agreed with the Agency as the site does not use substances
which would require a PER.
11.0 Environmental Liabilities Risk Assessment
A Closure Plan and Environmental Liabilities Risk Assessment are currently being prepared for
Dawn Charleville.
Dawn Charleville will ensure there is adequate financial provision and insurance cover to
address any potential environmental liabilities, and decommission the site in the event of an
unforeseen closure.
The facility has an Environmental Management Programme (EMP) in place. The EMP serves
as a guidance document for facility staff and describes operational control and management
practices that are applied at the facility. The EMP is also the core element of the
Environmental Management System (EMS) for the facility and is designed to ensure that
management of site activities complies with regulatory requirements and best practice. The
EMS includes a detailed Emergency Response Procedure which sets out the steps to be taken
in the event of an incident at the facility with the potential to cause environmental damage.
In addition to the above mentioned Dawn Charleville implements a comprehensive
monitoring programme which will highlight any potential environmental incidents with the
potential to cause environmental damage.
A full copy of the report will be issued to the Environmental Protection Agency under a
separate report.
