2. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE ACTIVITY:
2.1 Company Profile:
Print & Display Limited operate a screen printing business which manufactures printed material for use
in advertising, e.g. posters, point of sale displays etc. The existing plant was established in 1988 in an
industrial unit on the Cookstown Industrial Estate. Approximately 45 people are employed at the plant
and most of the output is for the home market, however, a small proportion is for the export market.
2.2 Location and Environmental Conditions:
The Print & Display facility is subject to IPC licensing due to the fact that the company currently uses
‘coating materials in processes with a capacity to use at least 10 tonnes per year of organic solvent’.
Located within the industrial estate, the printing plant is situated a considerable distance from any
residential areas and the plant causes no known significant environmental impact.
The printing plant consists of a ground floor production area (1,880 m2) and first floor offices, canteen
and training area. Process effluents are discharged to the local authority sewer and prior to being
licensed under the IPC regime the Print & Display Ltd. plant was regulated by Dublin County
Council under a licence to discharge trade effluent.
Print & Display Ltd. was granted an IPC licence on 22 January 1997. Waste disposal, noise control,
atmospheric emissions and discharges of effluent and surface water run-off are all regulated by the
Company’s IPC licence.
There are no discharges made to ground and surface run-off is discharged to the local authority system.
All waste is disposed off-site and no on-site waste disposal or recovery is undertaken. The plant
discharges atmospheric emissions directly to air, however, the impact of these emissions is not
significant.

2.3 Printing Processes:
The Print & Display screen printing plant utilises manufacturing processes which have been designed to
apply ink to a variety of substrates including: paper, board and vinyl etc. These finished printed
materials are used in advertising e.g. point of sale displays, billboards etc. There are a number of
distinct processing stages involved in the production of the printed material. These steps can be
regarded as unit operations, as follows:
Design/Artwork
Graphic/Film Production
Preparation Process
Printing Process
Finishing and Dispatch
In screen printing, the screen with the required image (stencil) is loaded into the printing machine. All
of the P&D printing lines are either fully automatic or semi automatic. The material to be printed is
loaded into the feeder. The feeder then presents the material to the printing machine. In the printing
unit, ink is forced through the image area of the screen mesh and onto the material (substrate) by the
action of rubber squeegees. The substrate with the wet ink image then passes to the drying stage where
drying is achieved by either hot air or by UV light, depending on the ink system in use.
The final stage of printing involves stacking the dried prints on a pallet. After the screen has been used
in the printing machine, excess ink is removed and returned to the ink container. The used screen is
then returned to the Preparation Department for washing prior to being reused. Screen washing is
carried out in an automatic screen washing machine (Screen Washer).
Print and Display operate one of the most advanced screen printing plants in Ireland having installed a
five-colour and a four-colour automatic printing line along with a series of specialist digital machines.
In the state-of-the-art five-colour and a four-colour lines, the material to be printed is generally loaded
into the machine only once and passes through a series of printing units and driers. This once through
process has major advantages over conventional systems, where the material to be printed is loaded into
the machine repeatedly for the application of one ink colour at a time.
Print and Display also operate digital printing machines which produce printed materials directly from
digital format. There is thus no screen preparation involved and no chemicals used in graphic
production with the new digital printing process. Raw material usage is therefore reduced and there
will be reductions in hazardous and packaging waste arising from the Preparation and Graphics
Departments.

2.4 Raw Materials and Principal Emissions: A wide range of raw materials are used in the various different stages of processing. The Graphics
Department previously used photographic fixer, developer and film, however, this activity has
effectively ceased for a number of years. The screen preparation process involves the use of screen
washing solutions, photoemulsion and screenfiller. Inks, display board and miscellaneous substrates
constitute the predominant raw materials which are used during printing. Other materials used in the
printing process include: paper, self-adhesive vinyl, plastics, and varnishes.
The Finishing and Dispatch Departments utilise a range of raw materials which include printed goods,
packaging materials, adhesive tapes, etc. The principal environmental emissions from the plant arise
from the use of screen washing chemicals and solvent based inks. These emissions are mainly organic
solvents which are evolved and discharged directly to atmosphere, via licensed emission points.
Process effluent from the Print & Display Ltd. facility arises primarily from the screen washing area.
This effluent is discharged to the foul sewer via an interceptor trap on the north-western side of the
Print & Display Ltd. site (Licensed Emission Point SE1).
There are no waste treatment facilities at the plant and no atmospheric abatement plant or effluent
treatment systems are warranted. On this basis, the plant is relatively simple to manage and Print &
Display Ltd. operates and maintains an Environmental Management System in line with the
requirements of the IPC licence.
There is currently one licensed atmospheric emission point which is active at the facility and one
licensed effluent discharge point. Details of the overall emissions are provided in Section 3 of this
report.

2.5 Overview of Environmental Developments:
During 1999 and 2000, a major development plan was implemented at the Print & Display facility in
response to the company’s commitment to reduce atmospheric emissions. Prior to 1999, the
principal emission from the Print & Display plant was the organic solvent which arose from the
drying of solvent based inks. One of the projects in the 1997/1998 Environmental Management
Programme involved the identification of means to reduce the atmospheric emissions arising from
solvent based inks. After evaluating a series of options, it was determined that raw material
substitution provided the optimum means of reducing atmospheric emissions.
Due to the incompatibility of solvent free inks with certain substrates which are used in the printing
process, raw material substitution could not proceed without major plant modifications. After
extensive research, it was determined that the only viable option was to replace and/or upgrade the
entire printing plant to make it compatible with UV ink usage. In conjunction with this a number of
ancillary projects arose directly as a result of the raw material substitution programme.
During 1999 and 2000 the printing plant was effectively decommissioned and a new printing plant
was installed. A phased decommissioning/commissioning process ensured that production was
maintained while converting the printing plant to predominantly UV ink usage.
A huge commitment of resources was required in order to successfully implement the raw material
substitution programme and the successful implementation of this project has radically improved the
environmental performance of the facility. More recently a complete review of the screen-wash
operation in the plant was undertaken. The primary objective was to eliminate hazardous materials
and after extensive work, a series of trials was undertaken with replacement raw materials introduced
in 2003. This ensured that screens were cleaned with a less hazardous raw material and the
emissions arising from the process were reduced.
During 2003 a new digital printing line (Press Jet) was planned and commissioning work proceeded
during 2004. Although the new line uses solvent based ink, it has major environmental benefits, over
conventional screen printing, as follows:
There is no screen preparation involved and no chemicals or film used in graphic
production with the new digital printing process. Raw material usage is therefore
reduced and there are also reductions in hazardous and packaging waste arising from
the Preparation and Graphics Departments.
There is less printed waste associated with the new digital printing process.
Overall, therefore, the Printing Department’s hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation have
been reduced by the new digital printing processes.
In 2005 further investment was made at the plant and a new printing machine was commissioned -
the NUR Tempo™ machine. This machine employs the latest digital printing technology using
printing inks that are cured by the application of UV light immediately after printing. One of the big
advantages of this technology is that the process uses less ink than other digital printing methods.
Annual Environmental Report 2010

Print & Display Ltd. Page 6 of 18
As the NUR Tempo™ machine utilizes UV-curable inks, there is no ink evaporation and no VOCs
(volatile organic compounds) are emitted thus creating a more user and environment friendly
atmosphere.
During 2007 a new digital (HP Scitex TJ38300 printing machine was commissioned to replace an
existing digital machine (Pressjet) which was installed in 2003. The HP Scitex can print on a new of
substrates and while it uses a solvent based ink it is highly efficient in the manner in which ink is
utilised and its digital process minimises waste.
Originally P&D used a dedicated screen washing machine which always needed to be supplemented
by intensive manual cleaning. The original machine and the manual washing process utilised solvent
and detergents and they both gave rise to atmospheric emissions of VOC and to a contaminated
effluent discharge. In addition, the original washing process was labour intensive, gave rise to noise
and airborne emissions and used large volumes of water.
In order to address some of the persistent difficulties associated with screen cleaning, P&D invested
in the Enviromatic Screen Washing System in 2006. The Enviromatic system resulted in a screen
cleaning system that is much more environmentally friendly. It dramatically reduced the volume of
solvents used by Print & Display as the machine utilizes a solvent-based cleaning system in an
enclosed unit, with the solvent being recycled and re-used. The system is fully automated, so it also
has the benefit of eliminating human involvement in the process. This has reduced the facility’s
running costs and also eliminated any occupational hygiene issues associated with the original
system. Discharges to air and effluent discharges have been significantly reduced by the new
cleaning system.
During 2010 a formal application was made to the Agency under Condition 1.2 of the IPPC licence
to install and operate a new printing machine. The new ‘HP Scitex XP27JO’ machine is a flatbed
press and uses printing inks that are cured by the application of UV light immediately after printing.
The use of UV-curable inks in the HP Scitex XP27JO machine has several advantages over the
solvent-based inks used in other equipment. UV-curable inks bond to a wider range of substrates and
do not require any coating. Greater colour consistency is achieved since the ink cures immediately
and there is no dot gain variation and no temperature dependency. The UV-curable ink also has a
VOC (volatile organic compound) content of less than 95 g/l and thus creates a more user and
environment friendly atmosphere. The machine utilizes up to 3 litres of ink per hour and under worst
case conditions the total use of VOC in the machine will be 0.29 kg/h.
Consultations were made with the Agency during 2010 regarding the new machine and emission
testing programme has confirmed that the emissions from the machine do not pose any technical or
compliance issues for Print & Display Ltd.

3. DATA:
All of the data presented in this section of the report is based upon independent monitoring
undertaken on behalf of print & Display Limited, unless otherwise stated. The Agency and South
Dublin County Council also monitor emissions from the facility and there is generally a high degree
of consistency between the various monitoring data.
3.1 Emissions to Atmosphere:
The principal environmental emissions from the printing plant arise from the use of inks and screen
washing chemicals. These emissions are mainly in the form of organic solvents which are evolved and
discharged directly to atmosphere.
Table 3.1.1 Licensed Atmospheric Emission Points:
Emission Point
Source of Emission
A 1 Composite Printing Emission
A2 Side-Wall Printing Machine
(not operational.)
A3 Screen-Washer
The ‘Side-Wall Printing Machine’ emission point (A2) has been decommissioned for a number of years
and the use of solvent based cleaning solutions in the screen-wash bay has been phassed out. This has
effectively made emission point A3 redundant.
Details of the Print & Display atmospheric process emissions for 2010 are presented in Table 3.1.2
below. The data is based on the monitoring programmes undertaken on behalf of the company by
Moloney & Associates, Acoustic & Environmental Consultants. During each monitoring programme
samples were taken from the operational emission points.
The sampling and analytical methods generally involved collecting representative samples on to
adsorbent tubes using personal sampling pumps and analysing the samples by gas chromatography
with a flame ionisation detector (GC/FID). A direct reading FID has also been used in conjunction
with the adsorbent tube sampling technique

A summary of the compliance history for 2010 is presented below. The data is based on the
monitoring programmes which were undertaken on behalf of the company.
Table 3.1.2 2010 Atmospheric Emissions – VOC Compliance History:
Emission Point 2010
% Compliance
A1 100
A3 100
As can be seen from Table 3.1.2 there was a 100% level of compliance with the atmospheric
emission limit values at A1 and A3 during 2010. This maintains the 100% compliance standard
since 2006.
A summary of the annual atmospheric emission details is presented in Table 3.1.3. The data includes
a breakdown of the results for individual licensed emission points, as well as a total emission for all
licensed emission points.

3.2 Emissions to Sewer:
Process effluent from the Print & Display Ltd. facility arises primarily from the screen washing area.
This effluent is discharged to the foul sewer via an interceptor trap on the north-western side of the
Print & Display Ltd. site (Emission Point SE1).
It is important to note that the majority of the trade effluent is generated in the screen wash area of
the plant. While a dedicated screen cleaning machine has been traditionally used in this area to
reclaim the screens, cleaning agents were also applied by brush where persistent staining arose. This
latter activity, known as spot-cleaning, had the potential to give rise to short term spikes in the
concentration of certain contaminants.
In 2006 a new screen cleaning system (Environmatic) was commissioned in consultation with the
EPA and South Dublin County Council. The new system was designed to minimise the release of
effluent discharge and to reduce air emissions. The other major benefit of the new system is that it
almost entirely eliminates the need for spot-cleaning and thus spikes in the discharge are eliminated.
For the purpose of comparing the annual mass emissions, the total process effluent generated at the
facility (based upon meter readings and the annual water consumption) was assumed to be an average
of 8.61 m3 per day. This mean daily discharge was used to compute the annual discharge for 2010,
based on 255 working days per annum in the screen wash area.
Details of the process effluent emissions for the period 2008 to 2010 are presented in Table 3.2.1
below. This data was computed using the self-monitoring quarterly compliance monitoring results for
these years. Analysis of quarterly grab samples was undertaken by Independent Laboratory Limited
and based on the mean concentrations and daily discharge rate, the annual mass emission was
computed.
Table 3.2.1 Waste Water Emissions 2008 to 2010:

MBAS 137 57 18 2,190
Silver 0.02 < 0.154 < 0.170 10.95
As can be seen from the above data, compared with the licensed mass emission, the overall discharge
is relatively insignificant.

Overall the impact of the plant’s effluent is not considered to be significant. This is because the
effluent from the plant is treated (along with all of the industrial estate effluent, and Dublin’s
municipal waste water) in the city’s effluent treatment plant at Ringsend, Dublin 4.
During 2010, there was one reported non-compliance with the effluent limit values, based upon all of
the sampling and analysis undertaken by Independent Laboratory, the EPA and South Dublin County
Council. A summary of the compliance history has been prepared, and this data is presented in Table
3.2.2 below.

pH 83
On the 24th
of May 2010 a grab sample was collected by South Dublin County Council and the
reported result for pH was 4.4. The limit value for pH is 6 – 10 and the Agency was formally
notified of the incident and an investigation was undertaken. Consultations were held with the
suppliers of screen cleaning chemicals and no explanation for a low pH was identified. There was no
unusual activity on site and no effluent discharge arose outside of the normal screen washing process.
On site pH tests were taken and Independent Laboratory Ltd have also undertaken routine tests since
May 2010. In addition, South Dublin County Council has also undertaken tests for pH since the
reported incident. All test results since the reported pH non-compliance have been fully compliant.

3.3 Surface Water Runoff:
Storm water arising on the Print & Display Ltd. facility is discharged into the County Council surface
water drainage system. The combined storm water discharge exits the Print & Display Ltd. site via a
manhole which is located at the north-eastern corner of the facility.
In accordance with the licence requirements, grab samples of surface water are analysed for pH and
COD on a biannual basis. Two sampling points (SW1 and SW2) were designated for monitoring but
difficulties with a roof drainage system prevented samples being collected from one of the points.
During 2010, the roof drainage issue was resolved and sampling of both SW1 and SW2 was
undertaken. In addition, the surface water sampling and reporting procedure was updated.
During 2010 a total of three grab samples of surface water were analysed for pH and COD. A
summary of the mean monitoring results for these surface water emissions (SW1 and SW2) are
presented in Table 3.3.1 below.
Table 3.3.1 2010 Mean Surface Water Monitoring Results:
Parameter Mean Concentration
2010
COD (mg/l) 353
pH (pH units) 7.1
In addition to the pH and COD analysis, grab samples of surface runoff are taken periodically for
visual inspection. The surface water monitoring programme has not detected any significant level of
spillage or contamination from the plant. In addition, the visual monitoring programme has not
necessitated any further assessment or monitoring.

3.4 Noise:
The Print & Display Ltd. facility is located within a busy industrial estate and is far removed from
any noise sensitive location. The plant does not cause any significant impact on the noise
environment and for this reason there is no requirement to undertake environmental noise monitoring
at the plant.
It has been noted that recent changes at the plant have reduced the overall ambient noise level. In
particular the new printing machines are apparently quieter than the older machines they replaced. In
addition, the elimination of power hosing in the screen-wash area has had a noticeable improvement
on the ambient noise level inside the factory.

3.5 Waste Management:
All waste management operations are regulated at the site in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Company’s IPC licence. There are a number of distinct waste streams generated
throughout the plant, including:
Miscellaneous non-segregated waste
Waste sludge
Waste solvent
Waste cardboard
Waste timber.
In recent years major improvements in the on-site management of waste have occurred. The
handling and segregation of waste have been improved with modifications to the on-site bailing and
compacting systems and with on the job training.
Waste cardboard and waste timber has now been entirely diverted from landfill and both of these
streams are recycled. This data and details of the annual waste sent for off site disposal in 2010 are
presented in Table 3.5.2 (Attachment I of this report).
The types of hazardous waste generated on site includes: spent solvent/sludge which arises
intermittently from the screen wash machine and sludge from the interceptor trap. The use of
photographic chemicals has now been discontinued and there will be no hazardous waste arising
from the Graphics Department for the foreseeable future.
A summary of the total annual tonnage of hazardous and non-hazardous waste for the period 2005 to
2010 is presented in Table 3.5.1 below.
Table 3.5.1 Summary of Annual Waste Arising (2005 – 2010):

Non-Hazardous Waste 357.5 367.0 380.6 445.2 394.5 387.81
There have been a number of significant changes at the plant in recent years and variations in
production output arise from time to time. For these reasons, caution is necessary when drawing
conclusions from the above data and it may not be possible to directly compare data from one year
with that of another. However, it is noteworthy that the greatest increase in waste production in
recent years has arisen in cardboard and timber waste which are recycled. The production of all other
waste streams has generally declined over the past number of years.
A review of suitability of the Company’s waste contactors is periodically undertaken and, when
necessary, consultations are held with the Agency regarding the approval of new contractors.

3.6 Energy and Water Usage:
Details of electricity consumption, boiler fuel consumption and water consumption for the years 2007
to 2010 are presented in Table 3.6.1 below:

Water (m3) 6223 5585 4865 4576
As with waste management data, direct comparisons cannot always be made between one year and
another. However, it is noteworthy that there has been a slight increase in gas consumption between
2009 and 2010 (for space heating) and a slight decrease in electricity and water consumption over the
same period.
3.7 Environmental Incidents and Complaints:
The only environmental incident which has ever arisen at the plant, related to the discharge of
effluent and atmospheric emissions which do not fully comply with all of the licence limits. There
was one minor incident which arose during 2010 and this related to a reduced pH reading in one the
effluent samples. This was addressed earlier in Section 3.2 and the pH issue has now been
demonstrated to be fully compliant.
Print & Display Ltd. have a documented procedure for recording environmentally related complaints
as part of their Environmental Management System. There were no such complaints received since
the company was granted its IPC licence up to the end of December 2010.

3.8 Pollution Emission Register:
Detailed PER assessment work was undertaken during the initial years of the company’s IPC licence.
The main emissions arising from the activity are the organic solvents which are discharged directly to
atmosphere. These organic solvents are used in the manufacture of ink and they are evolved during
the ink drying stage of the printing process. In addition, screen wash solutions are predominantly
solvent based and these are emitted to atmosphere during the screen cleaning process.
A wide range of solvents are used in the manufacturing of the Print & Display raw materials (inks
and screen washing chemicals). For this reason it is necessary to focus upon the total VOC
emissions, as opposed to the individual solvent emissions or the emission of specific compounds.
Some GC/MS work has been undertaken on samples collected at the plant, however, a huge range of
organic solvents was detected and these solvents were difficult to quantify individually. In addition,
data furnished from the raw material suppliers in the form of MSDSs do not accurately identify the
full range of solvents present in some of the raw materials.
Sampling of effluent suggests that there are negligible losses of solvent to sewer and the solvent
losses to product are not known but are thought to be insignificant. While the bulk of the VOC is
discharged from the licensed emission points, the remainder is evolved as fugitive emissions. It was
previously agreed with the Agency that the facility would not be subject to a detailed PER
assessment. However, the principal VOCs have been tracked by simple mass balancing and a
summary of the data is presented below. For comparison purposes, the VOC consumption data for
the period 1999 to 2009 is presented.
Table 3.8.1 Summary of solvent consumption 1999 - 2010
Year Total Solvent Consumption (kg)
1999 56,712
2000 28,625
2001 37,795
2002 27,411
2003 26,450
2004 16,780
2005 18,821
2006 14,686
2007 10,814
2008 17,148
2009 21,704
2010 20,074
There has been a marked decrease in the total solvent consumption over the period 1997 to 2007.
This is a direct result of the success of the ‘raw material substitution programme’ at the plant. This
has involved a phased decommissioning of the original printing machines and the commissioning of
a new screen washing machine at the plant. Increases in solvent consumption during 2009 (over the
2007 and 2008 data) have mainly arisen due to the increased activity levels of the ‘Turbo Jet’ and the
‘Press Jet’ machines, although there has been a minor reduction in solvent usage during 2010.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
4.1 Site Management:
A copy of the current Print & Display Organisation Chart is included in Attachment II of this report.
The Managing Director is ultimately responsible for site management and control. Specific
responsibilities are delegated through the Plant Manager (Environmental Manager).
The Plant Manager assumes the role of Environmental Manager and as such is responsible for
environmental and safety management including all monitoring and reporting functions. Day to day
environmental management activities are carried out in conjunction with an Environmental
Management Committee.
4.2 Environmental Management System:
Print & Display Ltd. does not have a formalised Environmental Management System which meets
the criteria specified by ISO 14001. However, Print & Display Ltd. does operate and maintain an
Environmental Management System in line with the requirements of the IPC licence.
4.3 Human Resources, Training and Education:
Under Condition 2.7 of the Company’s IPC licence Print & Display Ltd. are required to establish and
maintain procedures for identifying training needs, and for providing appropriate training, for all
personnel whose work can have a significant effect upon the environment.
Print & Display Ltd. is also required to provide appropriate training for personnel who perform
certain tasks which have significant environmental implications. In response to this requirement,
Print & Display Ltd. have undertaken a series of training initiatives in the past including: in-house
Environmental Training Workshops and the participation in external workshops and seminars. More
recently an evaluation of training needs was undertaken and this has been used to develop an
Environmental Training Programme during 2010 and 2011.
Budgetary constraints limited the formal training undertaken during 2010, however, on-the-job
training was undertaken by the development of checklists of duties and tasks and this will be
followed up on during 2011 with a workshop. During July 2010 an Environmental Training
Workshop was presented to key personnel at the plant.

4.4 Environmental Objectives and Targets:
Condition 2.2.1 of the Print & Display IPC licence requires a schedule of Environmental Objectives
and Targets to be drawn up. The Environmental Objectives and Targets form the basis of an
Environmental Management Programme at the facility. Considerable resources have been devoted to
environmental management over the years and major progress has been achieved in implementing the
firm’s Environmental Objectives and Targets.
A lot of the original targets had a time-frame of more than three years and many of the 2010/2011
Environmental Objectives and Targets are a natural extension of the original ones.
A review of the Environmental Objectives and Targets was undertaken during March 2011 and this has been
documented in Attachment III.
4.5 Environmental Management Programme
An Environmental Management Programme (EMP) proposal was developed for the Print & Display
Ltd. facility under Condition 2.3.1 of the IPC licence. Details of the implementation of the EMP are
presented on a project by project basis in a report presented in Attachment IV.
A total of eight projects were proposed in the EMP for 2010/2011 and significant progress has been
made with all projects being implemented. Some issues have arisen and additional projects have
been identified and targeted to form part of the EMP for 2011 and 2012. These are addressed in the
Environmental Management Programme (EMP) proposal which is presented in Attachment V.

1. INTRODUCTION:
Print & Display Ltd. are licensed under the Environmental Protection Act 1992 to carry on a
screen printing operation with a capacity to use at least 10 tonnes per annum of organic
solvents.
Condition 2.2.1 of the Company’s Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) Licence requires the
licensee to prepare a schedule of objectives and targets. Condition 2.2.1 also requires the
objectives and targets to be reviewed and amendments to be notified to the Agency, as part of
the AER.
This submission presents a review of the company’s objectives and targets and sets out the
proposed amendments for 2011/2012.
Environmental Objectives and Targets Review March 2011 Page 2 of 5
2. REVIEW OF THE OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS:
A series of principal objectives and targets were initially established in 1999. These
objectives and targets related to the following issues:
The implementation of a raw material substitution programme.
The evaluation of alternative raw materials for the screen wash area.
The assessment of the ventilation needs of the printing plant.
Consulting with the Agency in connection with the licensing implications of all the
plant’s development plans.
The development of appropriate monitoring systems for the printing plant.
Investigating means of minimizing waste.
Upgrading the plant’s environmental documentation system.
Reviewing the environmental training and awareness needs of the facility.
Considerable progress has been made with regard to all of theses targets and objectives and a
review was undertaken in March 2011. Some targets have progressed further than others and
some have long term implications.
The implementation of the raw material programme was hugely successful and over the past
number of years the printing plant was effectively decommissioned and a new printing plant
was installed. This has ensured that most of the printing machines now operate on UV inks
and the raw material substitution programme has totally eliminated the need for any
abatement plant.
The development of new printing systems had a secondary set of impacts and most noticeably
caused intermittent problems with effluent quality. As a result of this, a work programme
was developed to resolve certain effluent quality issues and an entire new screen washing
process was successfully installed in 2006.
Once the facility’s atmospheric and effluent emissions have been successfully reduced and
controlled, secondary areas of attention have been targeted for environmental improvement.
In particular, in-house training and the development of systems to ensure full compliance
became the focus. In addition, the licensee has been obliged to review the enforcement
category for the facility in consultation with the EPA using the approved guidance and
published methodology. Along with this work a periodic review of all waste disposal
contracts has been undertaken but new developments have given rise to project work such as
the evaluation and approval of new contractors.
Environmental Objectives and Targets Review March 2011 Page 3 of 5
During 2010 Print & Display Ltd. fulfilled all of its obligations arising as a result of the
Environmental Liability Risk Assessment (ELRA) requirements published by the Agency.
Significant resources were devoted to undertaking the necessary assessment work and
consulting with the relevant authorities. The project work undertaken included the
development of a Closure Plan for the facility and the consideration of financial provision for
environmental liabilities. A review of the Risk Assessment, Closure Plan and Financial
Provision will be undertaken on an annual basis, the findings of which will be communicated
to the EPA as part of the Annual Environmental Report.
From time to time the Environmental Documentation System needs to be updated and this
work has featured in the EMP. In addition, a periodic review of the Enforcement Category is
also undertaken in line with EPA guidance.
New targets and objectives have been set for 2011/2012 and these include an evaluation of
on-site bunds and an evaluation of potential obligations arising from the use of fluorinated
greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances. In addition, some of the 2010/2011 targets
and objectives have been carried over.
Environmental Objectives and Targets Review March 2011 Page 4 of 5
3. PROPOSED OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS:
A series of objectives and targets has been developed for 2011/2012. Some of these are a
natural continuation of the earlier targets and some have arisen out of new developments and
legislative requirements. The objectives and targets are set out in tabular form in Appendix I.
Environmental Objectives and Targets Review March 2011 Page 5 of 5
4. CONCLUSION:
A summary of the proposed 2011/2012 objectives and targets is set out in tabular form in
Appendix I. The licensee undertakes to review these objectives and targets for the 2011 AER
although some are likely to have a lifespan of a few years.
APPENDIX I
Table 1:
Summary of
objectives and targets review.
TABLE 1: Summary of objectives and targets review.
OBJECTIVES
PRIMARY GOALS
PRIMARY DEADLINES
3.1 The licensee will review all waste
disposal operations.
A review of all waste contracts was completed and new arrangements and
recycling outlets were identified and the necessary approvals were sought
through the Agency. Waste contractors have also been subject to a
questionnaire and/or to an audit or inspection where appropriate.
Major improvements in waste segregation and
disposal have been implemented. A number of
new issues and contracts have arisen over the past
number of years and new waste management
objectives were also established. (Refer to
objective 3.6 and 3.14). Approval has been sought
for new contractors in 2011 and consultations have
been undertaken with the Agency and with Dublin
City Council regarding waste licences and Waste
Disposal permits of certain contractors.
3.2 The licensee will evaluate all
waste labelling and storage
arrangements.
An evaluation of the current storage and labelling arrangements for waste
will be undertaken with a view to reducing hazards and preventing
pollution. Any necessary improvements will be made to ensure that 100%
of all waste storage vessels are properly labelled and appropriate for the
waste material.
This project was undertaken during 2009 and
additional labelling and storage arrangements have
been put in place. It is intended that it shall be
periodically reviewed and if necessary revisited
during 2011.
TABLE 1: Summary of objectives and targets review (continued).
OBJECTIVES

PRIMARY DEADLINES
3.3 The licensee will evaluate the
current surface water monitoring
programme and make any
necessary improvements.
The company is required to monitor surface water in accordance with
Condition 9.1 of the IPC licence. The sampling and reporting procedure is
in need of updating. The sampling and the reporting procedures will be
reviewed and updated to ensure full compliance with the licence
requirements.
The project was completed during 2010 and will
be the subject o a review during 2011.
3.4 The licensee will examine the
screen-wash floor to determine
the extent of any necessary
improvements. Any necessary
upgrade to the floor will be
completed at the soonest
possible plant shut-down.
A review of screen-wash area floor to determine the extent of any
necessary improvements will be undertaken. The aim will be to ensure that
the grouting is repaired to prevent seepage of cleaning agents from this
area.
A decision to modernise the entire screen washing
system was taken and the resulted in an
Environmatic Screen washing system being
installed during 2006. The screen wash bay is no
longer used and the potential for seepage does not
exist anymore.
3.5 The licensee will evaluate all
effluent generating processes
and develop appropriate
monitoring systems for the
screen wash area.
The effluent ELVs are expected to be revised in accordance with Dublin
County Council consent. It is envisaged that recent improvements will
ensure full compliance; however, this will require detailed effluent
monitoring work. Where necessary additional measures will be adopted to
ensure consistent compliance with all licence limits.
The Environmatic Screen washing system has
resulted in consistently good effluent quality.
During 2009 a potential issue arose due to a build
up of sludge in the interceptor trap. Arrangements
were subsequently made in consultation with The
Agency for appropriate removal and off-site
disposal. In May 2010 an effluent sample was
reported to have a pH of 4.4 (limit 6 – 10). This
matter has been investigated and no apparent cause
has yet been identified. Ongoing pH sampling is
being undertaken at the facility and all the data
since May 2010 has been fully compliant.
TABLE 1: Summary of objectives and targets review (continued).
OBJECTIVES
PRIMARY GOALS
PRIMARY DEADLINES
3.6 The licensee undertakes to investigate
means of minimising waste.
A series of measures will be adopted to ensure that waste is avoided at
source and that unavoidable waste is recycled or reused where possible.
Waste minimisation practices were identified by closely collating and
benchmarking waste output for individual print runs. Improvements
were subsequently phased into the activity over a period of years and
P&D set itself a target to reduce the tonnage of landfilled waste by 5%.
A series of waste minimisation measures were
adopted and during 2007 a detailed waste
packaging audit was undertaken. This concluded
that the facility was in compliance of its packaging
waste obligations. P&D does not believe that there
are further improvements to be made although a
review of waste management options will be
undertaken in consultation with waste contractors.
Where practicable further improvements will be
developed by December 2011.
3.7 The licensee will upgrade the plant’s
environmental documentation
system.
The existing environmental documentation system will be reviewed and
appropriate improvements to the documentation system will be made.
It is envisaged that key parts of the EMS will require ongoing
documentation changes and updates. During 2010 a register of all
standard operating procedures (SOPs) will be prepared and any
necessary updates will be made.
A register of all SOPs was prepared and any
necessary updates were made
during 2010. A further evaluation and review of
the documentation system will be made by
December 2011 in line with issues and
developments arising from other projects.
3.8 The licensee will review the
environmental training and
awareness needs of key personnel.
A review of key staff’s environmental awareness and training will be
completed. A programme will be developed to ensure that all relevant
personnel are provided with appropriate training.
A training review has been completed and a
training needs assessment has been completed for
key staff. A new training programme will be
implemented by September 2011 and where new
issues arise, updates to the training programme
will be made.

3.9 The licensee will review the site
drainage system and any
necessary improvements will be
made.
The existing drainage system will be examined and improvements to the
system will be made, where necessary. Questions have been raised about
where certain drains discharge to and whether any run-off emanates from
the adjacent sites. One of the main objectives will be to determine precisely
where all drains discharge. An up to date site drainage plan will be
compiled and circulated to all relevant personnel.
Issues regarding the discharge of surface water
from other sites have arisen. Relatively small
volumes of surface water arise on the P&D site,
but the combined surface water of the industrial
estate passes though the P&D drain. This project
was implemented in 2009 and some modifications
in the surface water monitoring procedure were
called for during 2010 (see Objective 3.16).
3.10 The licensee will review the
potential for recycling screen
wash solvent on-site.
The Environmatic Screen washing system has resulted in consistently good
effluent quality and it has reduced the emissions to atmosphere. An
evaluation of ways to reduce raw material usage will be evaluated and in
particular the benefits of solvent recovery will be assessed. Consultations
will be held with equipment suppliers and with the EPA and the
environmental benefits of available systems will be assessed. In the event
that a viable system can be sourced, prior notification will be given to the
Agency and all safety and environmental issues will be investigated.
This project was originally commenced in April
2007 and was fully completed by the purchase and
commissioning of the new Environmatic Screen
wash system.
3.11 An energy conservation
programme and awareness
strategy will be developed for
the company.
A log of energy consumption will be made on a monthly basis. Good
housekeeping practices and energy conservation initiatives will be
introduced.
Ongoing energy consumption data will be
maintained during 2011. Staff awareness and
training initiatives will be introduced where
necessary.
3.12 The licensee shall establish
formal procedures to ensure that
the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with.
An internal review off all IPC licence conditions and schedules will be
undertaken. A series of checklists and questionnaires will then be
developed to facilitate P&D personnel to undertake internal audits.
An audit of the facility was undertaken during
2010 and checklists were developed to remind staff
of their periodic environmental obligations. These
checklists will form the part of on-the-job training
during 2011. Internal audits will also proceed on
an annual basis as part of the preparation work for
the AER. The next audit will be completed by
January 2012.

3.13 The licensee shall review of the
enforcement category for the
facility in consultation with the
EPA.
A review of the EPA’s guidance will be made. All pertinent data will be
compiled and consultations will be held where necessary. An electronic
submission will be made to the Agency based upon the 2009 AER data.
.
The project originally resulted in a submission to
the EPA in 2009. Notification that new guidance
has been issued was received by P&D in July 2010
(RBME guidance). A new assessment based upon
the updated RBME was completed in August 2010.
Based upon the 2010/2011 AER, a new submission
will be made to the Agency by July 2011.
3.14 A review of all waste disposal
contracts will be made.
During 2010 the acquisition of Veolia Environmental Services by
Greenstar Limited has proceeded. In addition, P&D has evaluated the
suitability of certain waste contractors and this may result in new outlets
being used for waste disposal. These developments require a formal
notification to the Agency and/or an update of internal documentation
systems.
The project has commenced and during April 2011
consultations were made with the EPA regarding
the approval of new waste contactors. Contractual
arrangements will not be entered into until the
contactors have been approved. It is likely that this
will proceed during 2011 with a final review and
update of any documentation to be completed by
November 2011.
3.15 A review of all statutory
obligations and relevant guidance
documentation pertaining to
Environmental Liability Risk
Assessment (ELRA) will be made. All
necessary submissions will be
furnished to the Agency.
The company’s obligations arising as a result of all relevant
Environmental Liability Risk Assessment (ELRA) Guidance and policy
documents will be reviewed with reference to any new statutory
obligations. Where necessary a documented response will be made.
Major resources have already been devoted to
undertaking the necessary assessment work and
consulting with the relevant authorities. In
addition, the company has developed a Closure
Plan for the facility, an ELRA report and has also
documented the consideration of financial
provision for environmental liabilities. A review
of the Risk Assessment, Closure Plan and
Financial Provision was undertaken during
November 2010. This assessment will be
reevaluated and reviewed in line with new
developments by the end of December 2011.
TABLE 1: Summary of objectives and targets review (continued).
OBJECTIVES

PRIMARY DEADLINES
3.16 A review of the surface water
monitoring procedure will be made and
any necessary modifications will be
made.
Two sampling points were designated but difficulties with a roof drainage
system prevented samples being collected from one of the points. In
addition, the sampling and reporting practices have been complicated by
the fact that surface water enters the site from other facilities on the
industrial estate. A new procedure will be put in place and implemented to
ensure that the sampling and reporting is in line with all requirements and
where necessary consultation swill be held with Dublin County Council
and the EPA.
The new procedure will be put in place and
completed before the end of November 2011.
3.17 A review of the bunding
arrangements at the facility will be
undertaken.
The company’s obligations in relation to bunding are specified in the IPC
licence, however, guidelines have evolved and an evaluation of all bunds
will be undertaken to determine their suitability. A documented bund
management record will be prepared.
Guidance will be reviewed and a documented bund
management record will be prepared.
and completed during July 2011.
3.18 A review of the legislation and
guidance on the use of fluorinated
greenhouse gases and ozone
depleting substances will be made.
Potential obligations may have arisen in relation to potential obligations
arising from the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases and ozone
depleting substances. A review of the legislation and guidance will be
made along with potential sources such as chillers and air conditioning
units which are used on site.
The relevant legislation and guidance will be
reviewed and a documented management
procedure will be formulated
and completed by the end of August 2011.

1. INTRODUCTION:
Print & Display Ltd. are licensed under the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992 to
carry on a screen-printing operation with a capacity to use at least 10 tonnes per annum of
organic solvents. The location of the licensed activity is 80, Cookstown Industrial Estate,
Tallaght, Co. Dublin and the licence register number is 116.
Condition 2.3.1 of the Company’s Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) Licence requires the
licensee ‘...to establish and maintain an Environmental Management Programme, including
a time schedule for achieving objectives and targets’.
This report sets out the details of the implementation of the Environmental Management
Programme (EMP) for 2009 and 2010, on a project by project basis.
Implementation of Environmental Management Programme 2010/2011 Page 2 of 10
2. IMPLEMENTATION OF EMP PROJECTS:
Project Number 1:
An Environmental Audit will be undertaken at the facility to
determine the level of compliance with the IPC licence.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.12.
Rationale for
undertaking project:
A systematic audit will enable the licensee to determine the
degree of compliance with the IPC licence requirements. Where
problem areas are identified appropriate remedial action will be
undertaken. This project will help to ensure that pollution is not
caused by the plant and it will also help to reduce the plant’s
environmental liabilities.
Target to be achieved
by project:
The project will help to achieve compliance with the IPC licence
requirements and it will help to prevent environmental pollution.
It will also help in the compilation of the AER.
Outline of Project:
An internal Environmental Audit of the Print & Display facility
will be undertaken annually. The Audit methodology will be
primarily based upon a site specific checklist which was designed
to determine the level of Print & Display’s environmental
compliance with the IPC licence requirements. The Audit will
also be helpful in focussing upon potentially non-complaint
issues.
Current Status: This project has been fully implemented.
Summary Report: An audit checklist was developed and this has been modified and
updated to facilitate the audit process. An internal audit was
undertaken at the facility and this was closed off during March
2011. The audit process is to be repeated on an annual basis.
Implementation of Environmental Management Programme 2010/2011 Page 3 of 10
Project Number 2:
Consultations will be held with waste contractors regarding
their environmental licences and/or permits. Where
considered appropriate or necessary an audit of their
facilities will be undertaken.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.14.
Rationale for
undertaking project:
All waste is disposed off site using approved contractors and
approved facilities. Commercial pressures will require
competitive tendering to be considered and new contracts may be
considered. Even if our contactors are not changed, it is
considered good practice to ensure that the existing agents and
contractors are fully authorised and that appropriate controls and
documentation are in place. During 2010 the acquisition of
Veolia Environmental Services by Greenstar Limited has resulted
in new outlets being used for waste disposal. These developments
will require a formal notification to the Agency and/or an update
of internal documentation systems.
The project will review all wastes handled by P & D and will also
facilitate a review of the provisions of Condition 7 of the licence.
Target to be achieved
by project:
During 2010 Veolia Environmental Services was acquired by
Greenstar and this may result in different disposal outlets being
used. An assessment of the licensing implications of this will be
undertaken and a submission will be made to the Agency, where
required.
Outline of Project:
All waste streams will be examined in line with Condition 7 and
consultations will be held with all waste contactors regarding
their environmental licences and/or permits. Copies of these will
be sourced and reviewed and where considered appropriate or
necessary an audit of certain contractors or their facilities will be
undertaken.
Current Status: This project was successfully implemented, but ongoing issues
may arise.
Summary Report: Consultations were held with all waste contactors during 2010
with and an evaluation of the suitability of two new contactors
was undertaken and completed in March 2011. In addition,
consultations were also held with the EPA regarding the approval
of these new waste contractors. Given the changes in the waste
sector and the need to keep a watching brief on waste
management, some follow-up work is likely.
Implementation of Environmental Management Programme 2010/2011 Page 4 of 10
Project Number 3:
The facility’s environmental documentation system will be
reviewed and upgraded during 2010.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.7.
Rationale for
undertaking project:
Condition 2.5 of the IPC licence specifically requires the
Company to provide and maintain an Environmental
Documentation System. Compliance with this condition will
ensure that appropriate controls and records are in place.
Target to be achieved
by project:
The project will achieve compliance with Condition 2.5 and it
will help to prevent environmental pollution. It will also re-
familiarise all relevant staff of the environmental management
system.
Outline of Project:
The documentation system is a fundamental part of the
environmental control system and developments in key parts of
the plant may require some new documentation changes from
time to time. During 2010 a register of all standard operating
procedures (SOPs) will be developed and this will be used for
staff training, as required.
Current Status: This project was successfully been implemented during 2010.
Summary Report: All documentation was reviewed and updated during November
2010 and a register of all standard operating procedures (SOPs)
was developed. New developments have and EPA Guidance has
arisen and this will require an update of the Emergency Response
Procedure during 2011.
Implementation of Environmental Management Programme 2010/2011 Page 5 of 10
Project Number 4:
An environmental training programme will be developed for
key personnel at the plant.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.8.
Rationale for
undertaking project:
Condition 2.7 of the IPC licence specifically requires the licensee
to address training and awareness. Improved awareness will
generally help to promote better environmental practices. In
addition, new functions and responsibilities may be undertaken
by key personnel and some may require additional training.
Target to be achieved
by project:
The project will achieve compliance with Condition 2.7 and it
will also help to ensure that miscellaneous conditions are
complied with. It will also help to prevent environmental
pollution. All personnel whose work has the potential to impact
upon the environment will undergo a training programme.
Approximately 5 personnel will be provided with training during
2010 and 2011.
Outline of Project:
The project will initially involve developing the key areas to be
highlighted in response to the training needs of key employees.
Training seminars or workshops will then be presented in-house
and/or on the job training will be provided.
Current Status: This project was successfully implemented.
Summary Report: During 2010 and 2011 a review of the training requirements was
made. On the job training was provided and a training workshop
was undertaken on the 28 July 2010. A training needs evaluation
was subsequently carried out and a workshop is planned for 4
employees during 2011 with SOP training to be provided for an
additional two employees.
Implementation of Environmental Management Programme 2010/2011 Page 6 of 10
Project Number 5:
A programme will be implemented to closely monitor energy
usage with a view to introducing improved practices
throughout the facility.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.11
Rationale for
undertaking project:
An efficient energy conservation programme will reduce the
overall emissions attributable to the facility and it will also be in
line with good environmental practice. There should hopefully
be additional cost savings to be made.
Target to be achieved
by project:
The target to be achieved is to have an up-to-date energy
conservation programme fully operational and subject to an
internal review by March 2010. This will ensure that all
personnel are aware of the environmental issues associated with
energy conservation and that the company’s programme is up to
date and functioning well.
Outline of Project:
A review of all energy consumption will be made and recorded
on a monthly basis. A series of energy conservation measures
will be adopted throughout the plant. These will be based upon
simple housekeeping measures such as switching off lights and
equipment when not in use and minimising energy wastage etc.

Proposed Environmental Management Programme 2011 - 2012 Page 1 of 12
1. INTRODUCTION:
Print & Display Ltd. are licensed under the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992 to
carry on a screen-printing operation with a capacity to use at least 10 tonnes per annum of
organic solvents. The location of the licensed activity is 80, Cookstown Industrial Estate,
Tallaght, Co. Dublin and the licence register number is 116.
Condition 2.3.1 of the Company’s Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) Licence requires the
licensee ‘...to establish and maintain an Environmental Management Programme, including
a time schedule for achieving objectives and targets’.
This report sets out the details of the proposed Environmental Management Programme
(EMP) for 2011 and 2012, on a project by project basis.
Proposed Environmental Management Programme 2011 - 2012 Page 2 of 12
2. SCOPE OF THE EMP:
The primary factors which have determined the scope of the EMP are the licensee’s proposed
objectives and targets and the general provisions of the Integrated Pollution Control licence.
Condition 2.3 of the licence specifies the issues which should be addressed ‘as a minimum’ in
the EMP.
Reference has also been made to the Agency's guidance - Guidance Note for Annual
Environmental Report - in determining the scope and layout of the EMP.
Proposed Environmental Management Programme 2011 - 2012 Page 3 of 12
3. PROPOSED EMP PROJECTS:
The following projects are proposed for 2011 and 2012.
Project Number 1:
An Environmental Audit will be undertaken at the facility to
determine the level of compliance with the IPC licence.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.12.
Rationale for
undertaking project:
A systematic audit will enable the licensee to determine the
degree of compliance with the IPC licence requirements. Where
problem areas are identified appropriate remedial action will be
undertaken. This project will help to ensure that pollution is not
caused by the plant and it will also help to reduce the plant’s
environmental liabilities.
Target to be achieved
by project:
The project will help to achieve compliance with the IPC licence
requirements and it will help to prevent environmental pollution.
It will also help in the compilation of the AER.
Outline of Project:
An internal Environmental Audit of the Print & Display facility
will be undertaken annually. The Audit methodology will be
primarily based upon a site specific checklist which was designed
to determine the level of Print & Display’s environmental
compliance with the IPC licence requirements. The Audit will
also be helpful in focussing upon potentially non-complaint
issues.
Designation of
Responsibility:
The Environmental Manager will assume responsibility for this
project.
Project Schedule: An internal audit will be undertaken in consultation with our
Environmental Consultants during January 2012.
Proposed Environmental Management Programme 2011 - 2012 Page 4 of 12
Project Number 2:
Consultations will be held with waste contractors regarding
their environmental licences and/or permits. Where
considered appropriate or necessary an audit of their
facilities will be undertaken.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.14.
Rationale for
undertaking project:
All waste is disposed off site using approved contractors and
approved facilities. Commercial pressures require competitive
tendering to be considered and new contracts are actively being
considered. It is considered good practice to ensure that the
existing agents and contractors are fully authorised and that
appropriate controls and documentation are in place. These
developments will require a formal notification to the Agency
and/or an update of internal documentation systems.
The project will review all wastes handled by P & D and will also
facilitate a review of the provisions of Condition 7 of the licence.
Target to be achieved
by project:
During 2011 the approval of new waste contactors has been
sought and this may result in new operational practices and
different disposal outlets being used. An assessment of the
licensing implications of this will be undertaken and a
consultations will be held with the Agency and/or Dublin City
Council, where required by the end of November.
Outline of Project:
All waste streams will be examined in line with Condition 7 and
consultations will be held with all waste contactors regarding
their environmental licences and/or permits. Copies of these will
be sourced and reviewed and where considered appropriate or
necessary an audit of certain contractors or their facilities will be
undertaken.
Designation of
Responsibility:
The Environmental Manager will assume responsibility for this
project, however, external assistance may be provided by
Environmental Consultants.
Project Schedule: The project has already commenced and will proceed during
2011, when it is likely that new contractual arrangements will be
entered into. The time line for these can not be determined but no
waste disposal contracts will proceed without the prior approval
of the EPA.
Proposed Environmental Management Programme 2011 - 2012 Page 5 of 12
Project Number 3:
The facility’s environmental documentation system will be
reviewed and upgraded during 2011.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.7.
Rationale for
undertaking project:
Condition 2.5 of the IPC licence specifically requires the
Company to provide and maintain an Environmental
Documentation System. Compliance with this condition will
ensure that appropriate controls and records are in place.
Target to be achieved
by project:
The project will achieve compliance with Condition 2.5 and it
will help to prevent environmental pollution. It will also re-
familiarise all relevant staff of the environmental management
system.
Outline of Project:
The documentation system is a fundamental part of the
environmental control system and developments in key parts of
the plant may require some new documentation changes from
time to time. On the 31 of December 2010 new guidance was
issued by the EPA regarding the Notification of Incidents. This
will require a review and updating of our Emergency Response
Procedure (ERP). In addition, developments in waste
management will require certain documentation to be updated.
Designation of
Responsibility:
The Environmental Manager will assume responsibility for this
project, however, external assistance may be provided by
Environmental Consultants.
Project Schedule: The ERP will be reviewed and updated before the end of July.
The waste management documentation system will be reviewed
and updated as the need arises, with a final review undertaken by
the end of December 2011.
Proposed Environmental Management Programme 2011 - 2012 Page 6 of 12
Project Number 4:
An environmental training programme will be developed for
key personnel at the plant.
Relationship to the
company's objectives
and targets:
This project will help to ensure that the requirements of the IPC
licence are being complied with in accordance with Objective
3.8.
Rationale for
undertaking project:
Condition 2.7 of the IPC licence specifically requires the licensee
to address training and awareness. Improved awareness will
generally help to promote better environmental practices. In
addition, new functions and responsibilities may be undertaken
by key personnel and some may require additional training.
Target to be achieved
by project:
The project will achieve compliance with Condition 2.7 and it
will also help to ensure that miscellaneous conditions are
complied with. It will also help to prevent environmental
pollution. All personnel whose work has the potential to impact
upon the environment will undergo a training programme.
Approximately 7 personnel will be provided with training during
2011.
