2. DESCRIPTION OF SITE ACTIVITIES This pig production unit is located in an agricultural hinterland, in the townland of

Lissemane, approx 2.5 Km fiom the public roadway (R438), and at an elevation of 60m. The pig unit is about 505 Km fiom Rathcabbin.

The unit has been licensed by the Environmental Protection Agency since 23" February 1999, and the operating capacity of the site is set out in Table 1 below. P C License Reg No PO437 was reviewed, and a new IPPC License was issued 2gfh April 2006, which incorporated an anaerobic digester adjacent to the existing pig farm, to treat pig manure and imported organic material, to produce green energy, and fertilizer. The development of this anaerobic digester is dependent on economic conditions, and approval for connection to the electric grid.

3. SUMMARY INFORMATION 1 1,415 tonnes of animal feed was utilised on site during 2019 in the production of pig meat. 794,844 units of electricity and 156,826 litres of gas was utilised in the production process in 2019. This is summarised in Table 2 below.

3.1 PIG MANURE STORAGE CAPACITY The available pig manure storage capacity is recorded weekly on site. This data is

summarised in Table 3 below, and presented as the % of storage capacity available at the end of each month. It is clear that there is sufficient suitable storage available on site, throughout the year. As a result it is proposed to formally request the Agency for permission to reduce the monitoring frequency of storage capacity to monthly. The available slurry storage capacity of this farm is 24,218 M3. The estimated volume of slurry production on this farm during 2019 was 13,759 M3.

3.5 PIG MANURE REGISTER

commercially sensitive information is available on site for inspection during normal working hours. The pig manure fi-om this facility is utilised as fertiliser on agricultural crops, on clearly identified parcels of land, in accordance with nutrient requirements, and therefore is not waste, as determined by the European court of Justice. 9,744M3 of pig manure was delivered to customer farms during 201 9, for use as a fertiliser, on agricultural crops.

A pig manure register is maintained on site. This register which contains

3.9 SELF MONITORING DATA

1. SURFACE WATER DISCHARGE MONITORING

The surface water discharge points at the boundary of the site are visually inspected weekly, (a copy of this register is included in Attachment No l), and sampled quarterly. These samples are analysed for COD, and results are set out as mg/litre. Tables 5(i), 5(ii), and 5(iii) below shows the results obtained for surface water discharge analyses.

4.6 NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES A copy of notification procedure for this site is included in Attachment No 3.

5. TANK AND PIPELINE TESTING AND INSPECTION REPORT A tank and pipeline assessment proposal was previously submitted to the Agency for this facility in 2004. This proposal was produced in association with Mr. Jer Keohane of GES Ltd. It proposed the use of the two existing wells, along with the provision of three new wells, to be located around the circumference of the facility, to be monitored on a regular basis on an agreed list of parameters, thereby setting a baseline for future monitoring. These three new wells have now been installed, and are being monitored.

The new facility at this site has been developed at the location of the old. AI1 new structures have been provided with independent leak detection facilities, with individual inspection points. Prior to use of these new buildings, an Engineers Report was prepared by Mr. Michael Mc Eniry, and a copy of same was submitted with the AER 2007 report, along with a copy of a report produced by Mr. Jer Keohane of G.E.S. Ltd.

In addition a further report was submitted to the Agency in June, 2009 having been prepared by Mr. Michael Mc Eniry on the basis of inspections carried out on all the storage tanks on site following an un-planned destocking programme. This was an unusual occurrence which presented itself and the decision was taken on site to take the opportunity to inspect all pig manure storage tanks. The open tanks on site were again certified in August 2015, and the resultant report was submitted to the Agency.

Due to the location of the monitoring wells on-site, up-gradient and down-gradient of this farm, a review of their monitoring results, and the visual inspections of the individual leak detection systems on site, we submit that based on the visual
