Re: Application for Licence ( Reg. No: P1006-01 ) Galway Metal Company Limited, Oranmore,
Dear Ms Leacy,
I refer to the Agency’s letter dated the 8th January 2016 in accordance with Regulation 10(2)(b)(ii) of the EPA (Industrial Emissions)(Licensing) Regulations 2013. The requested information is set out herein.
1. Please provide up-to-date monitoring results for all emission and ambient monitoring points associated with the installation.
Tables 1 to 5 contain the sewer emission, surface water, groundwater, noise and dust monitoring results for all of the emissions and ambient monitoring points at the Galway Metal Company (GMC) installation carried out in 2015, which are the most up-to date monitoring results. The Tables include the relevant emission limit values specified in the Waste Permit, and in the case of groundwater the EPA’s Interim Guideline Values and the Threshold Values from the Groundwater Regulations 2010.
For inspection purposes only. Tables 6 contains the most recentConsent air of emission copyright owner moni requiredtoring for any other results use. for the fragmentation plant
that will be operated at the installation. This monitoring was carried out at GMC’s sister plant in Limerick, where the fragmentation plant was located. Table 7 contains the dust deposition monitoring results for the Limerick facility. The Tables include the relevant emission limit values specified in the Waste Permit.
In addition to the above please also provide an updated non-technical summary to reflect the information provided in your reply.
As the monitoring information does not materially change the application, there is no need to update the non-technical summary.
Yours sincerely

SOILS
Please note we are only MCERTS accredited for sand, loam and clay and any other matrix is outside our scope of accreditation. Where an MCERTS report has been requested, you will be notified within 48 hours of any samples that have been identified as being outside our MCERTS scope. As validation has been performed on clay, sand and loam, only samples that are predominantly these matrices, or combinations of them will be within our MCERTS scope. If samples are not one of a combination of the above matrices they will not be marked as MCERTS accredited. It is assumed that you have taken representative samples on site and require analysis on a representative subsample. Stones will generally be included unless we are requested to remove them. All samples will be discarded one month after the date of reporting, unless we are instructed to the contrary. If we are instructed to keep samples, a storage charge of £1 (1.5 Euros) per sample per month will be applied until we are asked to dispose of them.
If you have not already done so, please send us a purchase order if this is required by your company. Where appropriate please make sure that our detection limits are suitable for your needs, if they are not, please notify us immediately. All analysis is reported on a dry weight basis unless stated otherwise. Results are not surrogate corrected. Samples are dried at 35°C ±5°C unless otherwise stated. Moisture content for CEN Leachate tests are dried at 105°C ±5°C. Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40. Where a CEN 10:1 ZERO Headspace VOC test has been carried out, a 10:1 ratio of water to wet (as received) soil has been used. % Asbestos in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is determined by reference to HSG 264 The Survey Guide - Appendix 2 : ACMs in buildings listed in order of ease of fibre release.
WATERS
Please note we are not a Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) Approved Laboratory . It is important that detection limits are carefully considered when requesting water analysis. UKAS accreditation applies to surface water and groundwater and one other matrix which is analysis specific, any other liquids are outside our scope of accreditation
As surface waters require different sample preparation to groundwaters the laboratory must be informed of the water type when submitting samples.
Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
DEVIATING SAMPLES
Samples must be received in a condition appropriate to the requested analyses. All samples should be submitted to the laboratory in suitable containers with sufficient ice packs to sustain an appropriate temperature for the requested analysis. If this is not the case you will be informed and any test results that may be compromised highlighted on your deviating samples report. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. SURROGATES
Surrogate compounds are added during the preparation process to monitor recovery of analytes. However low recovery in soils is often due to peat, clay or other organic rich matrices. For waters this can be due to oxidants, surfactants, organic rich sediments or remediation fluids. Acceptable limits for most organic methods are 70 - 130% and for VOCs are 50 - 150%. When surrogate recoveries are outside the performance criteria but the associated AQC passes this is assumed to be due to matrix effect. Results are not surrogate corrected.
DILUTIONS
A dilution suffix indicates a dilution has been performed and the reported result takes this into account. No further calculation is required.
NOTE
Data is only reported if the laboratory is confident that the data is a true reflection of the samples analysed. Data is only reported as accredited when all the requirements of our Quality System have been met. In certain circumstances where all the requirements of the Quality System have not been met, for instance if the associated AQC has failed, the reason is fully investigated and documented. The sample data is then evaluated alongside the other quality control checks performed during analysis to determine its suitability. Following this evaluation, provided the sample results have not been effected, the data is reported but accreditation is removed. It is a UKAS requirement for data not reported as accredited to be considered indicative only, but this does not mean the data is not valid. Where possible, and if requested, samples will be re-extracted and a revised report issued with accredited results. Please do not hesitate to contact the laboratory if further details are required of the circumstances which have led to the removal of accreditation.

SOILS
Please note we are only MCERTS accredited for sand, loam and clay and any other matrix is outside our scope of accreditation. Where an MCERTS report has been requested, you will be notified within 48 hours of any samples that have been identified as being outside our MCERTS scope. As validation has been performed on clay, sand and loam, only samples that are predominantly these matrices, or combinations of them will be within our MCERTS scope. If samples are not one of a combination of the above matrices they will not be marked as MCERTS accredited. It is assumed that you have taken representative samples on site and require analysis on a representative subsample. Stones will generally be included unless we are requested to remove them. All samples will be discarded one month after the date of reporting, unless we are instructed to the contrary. If we are instructed to keep samples, a storage charge of £1 (1.5 Euros) per sample per month will be applied until we are asked to dispose of them.
If you have not already done so, please send us a purchase order if this is required by your company. Where appropriate please make sure that our detection limits are suitable for your needs, if they are not, please notify us immediately. All analysis is reported on a dry weight basis unless stated otherwise. Results are not surrogate corrected. Samples are dried at 35°C ±5°C unless otherwise stated. Moisture content for CEN Leachate tests are dried at 105°C ±5°C. Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40. Where a CEN 10:1 ZERO Headspace VOC test has been carried out, a 10:1 ratio of water to wet (as received) soil has been used. % Asbestos in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is determined by reference to HSG 264 The Survey Guide - Appendix 2 : ACMs in buildings listed in order of ease of fibre release.
WATERS
Please note we are not a Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) Approved Laboratory . It is important that detection limits are carefully considered when requesting water analysis. UKAS accreditation applies to surface water and groundwater and one other matrix which is analysis specific, any other liquids are outside our scope of accreditation
As surface waters require different sample preparation to groundwaters the laboratory must be informed of the water type when submitting samples.
Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
DEVIATING SAMPLES
Samples must be received in a condition appropriate to the requested analyses. All samples should be submitted to the laboratory in suitable containers with sufficient ice packs to sustain an appropriate temperature for the requested analysis. If this is not the case you will be informed and any test results that may be compromised highlighted on your deviating samples report. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. SURROGATES
Surrogate compounds are added during the preparation process to monitor recovery of analytes. However low recovery in soils is often due to peat, clay or other organic rich matrices. For waters this can be due to oxidants, surfactants, organic rich sediments or remediation fluids. Acceptable limits for most organic methods are 70 - 130% and for VOCs are 50 - 150%. When surrogate recoveries are outside the performance criteria but the associated AQC passes this is assumed to be due to matrix effect. Results are not surrogate corrected.
DILUTIONS
A dilution suffix indicates a dilution has been performed and the reported result takes this into account. No further calculation is required.
NOTE
Data is only reported if the laboratory is confident that the data is a true reflection of the samples analysed. Data is only reported as accredited when all the requirements of our Quality System have been met. In certain circumstances where all the requirements of the Quality System have not been met, for instance if the associated AQC has failed, the reason is fully investigated and documented. The sample data is then evaluated alongside the other quality control checks performed during analysis to determine its suitability. Following this evaluation, provided the sample results have not been effected, the data is reported but accreditation is removed. It is a UKAS requirement for data not reported as accredited to be considered indicative only, but this does not mean the data is not valid. Where possible, and if requested, samples will be re-extracted and a revised report issued with accredited results. Please do not hesitate to contact the laboratory if further details are required of the circumstances which have led to the removal of accreditation.

SOILS
Please note we are only MCERTS accredited for sand, loam and clay and any other matrix is outside our scope of accreditation. Where an MCERTS report has been requested, you will be notified within 48 hours of any samples that have been identified as being outside our MCERTS scope. As validation has been performed on clay, sand and loam, only samples that are predominantly these matrices, or combinations of them will be within our MCERTS scope. If samples are not one of a combination of the above matrices they will not be marked as MCERTS accredited. It is assumed that you have taken representative samples on site and require analysis on a representative subsample. Stones will generally be included unless we are requested to remove them. All samples will be discarded one month after the date of reporting, unless we are instructed to the contrary. If we are instructed to keep samples, a storage charge of £1 (1.5 Euros) per sample per month will be applied until we are asked to dispose of them.
If you have not already done so, please send us a purchase order if this is required by your company. Where appropriate please make sure that our detection limits are suitable for your needs, if they are not, please notify us immediately. All analysis is reported on a dry weight basis unless stated otherwise. Results are not surrogate corrected. Samples are dried at 35°C ±5°C unless otherwise stated. Moisture content for CEN Leachate tests are dried at 105°C ±5°C. Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40. Where a CEN 10:1 ZERO Headspace VOC test has been carried out, a 10:1 ratio of water to wet (as received) soil has been used. % Asbestos in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is determined by reference to HSG 264 The Survey Guide - Appendix 2 : ACMs in buildings listed in order of ease of fibre release.
WATERS
Please note we are not a Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) Approved Laboratory . It is important that detection limits are carefully considered when requesting water analysis. UKAS accreditation applies to surface water and groundwater and one other matrix which is analysis specific, any other liquids are outside our scope of accreditation
As surface waters require different sample preparation to groundwaters the laboratory must be informed of the water type when submitting samples.
Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
DEVIATING SAMPLES
Samples must be received in a condition appropriate to the requested analyses. All samples should be submitted to the laboratory in suitable containers with sufficient ice packs to sustain an appropriate temperature for the requested analysis. If this is not the case you will be informed and any test results that may be compromised highlighted on your deviating samples report. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. SURROGATES
Surrogate compounds are added during the preparation process to monitor recovery of analytes. However low recovery in soils is often due to peat, clay or other organic rich matrices. For waters this can be due to oxidants, surfactants, organic rich sediments or remediation fluids. Acceptable limits for most organic methods are 70 - 130% and for VOCs are 50 - 150%. When surrogate recoveries are outside the performance criteria but the associated AQC passes this is assumed to be due to matrix effect. Results are not surrogate corrected.
DILUTIONS
A dilution suffix indicates a dilution has been performed and the reported result takes this into account. No further calculation is required.
NOTE
Data is only reported if the laboratory is confident that the data is a true reflection of the samples analysed. Data is only reported as accredited when all the requirements of our Quality System have been met. In certain circumstances where all the requirements of the Quality System have not been met, for instance if the associated AQC has failed, the reason is fully investigated and documented. The sample data is then evaluated alongside the other quality control checks performed during analysis to determine its suitability. Following this evaluation, provided the sample results have not been effected, the data is reported but accreditation is removed. It is a UKAS requirement for data not reported as accredited to be considered indicative only, but this does not mean the data is not valid. Where possible, and if requested, samples will be re-extracted and a revised report issued with accredited results. Please do not hesitate to contact the laboratory if further details are required of the circumstances which have led to the removal of accreditation.

SOILS
Please note we are only MCERTS accredited (UK soils only) for sand, loam and clay and any other matrix is outside our scope of accreditation.
Where an MCERTS report has been requested, you will be notified within 48 hours of any samples that have been identified as being outside our MCERTS scope. As validation has been performed on clay, sand and loam, only samples that are predominantly these matrices, or combinations of them will be within our MCERTS scope. If samples are not one of a combination of the above matrices they will not be marked as MCERTS accredited. It is assumed that you have taken representative samples on site and require analysis on a representative subsample. Stones will generally be included unless we are requested to remove them. All samples will be discarded one month after the date of reporting, unless we are instructed to the contrary. If you have not already done so, please send us a purchase order if this is required by your company. Where appropriate please make sure that our detection limits are suitable for your needs, if they are not, please notify us immediately. All analysis is reported on a dry weight basis unless stated otherwise. Results are not surrogate corrected. Samples are dried at 35°C ±5°C unless otherwise stated. Moisture content for CEN Leachate tests are dried at 105°C ±5°C. Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40. Where a CEN 10:1 ZERO Headspace VOC test has been carried out, a 10:1 ratio of water to wet (as received) soil has been used. % Asbestos in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is determined by reference to HSG 264 The Survey Guide - Appendix 2 : ACMs in buildings listed in order of ease of fibre release.
WATERS
Please note we are not a UK Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) Approved Laboratory .
ISO17025 (UKAS) accreditation applies to surface water and groundwater and one other matrix which is analysis specific, any other liquids are outside our scope of accreditation.
As surface waters require different sample preparation to groundwaters the laboratory must be informed of the water type when submitting samples.
Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
DEVIATING SAMPLES
Samples must be received in a condition appropriate to the requested analyses. All samples should be submitted to the laboratory in suitable containers with sufficient ice packs to sustain an appropriate temperature for the requested analysis. If this is not the case you will be informed and any test results that may be compromised highlighted on your deviating samples report. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. SURROGATES
Surrogate compounds are added during the preparation process to monitor recovery of analytes. However low recovery in soils is often due to peat, clay or other organic rich matrices. For waters this can be due to oxidants, surfactants, organic rich sediments or remediation fluids. Acceptable limits for most organic methods are 70 - 130% and for VOCs are 50 - 150%. When surrogate recoveries are outside the performance criteria but the associated AQC passes this is assumed to be due to matrix effect. Results are not surrogate corrected.
DILUTIONS
A dilution suffix indicates a dilution has been performed and the reported result takes this into account. No further calculation is required.
NOTE
Data is only reported if the laboratory is confident that the data is a true reflection of the samples analysed. Data is only reported as accredited when all the requirements of our Quality System have been met. In certain circumstances where all the requirements of the Quality System have not been met, for instance if the associated AQC has failed, the reason is fully investigated and documented. The sample data is then evaluated alongside the other quality control checks performed during analysis to determine its suitability. Following this evaluation, provided the sample results have not been effected, the data is reported but accreditation is removed. It is a UKAS requirement for data not reported as accredited to be considered indicative only, but this does not mean the data is not valid. Where possible, and if requested, samples will be re-extracted and a revised report issued with accredited results. Please do not hesitate to contact the laboratory if further details are required of the circumstances which have led to the removal of accreditation.

All samples will be discarded one month after the date of reporting, unless we are instructed to the contrary. If we are instructed to keep samples, a storage charge of £1 (1.5 Euros) per sample per month will be applied until we are asked to dispose of them.
If you have not already done so, please send us a purchase order if this is required by your company. Where appropriate please make sure that our detection limits are suitable for your needs, if they are not, please notify us immediately. All analysis is reported on a dry weight basis unless stated otherwise. Results are not surrogate corrected. Samples are dried at 35°C ±5°C unless otherwise stated. Moisture content for CEN Leachate tests are dried at 105°C ±5°C. Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40. Where a CEN 10:1 ZERO Headspace VOC test has been carried out, a 10:1 ratio of water to wet (as received) soil has been used. % Asbestos in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is determined by reference to HSG 264 The Survey Guide - Appendix 2 : ACMs in buildings listed in order of ease of fibre release.
WATERS
Please note we are not a Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) Approved Laboratory . It is important that detection limits are carefully considered when requesting water analysis. UKAS accreditation applies to surface water and groundwater and one other matrix which is analysis specific, any other liquids are outside our scope of accreditation
As surface waters require different sample preparation to groundwaters the laboratory must be informed of the water type when submitting samples.
Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
DEVIATING SAMPLES
Samples must be received in a condition appropriate to the requested analyses. All samples should be submitted to the laboratory in suitable containers with sufficient ice packs to sustain an appropriate temperature for the requested analysis. If this is not the case you will be informed and any test results that may be compromised highlighted on your deviating samples report. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. SURROGATES
Surrogate compounds are added during the preparation process to monitor recovery of analytes. However low recovery in soils is often due to peat, clay or other organic rich matrices. For waters this can be due to oxidants, surfactants, organic rich sediments or remediation fluids. Acceptable limits for most organic methods are 70 - 130% and for VOCs are 50 - 150%. When surrogate recoveries are outside the performance criteria but the associated AQC passes this is assumed to be due to matrix effect. Results are not surrogate corrected.
DILUTIONS
A dilution suffix indicates a dilution has been performed and the reported result takes this into account. No further calculation is required.
NOTE
Data is only reported if the laboratory is confident that the data is a true reflection of the samples analysed. Data is only reported as accredited when all the requirements of our Quality System have been met. In certain circumstances where all the requirements of the Quality System have not been met, for instance if the associated AQC has failed, the reason is fully investigated and documented. The sample data is then evaluated alongside the other quality control checks performed during analysis to determine its suitability. Following this evaluation, provided the sample results have not been effected, the data is reported but accreditation is removed. It is a UKAS requirement for data not reported as accredited to be considered indicative only, but this does not mean the data is not valid. Where possible, and if requested, samples will be re-extracted and a revised report issued with accredited results. Please do not hesitate to contact the laboratory if further details are required of the circumstances which have led to the removal of accreditation.

Where an MCERTS report has been requested, you will be notified within 48 hours of any samples that have been identified as being outside our MCERTS scope. As validation has been performed on clay, sand and loam, only samples that are predominantly these matrices, or combinations of them will be within our MCERTS scope. If samples are not one of a combination of the above matrices they will not be marked as MCERTS accredited. It is assumed that you have taken representative samples on site and require analysis on a representative subsample. Stones will generally be included unless we are requested to remove them. All samples will be discarded one month after the date of reporting, unless we are instructed to the contrary. If you have not already done so, please send us a purchase order if this is required by your company. Where appropriate please make sure that our detection limits are suitable for your needs, if they are not, please notify us immediately. All analysis is reported on a dry weight basis unless stated otherwise. Results are not surrogate corrected. Samples are dried at 35°C ±5°C unless otherwise stated. Moisture content for CEN Leachate tests are dried at 105°C ±5°C. Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40. Where a CEN 10:1 ZERO Headspace VOC test has been carried out, a 10:1 ratio of water to wet (as received) soil has been used. % Asbestos in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is determined by reference to HSG 264 The Survey Guide - Appendix 2 : ACMs in buildings listed in order of ease of fibre release.
WATERS
Please note we are not a UK Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) Approved Laboratory .
ISO17025 (UKAS) accreditation applies to surface water and groundwater and one other matrix which is analysis specific, any other liquids are outside our scope of accreditation.
As surface waters require different sample preparation to groundwaters the laboratory must be informed of the water type when submitting samples.
Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
DEVIATING SAMPLES
Samples must be received in a condition appropriate to the requested analyses. All samples should be submitted to the laboratory in suitable containers with sufficient ice packs to sustain an appropriate temperature for the requested analysis. If this is not the case you will be informed and any test results that may be compromised highlighted on your deviating samples report. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. SURROGATES
Surrogate compounds are added during the preparation process to monitor recovery of analytes. However low recovery in soils is often due to peat, clay or other organic rich matrices. For waters this can be due to oxidants, surfactants, organic rich sediments or remediation fluids. Acceptable limits for most organic methods are 70 - 130% and for VOCs are 50 - 150%. When surrogate recoveries are outside the performance criteria but the associated AQC passes this is assumed to be due to matrix effect. Results are not surrogate corrected.
DILUTIONS
A dilution suffix indicates a dilution has been performed and the reported result takes this into account. No further calculation is required.
NOTE
Data is only reported if the laboratory is confident that the data is a true reflection of the samples analysed. Data is only reported as accredited when all the requirements of our Quality System have been met. In certain circumstances where all the requirements of the Quality System have not been met, for instance if the associated AQC has failed, the reason is fully investigated and documented. The sample data is then evaluated alongside the other quality control checks performed during analysis to determine its suitability. Following this evaluation, provided the sample results have not been effected, the data is reported but accreditation is removed. It is a UKAS requirement for data not reported as accredited to be considered indicative only, but this does not mean the data is not valid. Where possible, and if requested, samples will be re-extracted and a revised report issued with accredited results. Please do not hesitate to contact the laboratory if further details are required of the circumstances which have led to the removal of accreditation.

EPA Export 20-01-2016:01:03:27 1 Introduction
1.1 Damian Brosnan Acoustics was instructed by Cuthbert Environmental, on behalf of their client Galway Metal Company (GMC), to carry out an environmental noise survey at the latter's scrap metal processing facility at Carrowmonesh, Oranmore, Co. Galway. The objectives of the survey were as follows:
To undertake noise monitoring in accordance with International Standard ISO 1996-2 Acoustics – Description, measurement and assessment of environmental noise, Part 2: Determination of environmental noise levels (2007). To measure noise levels at four offsite monitoring stations (appendix 1) used previously, selected to represent the nearest noise sensitive locations to the facility. To assess measured levels in the context of noise conditions (appendix 2) attached to waste facility permit WFP-G-11-0005-01 issued 11.07.11 by Galway County Council in respect of the facility.
1.2 The noise survey was undertaken Tuesday 09.06.15. Survey methodology, equipment specifications and weather conditions are listed in appendix 3. As the GMC facility does not operate at night, the survey was confined to daytime hours.
1.3 Operations proceeded at the GMC facility throughout the survey. Noise emissions arose from the following onsite sources:
Two mobile grabs operating throughout survey apart from period 1000-1030 h. ELV baler operating throughout most of survey. Several small mobile plant, including forklift trucks.
Trucks, vans and cars intermittently accessing For inspection facility. purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. Metal manipulation, unloading, etc.
2 Results
2.1 Noise data recorded are presented in appendix 4, and summarised in table 1 over. Frequency spectra and time history profiles are shown in appendix 5. Masking by road traffic noise prevented accurate determination of GMC contributions where audible, allowing only calculation of ‘less than’ values.
2.2 Stations N1 and N2 are located to the northeast and northwest of the GMC facility, near local dwelling clusters.
LAeq 30 min levels measured were 40 and 52 dB respectively, arising chiefly from N18 road traffic noise. Noise emissions from the GMC facility were slightly audible on occasion at N1, giving rise to an estimated contribution of less than 35 dB, and thus lower than the 55 dB limit specified in condition 8.10 of permit WFP-G-11-0005-01. GMC emissions were not audible at N2.

2.3 GMC emissions were slightly audible at N3 and N4. The LAeq 30 min level measured at both was 41 dB, dominated by road traffic noise. GMC emissions were estimated at less than 36 dB at N3 and less than 33 dB at N4.
2.4 No clearly audible tonal or impulsive components were noted in facility emissions at any of the noise stations, thus complying with condition 8.11 of permit WFP-G-11-0005-01. Frequency spectra presented in appendix 5 confirm the absence of tones.

EPA Export 20-01-2016:01:03:27 Appendix 6: Glossary
Ambient Total noise environment at a location, including all sounds present.
A-weighting Weighting or adjustment applied to sound level to approximate non-linear frequency response of human ear. Denoted by suffix A in parameters such as LAeq T,LAF10 T, etc.
Background level A-weighted sound pressure level of residual noise exceeded for 90 % of time interval T. Denoted LAF90 T.
Broadband Noise which contains roughly equal energy across frequency spectrum. Does not contain tones, and is generally less annoying than tonal noise.
Decibel (dB) Unit of noise measurement scale. Based on logarithmic scale so cannot be simply added or subtracted. 3 dB difference is smallest change perceptible to human ear. 10 dB difference is perceived as doubling or halving of sound level. Examples of decibel levels are as follows: 20 dB: very quiet room; 30-35 dB: night-time rural environment; 55-65 dB: conversation; 80 dB: busy pub; 100 dB: nightclub. Throughout this report noise levels are presented as decibels relative to 20 µPa.
Fast response 0.125 seconds response time of sound level meter to changing noise levels. Denoted by suffix F in parameters such as LAF10 T,LAF90 T, etc.
Free field Noise environment away from all surfaces other than ground ie. outside near field.
Frequency Number of cycles per second of a sound or vibration wave. Low frequency noise may be perceived as hum, while whine represents higher frequency. Range of human hearing approaches 20-20,000 Hertz.
Hertz (Hz) Unit of frequency measurement.
Impulse Noise which is of short duration, typically less than one second, sound pressure level of which is significantly higher than background.
Interval Time period T over which noise parameters are measured at position. Denoted by T in LAeq T,LAF90 T, etc.
LAeq T Equivalent continuous sound pressure level during interval T, effectively representing average A- weighted noise level.
LAF10 T Sound pressure level exceeded for 10% of interval T, usually used to quantify traffic noise.
LAF90 T Sound pressure level exceeded for 90% of interval T, usually used to quantify background noise. May also be used to describe noise level from continuous steady or almost-steady source, particularly where local noise environment fluctuates. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. LReq T Rating noise level, derived from LAeq T plus specified adjustments for tonal and impulsive characteristics. Equivalent to LAr T used by EPA.
Masking The rendering inaudible of one noise source by another noise source(s) which may be louder, or may contain significant acoustic energy in the same part of the frequency spectrum. In the latter case, any tone(s) in the original source emissions may become inaudible.
Noise sensitive location Any dwelling house, hotel or hostel, health building, educational establishment, place of worship or entertainment, or any other facility or area of high amenity which for its proper enjoyment requires absence of noise at nuisance levels.
1/3 octave band Frequency spectrum may be divided into octave bands. Upper limit of each octave is twice lower limit. Each octave may be subdivided into thirds, allowing greater analysis of tones.
Residual level Noise level remaining when specific source is absent or does not contribute to ambient.
Specific level LAeq T level produced by specific noise source under consideration during interval T, measured directly or by estimation or calculation.
Tone Character of noise caused by dominance of one or more frequencies which may result in increased noise nuisance.
Z-weighting Standard weighting applied by sound level meters to represent linear scale. Denoted by suffix Z in parameters such as LZeq T,LZF90 T, etc. used to describe 1/3 octave band levels in frequency spectra.
In this report units are generally presented using US National Institute Of Standards & Technology guidelines.

It is normal practice to adjust or calibrate such instruments at the start of the monitoring session so that, for example, the instrument reads zero (the zero check) when not exposed to the parameter of interest (e.g. TOC as C) or reads 75 ppm when exposed to calibration gas of 75 ppm (the span check). These are referred to as the initial readings.

(now trading as Clearcircle Metals) was granted a waste facility permit by Limerick City Council for the recycling and recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and end of life vehicles (ELVs) at its facility on the Ballysimon Road, Limerick. The waste facility permit reference WFP-LKC-11-001-01 was granted in accordance with the Waste Management (facility permit and regulations) 2007, as amended and is valid from the 1st April 2011 to 31st March 2016. Under Condition 8.5.3 of the waste facility permit, Hegarty Metals Processers (International) Ltd. is required to undertake a dust survey for deposit dust and suspended particulate matter. Schedule F2 states that dust monitoring is to be undertaken 3 times annually and at least two samples of which are to be taken between the periods May to September. This report pertains to deposit dust monitoring undertaken at two pre-agreed monitoring locations onsite during January and February 2015 period. The monitoring was undertaken using the standard Bergerhoff Instrument Method and is expressed based on a 30 day (2 days) composite sample with results expressed as mg/m2/day with a emission limit value of 350 mg/m2/day specified. In accordance with Schedule D of the permit, reporting of all dust monitoring is to be For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. undertaken on a quarterly basis and as complaints occur. Environmental Efficiency Consultants Limited was commissioned by Hegarty Metals Processers (International) Ltd. to carry out dust deposition monitoring and report on a quarterly reporting basis the results of the subject monitoring. 2. Dust Monitoring Methodology This report has been undertaken in accordance with the German TA Luft dust deposition guidelines (Standard Method VD2119) as specified under Condition 8.5.3 if the waste facility permit. The TA Luft dust deposition limits values are in keeping with the requirements of the waste permit condition i.e. 350 milligram per square metre per day (when averaged over a 30-day period). The dust deposition on site was measured using Bergerhoff Dust Deposit Environmental Efficiency Document No.: 385-51 v1.00 Page 4 of 7 EPA Export 20-01-2016:01:03:28 Hegarty Metal Processors Ltd. Environmental Dust Monitoring Report 1 of 2015 WFP-LKC-11-001-01 Gauges. The gauges construction and aperture size is in accordance with the German standard VDI 2119. Two dust gauges were set up, one at a central position on-site by the site office, and the second dust deposition gauge adjacent to the northern site boundary, at a point adjacent to the closest sensitive receptor as indicated in the site map. The gauges were in position for a total of 30 days.
