1 INTRODUCTION

Licensee: St. James’s Gate Brewery

Location of Activity: St. James’s Gate, Dublin 8

Licence Register Number: P0301-01

The St. James’s Gate Brewery (SJGB) is based in Dublin at National Grid Reference

E310488, N233869. It covers an area circa 24 hectares.

The Brewery was granted an Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) licence on the 4th

July 2000.

This licence was converted to an Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Licence

on 9th

November 2005 through the addition of Amendment A to the licence. In December

2011, the Brewery applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a review of its

licence to accommodate the installation of a third roasting plant at the site.

Condition 2.9.2 of the licence requires the Brewery to prepare an Annual Environmental

Report (AER) for submission to the Agency.

This report, in compliance with condition 2.9.2 of the IPPC licence, details the environmental

performance at the site for the period January to December 2011 and has been prepared in

accordance with the Guidance Note for Annual Environmental Reports, published in October

2000.

1.1 Description of Activity

1.1.1 St. James’s Gate Brewery

The Brewery is engaged in the brewing of stout for the UK, Irish, mainland Europe and North

American market. Following the closure of the Guinness Park Royal Brewery in London in

mid-2005, all UK stout production was transferred to St. James’s Gate. As a consequence the

St. James’s Gate site underwent a capacity expansion programme during 2005.

In July 2010, kegging of all stout ales and lagers in the Island of Ireland Diageo portfolio was

transferred from the St. Francis Abbey Brewery, Kilkenny, and the Great Northern Brewery,

Dundalk, to the St. James’s Gate Brewery. High gravity beer is now blended, nitrogenated

and carbonated en route from the Fermentation Plant to the Keg Plant. As a result of the

consolidation of keg plant operations, the logistics operations were reorganised to cater for

the increase in activity.

Stout is produced using traditional brewing materials: malt, barley, roast barley, hops, water and

yeast. In the Brewhouse, malt and barley are milled into coarse flour (grist), keeping the barley

husk material as intact as possible. The milled grist is then mixed with hot water in a process

known as mashing, in which the starches in the malt are converted into fermentable sugars. The

porridge-like mash is transferred to a kieve and the sweet wort is filtered off to a third vessel, the

kettle.

In the kettle, hop extract is added and the wort is boiled. The hops are used to give bitterness,

aroma, flavour and some preservative value to the beer, while roast barley provides the unique


Diageo Ireland


colour and some of the flavour components of Stout. After boiling in the kettle the wort is

decanted and pumped, with cooling en route, to the Fermentation Plant.

The Fermentation Plant receives chilled stout wort directly from the Brewhouse. Yeast is added

to carry out the primary fermentation, converting the sugars in the wort into alcohol and carbon

dioxide, which is a by-product of the fermentation process. Afterwards, stout is centrifuged to

remove the yeast and the green beer is matured in Maturation Vessels, clarified and blended to

Bright Beer Tanks for subsequent packaging in the Keg Plant or despatch in bulk from the Tank

Station.

In the Keg Plant, beer from Bright Beer Tanks is pasteurised before racking into four sizes of

kegs (60, 50, 30 and 20 litres) for distribution to the domestic and export markets or is

dispatched in bulk via tankers to packaging sites within Guinness Supply in Ireland and UK.

Beer is produced 24 hours per day and 365 days per year.

1.1.2 Beverage Blending Agents Plant

The Plant consists of a Brewhouse, evaporation/concentration unit, a storage tank farm and a

packaging facility. It is designed to produce a concentrate, which is exported to over 50

countries worldwide. The concentrate is produced using malt, roast barley, yeast, hops and

water. It will go on to produce bottle, canned and draught products wherever Guinness stout

is sold.

The product is exported in Unitanks, flexitanks and road tankers via Dublin port.

1.2 Management Structures

The St. James’s Gate Brewery is part of Diageo Global Supply, which in turn is a subsidiary

of Diageo plc.

The Brewery has a structured management approach to the operation of the business in terms

of product quality, environment, process control, safety and analytical capability.

Management systems for quality, environment, energy, safety and food safety are audited on

an on-going basis through internal audits and external third-party surveillance audits.

Registration to specific management systems has been achieved as follows:

ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management

ISO 14001 Environmental Management

EN 16001:2009 Energy Management Standard

ISO 22000 Food Safety Management

OHSAS 18001 OH&S Occupational Health and Safety Management

2 SUMMARY INFORMATION

2.1 Self Monitoring Data

Except where otherwise stated, summary information is provided for the period from January

2011 to December 2011 inclusive, as specified in the EPA’s Guidance Note for Annual

Environmental Reports. The information is presented in line with the Guidance Note as an

annualised mass emission figure, derived from the average measured mass emission value

multiplied by the duration of the emission.

2.1.1 Emissions to Sewer

The following sub-sections present the Brewery’s self monitoring data for emissions to sewer

at the three emission points (SE-1, SE-2 and SE-3) during 2011.

2.1.1.1 Overview

There are three licensed emission points to sewer from the site: SE-1, SE-2 and SE-3. The

discharge from SE-1 consists of process effluent and surface water run-off and is screened

and then pH-adjusted in the on-site Effluent Neutralisation Plant before being discharged to

the Dublin City Council sewer for final treatment in the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment

Plant. In late 2005, the process emission from SE-2 was diverted to the Effluent

Neutralisation Plant, ultimately discharging via SE-1. The discharge of process emissions

from SE-3 was also discontinued in late 2005 and only surface water run-off has been

discharged from this point since then.

During 2011, there was an increase in total site activity of approximately 14% due to an

increase in kegging and an increase in demand for exported product. This increase in activity

resulted in an increase in both effluent volume and BOD effluent load, although the specific

effluent volume has reduced and the specific BOD load has remained unchanged, compared

to 2010.

In addition, as the Brewery has implemented an aggressive water reduction programme at the

site, which has resulted in significant reductions in water consumption, the buffering capacity

in the effluent stream discharged via SE-1 has reduced. The Brewery has advised the Agency

of the impacts of the water reduction programme on the effluent discharged from the site and

has engaged with Dublin City Council in relation to the limits on effluent set out in the

current licence. In its application for a review of the licence, submitted to the Agency in

December 2011, the Brewery set out its proposals for revisions to the limits to reflect the

nature of the operations at the site.

In November 2009, the Brewery submitted a proposal to the Agency to reduce the frequency

of monitoring at SE-2 and SE-3 from daily to monthly. In December 2009, the Agency

agreed to this proposal and therefore from 2010 onwards the monitoring frequency for SE-2

and SE-3 has been reduced to a monthly frequency.

Samples from all three emission points are collected on a 24-hour flow-proportional

composite basis and are monitored for the parameters set out in Table 1.

Note 1: Compliance is assessed in accordance with Condition 3.3.2 of the licence.

The non-compliances shown in Table 5 were attributable to a combination of factors,

including the reduction in effluent flow arising from the water usage reduction initiatives

(refer to Sections 2.1.1.1 and 2.3.2), which results in higher concentration effluent; and

production activities (e.g. accidental release of small quantities of product).

Emission Point SE-1 – COD

There was one non-compliance in relation to emissions of COD from SE-1 during 2011, as

summarised in Table 6. This was attributed to higher daily concentrations during the month

related to the water reduction programmes at the site (refer to Sections 2.1.1.1 and 2.3.2).

There was a single non-compliance in relation to Suspended Solids at emission point SE-1 in

2011. This was attributed to a failure of the drain lining, which was subsequently repaired.

Emission Point SE-1 – pH

There were seven non-compliances in relation to pH at SE-1 during 2011, as summarised in

Table 8. The causes of these non-compliances are summarises in Table 22 and relate to our

water reduction programmes which have reduced the buffering capacity of the effluent

stream. As set out in Section 2.1.1.1, the Brewery has applied to the Agency for a review of

its licence and within this application it has set out its proposal for revisions to the limits on

discharges to sewer, including pH, to reflect the nature of the operations at the site. Refer

also to Sections 2.1.1.1 and 2.3.2.

2.1.2 Emissions to Water

There is a single licensed emission point to water from the site, SW-1, which discharges to

the River Liffey. Up to March 2007, this emission point discharged cooling water which

originated from an underground well at the site. However, in March 2007, the discharge of

cooling water ceased and since then only surface water has been discharged via an interceptor

at SW-1.

The licence requires that flow, temperature and pH are monitored on a continuous basis; that

BOD and COD are monitored on a monthly basis; that suspended solids, sulphates (as SO4),

fats, oils and grease, detergents (as MBAS), ammoniacal nitrogen, total oxidised nitrogen,

total phosphorus (as P) and heavy metals are monitored on a quarterly basis; and that

pesticides and biocides are monitored annually at SW-1.

In addition, the licence requires monitoring at two locations in the river upstream (ASW-2)

and downstream (ASW-3) of SW-1.

However, since there is no longer any process emission to surface water from SW-1,

monitoring at this location has been discontinued. The Brewery continues to carry out

monitoring at the two ambient monitoring locations (ASW-2 and ASW-3) in accordance with


Diageo Ireland


the conditions set out in the licence. The results of this monitoring are summarised in Table

2.1.3 Emissions to Atmosphere

The following subsections summarise the emissions to atmosphere from our licensed

emission points at the Combined Heat & Power Plant (A1-3, A1-4, A1-5, A1-6 and A1-7),

the afterburners in the Roasthouse (A2-1 and A2-2) and the grain intake area (A2-3, A2-4 and

A2-5).

2.1.3.1 Combined Heat & Power Plant

There are three main emission points associated with the three CHP turbines (A1-3, A1-4 and

A1-5), each of which is monitored for Nitrogen Oxides (as NO2) on an annual basis. There is

also a bypass stack on Turbine 1 (A1-6) and a stand-by boiler (A1-7), which are monitored

for Nitrogen Oxides on an annual basis.

Monitoring of the emissions from emission points A1-3, A1-4, A1-5, A1-6 and A1-7 was

carried out in June 2011. Table 13 summarises the monitoring results.

Note 1: The mass emission is based upon the measured concentration, the maximum volumetric flow rate and

the operational hours for each stack.

Note 2: A1-6 is the bypass stack on Turbine 1 (A1-3) and only operates at low load.

There were no non-compliances of emissions to atmosphere from the CHP plant during 2011,

with an overall reduction in NOX mass emissions of approximately 11%, compared to 2010.

Table 14 summarises the performance of the CHP plant during 2011.

2.1.4 Waste Management

Condition 8.3 of the licence requires the Brewery to maintain a waste register to record the

following details:

(a) The names of the agent and transporter of the waste.

(b) The name of the persons responsible for the ultimate disposal / recovery of the waste.

(c) The ultimate destination of the waste.

(d) Written confirmation of the acceptance and disposal / recovery of any hazardous

waste consignments sent off-site.

(e) The tonnages and EWC Code for the waste materials listed in Schedule 4(i)

Hazardous Wastes for Disposal / Recovery and Schedule 4(ii) Other Wastes for

Disposal / Recovery, sent off-site for disposal / recovery.

(f) Details of any rejected consignments.

Table 17 presents a summary of the annual waste arisings for hazardous and non-hazardous

wastes at the Brewery. There were no rejected consignments in 2011.

As can be seen from Table 17, during 2011 a large quantity of construction and demolition

waste was generated at the site. This waste was generated as part of demolition works within

the Lower Level and for developments on site.

2.2 Monitoring and Enforcement

2.2.1 Agency Site Audit

The Agency carried out two site inspections during 2011. On 8th

April 2011, the Agency

visited the site and in its Site Inspection Report identified three non-compliances in relation

to the conditions of the licence, and a single observation. The Brewery responded to the

Agency’s Site Inspection Report on 25th

May, setting out corrective actions for each of the

non-compliances and observations, including the target date for completion and the status of

the actions that had already been closed out.

On 22nd

December 2011, the Agency visited the site and carried out a Site Inspection in

relation to the repair works at the effluent neutralisation plant advised to the Agency (and

reported in Table 22). In its Site Inspection Report, the Agency noted a single observation in

relation to the repair works.

2.2.2 Agency Monitoring – Emissions to Sewer

The Agency visited the site in February, August and November 2011 and collected grab

samples from emission point SE-1. The results of these grab samples are summarised in

Table 18, with the corresponding results from the Brewery’s analysis also shown.

In September 2002, the Brewery joined the EPA laboratory inter-calibration scheme. Results

to date for the Brewery in the scheme have indicated that the Brewery is analysing at the

same level versus its peers in the scheme.

2.3.2 Water Consumption

Water (Town and Service) is supplied to the site by Dublin City Council. Town (Potable)

Water is used during the brewing process. Service Water is used in fire hoses and other

ancillary activities.

Historically, cooling water has been drawn from an underground well on site; however, since

March 2007 this cooling water has no longer been in use, with the cooling water replaced by

an alternative cooling medium. Specific water consumption at the site is summarised in

Table 21.

2.4 Environmental Incidents and Complaints

2.4.1 Environmental Incidents

Table 22 summarises the environmental incidents that occurred during 2011, setting out the

cause and corrective action, and identifying the relevant authorities that were notified of the

incident.

The majority of the incidents that arose during 2011 are attributable to the successful

implementation of a number of initiatives to reduce water usage at the site over the last

number of years. This reduction in water use has resulted in higher concentration effluent

and a reduction in buffering capacity for pH and temperature fluctuations, although the

overall effluent load has remained consistent.

The Brewery has notified the Agency of the impact of the reduced water usage and has

engaged with Dublin City Council. As part of the licence review process that commenced in

the fourth quarter of 2011, the Brewery submitted its proposal for revised licence limits in its

application. The proposed amendments to the licence limits reflect the changes that have

taken place at the Brewery since the licence was first granted.

3 MANAGEMENT OF THE ACTIVITY

3.1 Environmental & Energy Management Plan

St. James’s Gate Brewery is certified to the International Standard for Environmental

Management Systems (ISO 14001), and to the Energy Management System standard

EN 16001. The Environmental & Energy Management Plan for 2011 is a combined plan

covering both Environmental and Energy targets. It defines a set of objectives and targets for

the company to work towards. Of its nature, it is liable to alteration in the light of changing

circumstances and the company’s future plans. It is also subject to revision from time to time

and proposals, plans, targets and goals may vary accordingly. Therefore, progress on a

particular objective or target is subject to change. Progress on the objectives and targets

achieved during the previous year is reported in the Annual Environmental Report.

In addition to the EEMP, a Register of Opportunities (or Ideas Log) is maintained for

potential Energy Usage reduction initiatives. The process by which ideas are generated,

sourced, captured, reviewed and assessed for progression is shown in Figure 10.

3.2.1 Report on Environmental & Energy Management Programme for 2011

The following tables proved a report on our Environmental and Energy Management

Programme for 2011.


Diageo Ireland


Objective 1.0 To protect soil, surface waters and groundwater from pollution.

Rationale Specific requirements relating to the protection of groundwater and surface water are contained in Diageo St. James’s Gate Brewery’s IPPC Licence

Reg. No. P0301-01.

No. Target Plan Comment

1.1 To carry out a comprehensive

hydrogeological monitoring

programme for the site to identify

any soil and groundwater

contamination.

Continue with the bi-annual sampling programme. Review

sampling requirements with the Agency.

On-going sampling at the monitoring locations was

completed in 2011.

1.2 To undertake a programme of

remedial work on foul sewer

pipelines and storage tanks.

Continue to implement a programme of remedial work on

foul sewer pipelines and storage tanks in St. James’s Gate.

Carry out repair work from CCTV survey phase 2 & 3.

The remedial work from the recommendations in Phase 1 of

the programme is continuing, with approximately 90% of

the works completed.

A CCTV survey of the remaining works phases (Phases 2 &

3) was carried out during 2011. Phase 2 of the investigation

work was completed and Phase 3 commenced and will be

completed during 2012.

1.3 To protect soil, surface waters and

groundwater from contamination

from materials stored on the site.

Initiate the second round of the 3-yearly bund survey. All

new bunds on site to comply with new procedure. Bund

log to be reviewed.

A programme of integrity testing of the bunds at the site

commenced in 2011 and the programme will be completed

during 2012.

1.4 To improve the identification of the

foul sewer system from the surface

water drainage system.

Implement a programme of colour coding all manholes on

site as proposed by the agency in January 10. First stage of

review has identified approx 1200 manholes and 800

gullies for colour coding.

A programme to update the identification of all of the

manholes at the site commenced during 2011, following

establishment of an uniform labelling structure throughout

the site. The programme has been implemented in the

Upper Level, with the identification tags installed.

1.5 Reduce the potential for

uncontrolled release from the site.

Identify unmonitored emission points from the site and

implement a procedure for protection of these outfalls

from uncontrolled releases.

All non-licensed emission points were identified and manual

drain protection devices (covers) were purchased to protect

the manholes in the event of an incident. The emission

points were assessed to identify those requiring an increased

level of protection and the options for providing such

protection were identified and are being assessed.


Diageo Ireland


Objective 2.0 To improve control of air emissions from the site.

Rationale Conditions 5 and 11 of Diageo St. James’s Gate Brewery’s IPPC Licence requires the company to prepare proposals for the reduction of certain

emissions to atmosphere and prepare air quality monitoring programmes.


2.1 To sustain the improved ratio of

CO2 recovery to enable the site to

maximise the sale of excess CO2

per annum.

Sustain improved Fermentation control and maximise FBP

CO2 recovery to RWE CO2 collection plant.

Explore options to find external buyer of CO2.

As reported in the 2010 AER, since July 2010, the Great

Northern Brewery and St Francis Abbey Brewery no longer

require CO2. Fermentation control has been maximised and

the installation of an additional meter has improved

quantification of secondary CO2. The project is ongoing.

An agreement has been put in place with a buyer for excess

CO2 produced at the site. The agreement has been in place

since July 2011.


Diageo Ireland


Objective 3.0 To implement the site Waste Management Strategy 2006-2007.

Rationale In line with European and Irish waste management policy Guinness is striving to introduce the prevention and reduction of waste as far as practical.

Condition 8.3 of Guinness Ireland’s IPC Licence (Reg. No. P0301-01) required the company to develop and maintain a site management record.


3.1 Strive to achieve zero waste to

landfill.

Continue to build employee awareness of the principles of

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Use the GreenIQ team to

communicate through Insight, the Facilities Newsletter and

Environmental Day. Work with waste contract companies

to ensure waste is routed away from landfill.

Work has continued with waste contractors to identify

additional recovery and recycling routes. During 2011, an

recycling route was identified for the keg caps from the keg

plant.

3.2 Reduce overall quantities of waste

Condition 9.3 of the licence requires that activities on-site shall not give rise to noise levels

off-site, at noise sensitive locations, which exceed the following sound pressure limits, subject

to Condition 3 of this licence:

Daytime: 55 dB(A) Leq, 30 minutes

Night-time: 45 dB(A) Leq, 15 minutes

Locations 1 to 7 in Table 24 are designated as Noise Sensitive Locations. Due to the location

of the Brewery within a city centre, noise levels measured at these locations may be

attributable to non-Brewery, off site activities, including traffic.

During the 2011 daytime survey, off site traffic was identified as the dominant noise source at

locations 1, 4, 5 and 6. For locations 2, 3 and 7 the plant noise was detected during periods of

low traffic activity outside the site, although at location 7 the noise attributable to the site was

only barely audible. For the night-time surveys, off site traffic was identified as the dominant

noise source at location 1. For locations 2, 3, 4 and 7, noise from the site was detectable

during periods of low traffic activity outside the site.

The annual noise monitoring report concluded that during the day-time survey, the noise

attributable to the site was below the limit set out in the licence, while during the night-time

survey the noise from the site measured along Watling Street was marginally higher than the

licence limit.


Diageo Ireland


4.1.2 Noise Reduction Programme

be undertaken during 2012 to assess the level of noise and, where identified, to reduce off site

noise levels:

A detailed noise survey of the Lower Level;

Design of the new brewery to minimise noise emissions;

Continuation of the site’s ongoing on noise reduction programme.

4.2 Testing and Inspection of Underground Tanks and Pipelines

4.2.1 Bunding

As part of the bund integrity programme, bund integrity tests commenced in 2007 and were

completed in 2008. During 2009, the bund data sheets were reviewed and updated in light of

changes in their use in recent years.

In 2010, the bund integrity testing programme was reviewed and updated. The next round of

testing began in 2011 and will continue into 2012. As set out in the Brewery’s

Environmental Management Programme, it is planned to develop a bund inspection schedule

within the site’s business management software (SAP).

4.2.2 Pipelines

During 2009, Phase 1 of the remedial works programme on the foul sewer pipelines was

completed, which included a survey of all of the manholes previously identified. Phase 2 of

the programme was developed during 2010, which included a CCTV survey and completion

of additional remedial works identified during Phase 1. Approximately 70% of the remedial

work was completed during 2010, with a further 20% completed during 2011 as the specific

areas requiring work become available. The final 10% of the remedial works are scheduled

for completion during 2012. A CCTV survey of the remaining works phases (Phases 2 & 3)

was carried out during 2011. Phase 2 of the investigation work was completed and Phase 3

commenced and will be completed during 2012.


Diageo Ireland


4.3 Hydrogeological Investigation

In compliance with Condition 10.3.3 of the licence, a hydrogeological investigation of the

site took place between November 2005 and January 2006. Soil samples and groundwater

samples were collected, the results were reviewed, and a submission made to the Agency

regarding ongoing monitoring.

A programme of quarterly sampling for a range of potential contaminants was agreed with

the Agency. Following the monitoring programme in 2008, O’Neill Groundwater

Engineering (OGE), the contractor carrying out the monitoring programme, recommended

that the frequency of the programme be reduce from quarterly to biannually. This biannual

programme was carried out in June and December 2011.

As agreed with the Agency, a detailed survey of groundwater across the site will be carried

out during 2012 and the report on the findings from the survey will be submitted to the

Agency in the second quarter.
