1. INTRODUCTION
JRE Ltd. (JRE) was retained by Glanbia Foods Ireland Ltd. (Glanbia) to complete an environmental noise
assessment at and in the vicinity of their Gain Mill facility located at Clonminam Industrial Estate,
Portlaoise, Co. Laois. Environmental noise measurements were recorded at four (4) locations at the site
boundary (i.e., measurement locations NML1, NML2, NML3 and NML4) to assess the noise output from
the facility and the potential impact on noise sensitive receptors in the area.
The Portlaoise Mill is built on a site of approximately 4.5 acres located on the South-Western outskirts
of Portlaoise, a town with a population of over 20,000 people. The area around the site is semi-urban,
and is an industrial estate, consisting mostly of industrial and commercial sites to the east, west and
north, but it also contains intermittent residential dwellings, and consists mainly of agricultural land
directly to the south. The Mill is approximately 1km from the town centre. A spur from the Portlaoise
railway line runs along the east side of the site, but as it is rarely used is not a significant source of noise.
The Old Knockmay Road is part of a ring road around Portlaoise and runs immediately along the
northern boundary of the site.
The location of the site in relation to the closest noise sensitive receptors is provided in Figure 1.
Figure 1 – Site Boundary and Distance to Nearest Noise Sensitive Receptors
As indicated on Figure 1 above, two of the noise sensitive receptors are close to the plant; the
residential property at the south shares a common boundary with the site and the residential property
to the north is located on the opposite side of the Old Knockmay Road. All other identified noise

sensitive receptors are located a significant distance from the site and are likely to be dominated by
other sources such as commercial premises operations, the railway line, road traffic and general urban
activities.
The selection of noise measurement locations was based on the potential for the site operations to impact on noise sensitive receptors. However, due to the location and distance of some of the identified noise sensitive receptors it was determined that completing measurements at these locations may not be representative of the mill impacts due to the urban/industrial character of the surrounding area. It is very likely that other sources, in particular roads, dominate the acoustic environment and that noise from the site would be negligible in comparison. Based on the above, the measurement positions in Table A were identified.
Table A – Environmental Noise Measurement Locations
Location ID Location Description
NML1 Northern site boundary
NML2 Western Site boundary
NML3 Southwestern Site boundary
NML4 Eastern Site Boundary
All environmental noise measurement locations are identified on Drawing 3240-001, attached. This
report deals with the findings of the noise survey carried out at the Glanbia Site on February 1st, 2017.
The following should be noted:
Noise measurement locations are shown on Drawing 3207-01 and were based on monitoring locations identified on the day of monitoring.
All noise levels quoted in relation to specific sources are given in terms of LAeq, LA90 and LA10.
1.1. Regulatory Framework
The noise survey included the determination of the contribution of natural (e.g., birds, vegetation,
people) and anthropogenic (e.g., facility noise emissions, traffic activities) to the noise climate in the
area during the day and night-time periods. The results were assessed against the limits outlined in
section 4.3 of the “Guidance Note for Noise: Licence Applications, Surveys and Assessments in Relation
to Scheduled Activities (NG4), EPA 2012”, outlined in Table B below.

The environmental noise monitoring was completed with reference to the EPA Guidance document
NG4. Noise readings were recorded over daytime and night-time periods at the selected monitoring
locations. The noise monitoring was conducted on the 1st of February 2017 in accordance with the ISO
1996: Acoustics- Description and measurement of environmental noise and the EPA Guidance Note –
Guidance Note for Noise: Licence Applications, Surveys and Assessments in Relation to Scheduled
Activities (NG4). The monitoring survey schedule was completed with reference to NG4 and is outlined
in Table C below.
Table C – NG4 Noise Survey Schedule
Period
Minimum Survey Duration
Daytime (07:00 to 19:00hrs)1 4 hour survey with a minimum of 3 sampling periods at each noise monitoring location.
Evening (19:00 to 23:00hrs)1 2 hour survey with a minimum of 1 sampling period at each noise monitoring location.
Night-time (23:00 to 07:00hrs)2
3 hour survey with a minimum of 2 sampling periods at each noise monitoring location.
1 Sampling period is to be the time period T stated within the relevant licence. Typically this will be either 15 minutes or 30 minutes in duration. This applies to day, evening and night time periods. 2 Night-time measurements should normally be made between 23:00hrs and 04:00hrs, Sunday to Thursday, with 23:00hrs being the preferred start time.
1.1.1. Tonal Component
The NG4 guidance document provides for identification and application of penalty for a prominent tonal
noise source. The use of the simplified methodology for the objective identification of tones that is
advocated in Annex D of ISO 1996-2:2007(E) is required, whereby a prominent, discrete tone can be
identified if the time-average sound pressure level in the one-third-octave band of interest exceeds the
time-average sound pressure levels of both adjacent one-third-octave bands by a constant level
difference. The appropriate level differences vary with frequency and are outlined below. For penalties
to be applied noise levels should be greater than or equal to the following values in both adjacent one-
third-octave bands:
15dB in low-frequency one-third-octave bands (25Hz to 125Hz)
8dB in middle-frequency bands (160Hz to 400Hz), and;
5dB in high-frequency bands (500Hz to 10,000Hz).
2. SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work was to determine the noise levels at the selected noise monitoring locations (NML1,
NML2, NML3 and NML4) on the site boundaries during typical daytime operations (i.e., between 07.00
and 19.00 hrs) and during night-time operations (i.e., between 22:00 and 01:00 hrs due to limited night-
time operations).

The primary measurement parameter used to establish the noise climate in the area was the equivalent
continuous A-Weighted Sound Pressure level (LAeq, T) for the duration of the monitoring survey. A
statistical analysis of the measurement results was also completed so that the percentile levels, LAN, T,
for N = 90% and 10% over the measurement intervals were also recorded. The percentile levels
represent the noise level in dB(A) exceeded for N% of the measurement time and outlined below:
LA10 values during daytime and night-time periods to account for and describe intermittent,
high-energy noise events such as passing traffic;
LA90 values during daytime and night-time periods that were representative of background noise
levels; and
1/3rd octave band analysis at each location for the day and night time scenarios
All sources of noise from the Glanbia Site and all external noise sources (i.e., noise sources from outside
the site operations) were noted and recorded on the field monitoring sheets;

3. METHODOLOGY
To ensure the quality of noise measurements recorded at the Glanbia Site, the following methodology
was used for the monitoring programme.
3.1. Equipment Calibration
Environmental noise levels were measured using a Larson Davis SoundExpert LxT precision integrating
sound level meter that measured the ‘A’-weighted equivalent sound level (LAeq). The calibration
certificate for the meter is provided in Appendix I. The statistical sound level meter also calculated the
statistical noise measurement parameters including LA90, LA10 as well as LAeq and also contained an
integral frequency filter which is used in 1/3 octave frequency analysis. An explanation of relevant
acoustical parameters is provided in Appendix II.
3.2. Sound Level Meter Settings
For all noise measurement recordings, the meter settings were as follows:
Response : Fast
Range : 40 – 90 dB
Weighting : dB (A) – broadband measurements
dB(Z) – one third octave band measurements
3.3. Noise Measurement Methodology
Measurements were conducted based on procedures outlined in ISO 1996: Description and
measurement of environmental noise, and, BS4142:1997 Method for rating industrial noise
affecting mixed residential and industrial areas. All measurements were taken at a distance of 1.2 to
1.5 m above ground level with the sound level meter hand held. All measurements were also taken at a
distance not less than 3.0 m from any reflecting surface, excluding ground surface.
3.3.1. Quiet Area Screening
Before completing the noise monitoring survey a screening assessment was completed to determine if
the site was located in a ‘Quiet Area’ to ascertain the noise criteria and noise monitoring approach that
would be applicable in the area of the site. The screening was conducted as per the EPA guidance
‘’Guidance Note for Noise: Licence Applications, Surveys and Assessments in Relation to Scheduled
Activities (NG4). The results of the initial screening are provided in Table D below.

QUIET AREA?
Based on the results of the screening assessment, the Site is not located in a “Quiet Area”
3.4. Exclusion of Extraneous Noise Sources
The Glanbia Site is located in an industrial estate in a semi-urban area in Portlaoise Town. The site
is bounded to the north by the Old Knockmay Road and the Clonminam Industrial Estate, to the east
by a railway spur line and commercial and industrial buildings beyond, to the west is the Clonminam
Industrial Estate including commercial and industrial buildings and to the south is a residential
property and office buildings. The Old Knockmay Road which runs to the immediate north of the
site acts as a ring road around Portlaoise Town and has a high volume of car, light goods vehicles
(LGV) and heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic. The Site is an operational grain store and feed mill
facility and produces nutrition for a wide range of animals. The site was operational during the
monitoring period with the main audible noise sources being truck movements (delivery and
removal of product), operation of air filtration system and ventilation fans. The main consistent
background noise measured on site was vehicular traffic on the Old Knockmay Road located along
the site northern boundary. Other noted outside noise sources that may influence noise levels on
site were; general urban activities in Portlaoise Town, distant noise from the M7 motorway and
ventilation systems on other industrial facilities in the vicinity of the Glanbia facility . Based on the
extraneous noise sources at the site it is considered that LA90 noise levels may be a better reflection
of background noise levels on and in the vicinity of the site.

4. RESULTS
The results of the noise monitoring programme completed on February 1st, 2017 are presented in the
following section. Noise measurements at boundary locations were recorded during daytime and night
time operations. Results for Broadband and 1/3 frequency analysis are provided in Appendix III.
4.1. Location NML1 – Site Northern Boundary
The main audible noise related to site activities was high volumes of traffic on the Old Knockmay Road
immediately adjacent to the site, and also truck movements in the site yard during the noise survey
period. The measured noise levels during the survey period at location NML1 are presented in Table E,
and the 1/3 octave readings for NML1 are presented in Figure 1. Due to the high volumes of traffic on
the Old Knockmay Road, the impact of the plant during the day is negligible. However, as traffic
decreases at night, the plant has an increased impact on the noise levels at this location, primarily due
to the ventilation fan on the Northern façade of the Mill. The fan is audible but not considered a
significant noise source at this location. The appropriate noise criteria at this location are already
exceeded by the local traffic noise during day and evening periods. Noise mitigation measures such as
turning off the Mill ventilation fan or putting it on a timer so that it switches off at night may be
required to ensure that impact from the Mill is reduced during the night-time period.
The measured noise levels during the survey period at location NML1 are presented in Table E, and the
1/3 octave readings for NML1 are presented in Figures 2 and 3.

4.2. Location NML2 – Western Site Boundary
The noise climate on the western boundary of the facility is mainly influenced by plant noise from compressor blow off, the boiler room ventilation fan, Mill cyclone exhausts and the rolling plant noise. There is also an audible noise source from ventilation fans in the Oats Mill building. It should be noted that the closest noise sensitive receptor is located approximately 450 metres northwest of the measurement location and is shielded to a large extent by the commercial and industrial buildings that

exist between the Glanbia site and the noise sensitive receptor and it is considered that the noise climate in the vicinity of the closest noise sensitive receptor would be influenced mainly by urban activity in Portlaoise Town.
The impact of plant equipment at the site is more apparent when the background noise (I.e., traffic and other industrial activities in the area) are reduced. Noise at this location is generally broadband in character, though there are intermittent impulse contributions due to compressor air release.
The measured noise levels during the survey period at location NML2 are presented in Table F, and the
1/3 octave readings for NML2 are presented in Figures 4 and 5.

4.3. Location NML3 – Southwest Site Boundary Beside Grain Stores
During day and evening periods, the Glanbia plant has a negligible impact on noise levels at this
location, with the exception of an occasionally audible squeaking conveyor. At night the impact is more
significant, with broadband plant noise audible, however noise from the M7 is also audible. At this
location the plant can just meet the appropriate day evening and night-time noise criteria under normal
operating conditions. The measured noise levels during the survey period at location N3 are presented
in Table G, and the 1/3 octave readings for NML3 are presented in Figures 6 and 7.

4.4. Location NML4 – East Boundary of Site
The daytime noise climate at NML4 is mainly impacted by trucks and site activities due to its proximity
to the grain unloading area and various static plant items. The main consistent facility noise source was
from plant associated with the grinder house, which was significant. Even closing the doors in this area
may reduce the noise impact from the facility in that area. It should be noted that the closest noise
sensitive receptor to the east of the Glanbia facility is 650 meters away and is shielded to a large extent

by the commercial and industrial buildings that exist between the Glanbia site and the noise sensitive
receptor.
At night there is no grain unloading taking place but there is still audible impact from the plant in the
grinder house. Noise is generally broadband and continuous in nature. It should be noted that the
closest noise sensitive receptor to the east of the Glanbia facility is 650 meters away and is shielded to a
large extent by the commercial and industrial buildings that exist between the Glanbia site and the
noise sensitive receptor and so would not be expected to be impacted by the noise output from the
facility. The measured noise levels during the survey period at location NLM4 are presented in Table H,

5. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of the noise monitoring programme completed at the Glanbia Site, JRE Ltd. found
the following:
North of Site
The broadband noise level measured at the northern Site boundary (i.e., NML 1 in January 2017 [66.6
dB LAeq, 65.9 dB LAeq and 66.4 dB LAeq] was above the daytime limit of 55 dB LAeq. The main noise source
at NML 1 (northern boundary) was broadband in nature, caused by the high volumes of traffic on the
Old Knockmay Road, the impact of the plant during the day is negligible.
However, as traffic decreases at night, the plant is more audible at this location, primarily due to the
ventilation fan on the Northern façade of the Mill. The fan is audible but not considered a significant
noise source at this location. The appropriate noise criteria at this location are already exceeded by the
local traffic noise during day and evening periods. Noise mitigation measures such as turning off the Mill
ventilation fan or putting it on a timer so that it switches off at night may be required to ensure that
impact from the Mill is reduced even further during the night-time period.
Southwest of Site
The Glanbia plant has a negligible impact on noise levels at NML 3, with the exception of an occasionally
audible squeaking conveyor. At night the impact is more significant, with broadband plant noise audible,
however noise from the M7 is also audible. To ensure that the noise emitted from the facility at this
area dos not increase and to remedy the current cause of noise in this area it is recommended that
Glanbia introduce a maintenance programme on all fans and belts. This will firstly reduce the current
noise emissions at the location and will also ensure that no significant noise sources arise here.
West of Site
The noise climate on the western boundary of the facility is mainly influenced by plant noise from
compressor blow off, the boiler room ventilation fan, Mill cyclone exhausts and the rolling plant noise.
There is also an audible noise source from ventilation fans in the Oats Mill building. It should be noted
that the closest noise sensitive receptor is located approximately 450 metres northwest of the
measurement location and is shielded to a large extent by the commercial and industrial buildings that
exist between the Glanbia site and the noise sensitive receptor. It is considered that the noise climate
in the vicinity of the closest noise sensitive receptor would be influenced mainly by urban activity in
Portlaoise Town and other commercial or industrial activities rather than the Glanbia facility.
The impact of plant equipment at the site is more apparent when the background noise (i.e., traffic and
other industrial activities in the area) are reduced. Noise at this location is generally broadband in
character, though there are intermittent impulse contributions due to compressor air release. It is
recommended that a maintenance programme be introduced at the site to ensure that additional noise
emission are not created by poorly maintained equipment.

East of Site
The noise climate at NML4, eastern boundary, is impacted by trucks and site activities due to its
proximity to the grain unloading area and various static plant items. The main consistent facility noise
source and impact was from plant associated with the grinder house. Closing the doors in this area may
reduce the noise impact from the facility in that area but there may be further assessment required to
further limit noise emissions if required. It should be noted that the closest noise sensitive receptor at
the east of the site is located approximately 650 metres east of the measurement location and is
shielded to a large extent by the commercial and industrial buildings that exist between the Glanbia site
and the noise sensitive receptor. It is considered that the noise climate in the vicinity of the closest
noise sensitive receptor would be influenced mainly by urban activity in Portlaoise Town, motorway
traffic from the M7 and other commercial or industrial activities in the area in closer proximity to the
residence rather than the Glanbia facility.
At night there is no grain unloading taking place but there is still audible impact from the plant in the
grinder house. Noise is generally broadband and continuous in nature but there was a prominent,
discrete low frequency tone identified at 315 Hz. The tonal impact source was from the grinder house
area and requires further investigation to mitigate that output. gain, it is recommended that all doors
to the grinder house be closed in an attempt to reduce noise emissions from this area of the facility.
Also, where possible the grinder equipment should be shut off at night time to reduce the impact of it
even further.

Addendum to Attachment E.1: Emissions to Atmosphere
The main air emissions from the Portlaoise Feed Mill are Outlined below:
Boiler Emisions
Main Emissions
Minor Emissions
Fugitive Emissions
Boiler Emissions
The boiler at the Portlaoise Feed Mill is a 1.6 MW natural gas steam boiler with regular annual
maintenance.
The boiler is very similar to the boiler system used at the Glanbia Feed Mill in Clonroche and the
emissions would be expected to be very similar to those measured from the Clonroche boiler stack in
2016, see Table E.1(i) below;
Table E.1 (i)
Reference No.
Description Location Emission Parameter
Estimated Emission (mg/nm3)
Estimated Mass Emission
A 1-2 Boiler Emission
Boiler House NOx 109.82* 0.08*
CO 0.08* 0.0001*
SO2 0.54* 0.0004* *- based on measurements completed on Clonroche Boiler System
Based on the estimated emissions from the boiler at the Portlaoise site the results are less than the
TA Luft Limits for NOx, CO and SO2.
Main Emissions
The main process emissions from the Portlaoise Feed Mill is from the Mill building on site. The main
emission parameter is particulates. There are 4 main emission points in the Mill building all of which
have particulate control cyclones in place to significantly reduce particulate output from the process.
The cyclones on the Mill building are new and were installed in 2016 to provide increased reduction
in particulate emissions from the Mill process. The 3 cyclones in place at the Portlaoise Mill are a
Geelen Counterflow system which, according to the manufacturer, are 100% efficient for removal of
particulates at 30 microns, 96% efficient for removal of particulates at 20 microns and 90% efficient
for removal of particulates at 10 microns (see Attachment 1 on Cyclone Efficiency). The cyclones in
use at the Portlaoise Mill are similar (albeit newer and potentially more efficient) than the cyclone
systems in place at the Glanbia Clonroche facility and the emissions from the main stacks in the Mill
building would be expected to be similar or lower than those measured from the Clonroche cyclone
stacks in 2016, see Table E.2 below;
Table E.1 (ii)
Reference No.

Based on the estimated particulate output from the Cyclones in the Mill Building they are less than
the 50mg/m3 TA Luft Limit for Particulates at a mass flow >0.2 kg/hr. A copy of the monitoring report
is provided in Attachment 2.
Minor / Fugitive Emissions
There are a number of other small emission points (i.e., dryer fans and screening fan) that are
considered minor emissions along with fugitive emissions related to dust dispersal from the yard
surface or emissions from bulk storage bins and raw material storage areas. Glanbia completed
historical dust deposition sampling at the site boundaries in June, July and August 2012 to assess the
potential impact of dustfall on the surrounding areas from the facility. Sampling was completed using
the Bergerhoff Method at the northern boundary (site entrance), western boundary (opposite
weighbridge) and at the Grain Storage building. A copy of the dust deposition report is attached in
Attachment 3. The results indicated that all results were significantly less than the 350 mg/m2/day
limit for the site.

3. Materials and Methods
This section provides brief details of the methodologies employed to perform the air emission monitoring.
3.1. Flue Gas analysis (CO – IS EN 15058:2006, CO2 – ISO12039:2001, NOx – IS EN 14792:2006, O2 – IS EN 14789:2005, SO2 – Method TGN M21)
Flue gas concentrations were monitored using a Horiba PG-250 flue gas analyser. The PG-250 is a portable stack gas analyzer that can simultaneously measure up to five separate gas components: NOx, CO, CO2, SO2 and O2. The PG-250 uses non-dispersive IR detection for CO, SO2, and CO2; chemiluminescence (cross-flow modulation) for NOx; and a paramagnetic cell for O2 measurements.
3.2. Particulates - ISO9096:2006 (high) or IS EN 13284-1:2002 (low)
A sample stream of gas is extracted from the main gas stream at representative sampling points for 30 minutes, with an isokinetically controlled flow rate and measured volume. The dust entrained in the gas sample is separated by a pre-weighed filter, which is then dried and reweighed. Deposits upstream of the filter in the sampling equipment are also recovered and weighed. The increase of mass of the filter and the deposited mass upstream of the filter are attributed to dust collected from the sampled gas, which allows the dust concentration to be calculated. The results are calculated from the laboratory results divided by air volume sampled and are converted to mg/m3. Results in kg/h are calculated from concentration of pollutant and stack flow rate. All results are corrected to Standard Temperature and Pressure and if required to Reference Oxygen and Dry conditions. LOD values are obtained from laboratory LOD and the same calculations as per results.
3.3. Volumetric Flow Rate – ISO 16911-1:2013
The volumetric airflow rate was determined from stack velocity measurements calculated in accordance with ISO 16911-1:2013. Airflow rate and temperature profiles were performed at pre-calculated intervals across the stack in order to determine the average velocity profile across the stack diameters.

Differences between the readings
obtained during the adjustments of the
analyser and during the check shall be
lower than 2%
Through the sampling line:
Directly to analyzer:
After measurement through the sampling line:
SO2 requirement: When applying the zero
and span gases, measure the T90response
time, and then wait at least three times the
T90value before taking the readings for zero
and span;
SO2 requirement: When applying the zero
and span gases, measure the T90response
time, and then wait at least three times the
T90value before taking the readings for zero
and span;
If the span or zero drift are bigger than 2%
of the span value it is necessery to
correct both for zero and span drift. If the
drift result is higher than 5% results shall
be rejected.

1.0 Scope
AD Analytical was retained by Glanbia PLc (Glanbia Portlaoise) to complete dust
deposition monitoring at their facility located in Clonminam Industrial Estate. Portlaoise,
Co. Laois. Glanbia Portlaoise operates an extensive grain store and processing units at this
facility three dust deposition monitoring events were completed at the site between June and
September, 2012 at the request of Mr. Pat Bolger. Filtered samples were also retained for
further examination by Glanbia personnel.
The site is bounded to the east by a local electrical store and the railway line, to the north by
the main road, a number of small industrial units and agricultural land, to the south by
agricultural land and to the west by an industrial estate.
2.0 Dust Deposition
Dust includes particulate matter (PM) with a particulate diameter typically between I and 75
microns (i.e., µ111). Dust deposition typically occurs in close proximity to the source and the
main impacts from suspend particulates may be experienced within 500 111 of the source as
the airborne dust falls out of suspension. Larger PM deposit closer to the source and the
rates of deposition and the size of PM decreases with distance from the source. Typically
the dust collected by dust deposition sampling is for larger PM (i.e., between 35 - 75 ft111).
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work was to determine dust deposition concentrations at pre-detennined
monitoring locations at the site boundaries over three, 30 day intervals. The scope of work
included the following:
'r Complete dust deposition monitoring at three external boundary locations on the
Glanbia Portlaoise facility site. Each location was sited on the piece of undeveloped
land adjacent to the entrance on the near left of the site (See site map), the locations
were; I sample location at the site entrance (location DI). 1 sample location opposite
the new weighbridge located on the west fas:ade of the main facility building (location
02), 1 sample location adjacent to the nearest grain storage building on the extreme
left of the site (location 03 ), see site map.
'r Complete dust deposition sampling with reference to the German Standard Method
VD! 2119 (i.e., using Bergerhoff dust deposition sampler). The sampler consists of a
gauge bottle supported on a stand of approximately 1.5 metres high. The apparatus

consisted of a collection vessel with an open mouth of 150111111 diameter with a
collection sample bottle of 1.5 litres.
';, Collect each round of dust deposition samples over a 30 day period and submit
samples for gravimetric analysis.
';, Report dust deposition results to Glanbia Portlaoise.
';, Retain filtered dust samples and return to client.
4.0 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
There are no National or European Union (EU) guidelines or limits for dust deposition
concentrations. In the absence of regulatory criteria, the recognised guidelines used for
comparing dust deposition concentrations is provided by the TA Luft Technical Instructions
on Air Quality Control, July 2001 (i.e., 350 mg/1112/day).
5.0 METHODOLOGY
Dust samples were collected using Bergerhoff dust deposition gauges, which was exposed
over a 30-day period to collect bulk dust deposition. The method employed is based on the
German Standard Method VD! 2 l 19 and collects total particulate matter. The gauge consists
of a gauge bottle supported on a stand of approximately 1.5 metres high. The apparatus
consisted of a collection vessel with an open mouth of 150mm diameter with a collection
sample bottle of 1.5 litres volume. When the sample period had elapsed the sample vessels
were checked for the presence of any unusual deposits such as leaves or insects and these
were removed before analysis of the samples took place. The samples collected were then
transferred to !AS for gravimetric analysis.

Appropriate Assessment Screening Report – Portlaoise Feed Mill
1. Introduction
JRE Environmental (JRE) were commissioned by Glanbia Agribusiness, Portlaoise, Co. Laois to prepare
a Screening Report to inform the Appropriate Assessment (AA) or Natura Impact Statement (NIS)
process to assess the potential impacts the proposed EPA IPPC licencing for The Glanbia Portlaoise
Feed Mill (Portlaoise Feed Mill) facility may have on any Natura 2000 sites in its vicinity.
1.1. Aim of this Report
This Screening Report aims to inform the AA/NIS process of the potential impacts as part of an EPA
Industrial Emission Licence for the Portlaoise Feed Mill in Portlaoise, Co. Laois in accordance with the
requirements of Article 6(3) of the EU Habitats Directive (Directive 92/43/EEC) and the requirements
of the Planning and Development Act 2000 – 2010 (the Act).
2. Appropriate Assessment
2.1. Requirement for an Assessment under Article 6 of the Habitats Directive.
The requirement for an Appropriate Assessment is set out in the EU Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC).
The aim of the European Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of
Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora) is to create a network of protected wildlife sites in
Europe, maintained at a good conservation status. The network of sites is referred to as Natura 2000
sites. In Ireland, the Natura 2000 network of European sites comprises Special Areas of Conservation
(SAC’s, including candidate SACs), and Special Protection Areas (SPA’s, including proposed SPA’S).
SACs are selected for the conservation of vulnerable and threatened habitat types and species (other
than birds). SPA’s are selected for the conservation of vulnerable and threatened species of birds and
other regularly occurring migratory birds, and their habitats.
The European Habitats Directive (EHD) (Council of the European Communities 1992) was transposed
into Irish legislation by the European Communities (Natural Habitats) Regulations 1997. The Directive
specifies the scientific criteria on the basis of which Natura 2000 sites must be selected and sets out
various procedures and obligations in relation to the nature conservation management which must
be undertaken for the purpose of ensuring the protection of the Natura 2000 sites.
Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive states: Any plan or project not directly connected with or
necessary to the management of the site but likely to have a significant effect thereon, either
individually or in combination with other plans or projects, shall be subject to appropriate assessment
of its implications for the site in view of the site’s conservation objectives. In the light of the conclusions
of the assessment of the implications for the site and subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the
competent national authorities shall agree to the plan or project only after having ascertained that it
will not adversely affect the integrity of the site concerned and, if appropriate, after having obtained
the opinion of the general public.
Furthermore, Article 6(4) states: If, in spite of a negative assessment of the implications for the site
and in the absence of alternative solutions, a plan or project must nevertheless be carried out for
imperative reasons of overriding public interest, including those of social or economic nature, the
Member State shall take all compensatory 4 measures necessary to ensure that the overall coherence
of Natura 2000 is protected. It shall inform the Commission of the compensatory measures adopted.
Where the site concerned hosts a priority natural habitat type and/or a priority species the only
considerations which may be raised are those relating to human health or public safety, to beneficial

consequences of primary importance for the environment or, further to an opinion from the
Commission, to other imperative reasons of overriding public interest.
2.2. Appropriate Assessment Guidance
The preparation of this Assessment has been informed by reference to the following guidance
documents:
EU Guidance Document on Article 6(4) of the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC (European
Commission 2007)
MANAGING NATURA 2000 SITES. The provisions of Article 6, of the Habitats Directive
92/43/EEC, (European Commission 2000).
Appropriate Assessment of Plans and Projects in Ireland – Guidance for Planning Authorities
(DoEHLG 2009)
Assessment of plans and projects significantly affecting Natura 2000 sites. Methodological
guidance on the provisions of Article 6(3) and 6(4) of the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC
(European Commission 2002)
2.3. Stages in the Process
Article 6 of the Habitats Directive provides a strict assessment procedure for any plan or project not
directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site but which has the potential to
have implications for the site in view of the site’s conservation objectives. The Draft Variation to the
County Development Plan 2009-2015, therefore, falls under the remit of Article 6.
According to the European Commission’s guidance document, it has become generally accepted that
the assessment requirements of Article 6 establish a stage by stage approach. The stages proposed by
the guidance document are:
Stage One: Screening. The process which identifies the likely impacts upon a Natura 2000 site
of a project or plan, either alone or in combination with other projects or plans, and considers
whether these impacts are likely to be significant.
Stage Two: Appropriate Assessment. The consideration of the impact on the integrity of the
Natura 2000 site of the project or plan, either alone or in combination with other projects or
plans, with respect to the site’s structure and function and its conservation objectives.
Additionally, where there are adverse impacts, an assessment of the potential mitigation of
those impacts.
Stage Three: Assessment of Alternative Solutions. The process which examines alternative
ways of achieving the objectives of the project or plan that avoid adverse impacts on the
integrity of the Natura 2000 site.
Stage Four: Assessment where no alternative solutions exist and where adverse impacts
remain. An assessment of compensatory measures where, in the light of an assessment of

Appropriate Assessment Screening Report – Portlaoise Feed Mill
As can be seen from Table No 1 there are a number of sites within this zone and there are two sites
located within 5 km of the site.
The following provides a brief description of all the Natura 2000 sites found within 15km of the Glanbia
Agribusiness site. Full site descriptions and conservation objectives of each of the sites can be found
at http//www.npws.ie.
3.2.1. Ridge of Portlaoise pNHA 000876
The Ridge of Portlaoise pNHA (000876) is an esker located to the East of the Portlaoise Feed Mill site.
The Ridge of Portlaoise pNHA has primarily been proposed for protection due to the presence of two
nationally rare plant species, the nettle-leaved bellflower and blue fleabane.
3.2.2. Clonreher Bog NHA 002357
This site comprises a raised bog that includes both areas of high bog and cutover bog. The site is
bounded by the N80 to the east and the abandoned railway line (Mountmellick Branch) to the west.
It can be accessed from bog tracks off the N80, to the north-east and south-east of the site.
Much of the high bog has vegetation typical of a Midland Raised Bog, dominated by bog moss
(Sphagnum) species, over which grow Ling Heather (Calluna vulgaris), Cross-leaved Heath (Erica
tetralix), Deergrass (Scirpus cespitosus), Bog Asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum) and Bog Rosemary
(Andromeda polifolia).
To the north and south of the intact dome are expanses of cutaway bog, which are no longer in use
and which are now overgrown with Purple Moor-grass (Molinia caerulea) and Ling Heather (Calluna
vulgaris). In some areas Gorse (Ulex europaeus) and/or Downy Birch (Betula pubescens) are colonising
and creating patches of scrub. There is an extensive area of scrub along the abandoned railway line to
the west.
Current landuses on the site include peat-cutting and agriculture. Active peat-cutting occurs to the
south and north. Damaging activities associated with these landuses include drainage at the bog
margins and burning on the high bog in connection with peat-cutting. Frequent burning is detrimental
to the bog as it causes dessication of the surface and removal of semi-natural vegetation. These
activities have resulted in the loss of habitat, damage to the hydrological status of the site, and pose
a continuing threat to its viability.
Clonreher Bog NHA is a site of considerable conservation significance comprising as it does a raised
bog, a rare habitat in the E.U. and one that is becoming increasingly scarce and under threat in Ireland.
This site supports a good diversity of raised bog microhabitats and its southerly location, is of
ecological interest. Ireland has a high proportion of the total E.U. resource of raised bog (over 50%)
and so has a special responsibility for its conservation at an international level.

Appropriate Assessment Screening Report – Portlaoise Feed Mill
3.2.3. Dunamase Woods pNHA 001494
Dunamase Woods pNHA is a medium sized wood, which is broken into two blocks. It is situated on a
limestone hill 3 km east of Portlaoise. The site is on a freely draining mineral soil. Ash (Fraxinus
excelsior) and pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) are the main canopy species. Hazel (Corylus avellana)
occurs in the shrub layer. Heracleum sphondylium, Hyacinthoides non-scripta and Glechoma
hederacea occur in the field layer. Parts of the wood are dominated by beech (Fagus sylvatica). There
is an area of exposed rock on a cliff on the east side of the larger section. The occasional fallen tree is
cut for firewood. Both old and currently used badger setts are found in the wood. There is some light
grazing by deer and goats, and fungus of the genus Laetiporus was observed.
3.2.4. Rock of Dunamase pNHA 000878
The Rock of Dunamase pNHA is a small hazel (Corylus avellana) wood on a limestone hill 5 km east of
Portlaoise, Co. Laoise. It is on a freely draining mineral soil. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) occurs
in the shrub layer. Polystichum setiferum, Dryopteris filixmas and Hyacinthoides non-scripta are found
in the field layer. Much of the growth is quite young. Patches of grassland and younger hazel (Corylus
avellana) occur at the edge of a cliff on site.
3.2.5. The Great Heath of Portlaoise pNHA 000881
The Great Heath of Portlaoise pNHA (000881) is located approximately 7.53 km north east of the
proposed licenced site.
3.2.6. Slieve Bloom Mountains SPA 004160
The Slieve Bloom Mountains SPA is situated on the border between Counties Offaly and Laois, and
runs along a north-east/south-west aligned ridge for approximately 25 km. Much of the site is over
200 m in altitude, rising to a maximum height of 527 m at Arderin. The mountains are of Old Red
Sandstone, flanked by Silurian rocks. Several important rivers rise within the site, including the Barrow,
Delour and Silver.
The site has a near continuous ridge of mountain blanket bog, with wet and dry heaths also well
represented. Species present in these habitats include Ling Heather (Calluna vulgaris), Crowberry
(Empetrum nigrum), Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), Cottongrasses (Eriophorum spp.), Deergrass
(Scirpus cespitosus) and Bog Asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum). Much of the slopes are afforested,
and overall conifereous plantations account for c. 60% of the site. The forests include first and second
rotation plantations, with both pre-thicket and post-thicket stands present. Substantial areas of clear-
fell are also present at any one time. The principal tree species present are Sitka Spruce (Picea
sitchensis) and Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta). The remainder of the site is mostly rough grassland
that is used for hill farming. This varies in composition and includes some wet areas with rushes
(Juncus spp.) and some areas subject to scrub encroachment. Some stands of deciduous woodland
also occur, especially within the river valleys.
The site is a Special Protection Area (SPA) under the E.U. Birds Directive, of special conservation
interest for Hen Harrier.

7 3225B / September 29th, 2016
Appropriate Assessment Screening Report – Portlaoise Feed Mill
This SPA is one of the strongholds for Hen Harrier in the country and, indeed, is the most easterly
regular population. A survey in 2005 resulted in five confirmed and three possible breeding pairs,
whereas ten confirmed pairs and one possible pair had been recorded in the 1998-2000 period. These
numbers represent c. 5% of the national total. The mix of forestry and open areas provides optimum
habitat conditions for this rare bird, which is listed on Annex I of the E.U. Birds Directive. The early
stages of new and second-rotation conifer plantations are the most frequently used nesting sites,
though some pairs may still nest in tall heather of unplanted bogs and heath. Hen Harriers will forage
up to c. 5 km from the nest site, utilising open bog and moorland, young conifer plantations and hill
farmland that is not too rank. Birds will often forage in openings and gaps within forests. In Ireland,
small birds and small mammals appear to be the most frequently taken prey.
The site is also a traditional site for a breeding pair of Peregrine. Several pairs of Merlin are known to
breed within the site but further survey is required to determine the exact status of this small falcon.
Both of these species are also listed on Annex I of the E.U. Birds Directive. Red Grouse is found on
many of the unplanted areas of bog and heath – this is a species that has declined in Ireland and is
now Red-listed.
The main threat to the long-term survival of Hen Harriers within the site is further afforestation, which
would reduce and fragment the area of foraging habitat, resulting in possible reductions in breeding
density and productivity. The observed decline between the 1998-2000 and 2005 surveys may be real
and due to habitat change as a result of maturation of conifer plantations. Much of the unplanted
blanket bog is a Statutory Nature Reserve.
Overall, the site provides excellent nesting and foraging habitat for breeding Hen Harrier and is among
the top five sites in the country for the species. It is also likely to be of national importance for breeding
Merlin.
3.2.7. Kilteale Hill pNHA 000867
Kilteale Hill pNHA is a medium sized wood on a hill with aspects on all directions. It is located 3 km
northwest of Stradbally, Co. Laois, on a moderately freely draining mineral soil. The main canopy
species are hazel (Corylus avellana) and grey willow (Salix cinerea), and hazel (Corylus avellana) also
occurs in the shrub layer. Hyacinthoides non-scripta, Geum urbanum and Circaea lutetiana occur in
the field layer. There is a small portion of mature ash (Fraxinus excelsior) dominated wood at south-
western corner, and scattered ash (Fraxinus excelsior) occurs in the eastern side. In the southeast,
some conifers are present. Cattle have access to a small part of the western side. Badger setts and
tracks are present. An old path leads to the summit of the hill.
3.2.8. Timahoe Esker pNHA 000421
Timahoe Esker pNHA is a medium sized site is located on an esker 1 km north of Timahoe, Co. Laois.
It consists of three small patches of woodland, two of which form a nature reserve called Timahoe
Esker. The Timahoe River runs between these two parcels. The site is on a freely draining mineral soil.
The main canopy species are ash (Fraxinus excelsior), pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) and grey
willow (Salix cinerea), with hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and hazel (Corylus avellana) in the shrub
layer. The field layer contains Hyacinthoides non-scripta, Ajuga reptans and Polystichum setiferum.
The wood is fenced off and the grazing level is low. There are old tracks in wood which are used for

(Fagus sylvatica), and wild cherry (Prunus avium) is mostly found on the western side. Coarse dead
wood is abundant, and otter spraint was seen near the river. There is evidence that the site was
quarried in the past.
3.2.9. River Barrow and River Nore SAC 002162
The River Barrow and River Nore SAC consists of the freshwater stretches of the Barrow and Nore
River catchments as far upstream as the Slieve Bloom Mountains, and it also includes the tidal
elements and estuary as far downstream as Creadun Head in Waterford. The site passes through eight
counties – Offaly, Kildare, Laois, Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Wexford and Waterford.
Both rivers rise in the Old Red Sandstone of the Slieve Bloom Mountains before passing through a
band of Carboniferous shales and sandstones. The Nore, for a large part of its course, traverses
limestone plains and then Old Red Sandstone for a short stretch below Thomastown. Before joining
the Barrow it runs over intrusive rocks poor in silica. The upper reaches of the Barrow also run through
limestone. The middle reaches and many of the eastern tributaries, sourced in the Blackstairs
Mountains, run through Leinster Granite. The southern end, like the Nore runs over intrusive rocks
poor in silica. Waterford Harbour is a deep valley excavated by glacial floodwaters when the sea level
was lower than today. The coast shelves quite rapidly along much of the shore. The site is a Special
Area of Conservation (SAC) selected for the following habitats and/or species listed on Annex I / II of
the E.U. Habitats Directive (* = priority; numbers in brackets are Natura 2000 codes):

3.2.11. Slieve Bloom Mountains SAC 000412
The Slieve Bloom Mountains lie on the Offaly-Laois border, starting about 8 km north-east of Roscrea
and running about 24 km north-east, towards Clonaslee. The mountains are of Old Red Sandstone,
flanked by Silurian rocks.
The site extends from approximately 180 m to 529 m O.D. The site is a Special Area of Conservation
(SAC) selected for the following habitats and/or species listed on Annex I / II of the E.U. Habitats
Directive (* = priority; numbers in brackets are Natura 2000 codes):
[4010] Wet Heath
[7130] Blanket Bogs (Active)*
[91E0] Alluvial Forests*
3.2.12. Slieve Bloom pNHA 000412
The Slieve Bloom pNHA is located in the Slieve Bloom mountains, in the vicinity of the Slieve Bloom
SAC and the Slieve Bloom Mountains SPA. The pNHA is 10.01 km to the North West of the Glanbia
site in Poirtloaise.
3.2.13. River Nore SPA 004233
The River Nore SPA is a long, linear site that includes the following river sections: the River Nore
from the bridge at Townparks, (north-west of Borris in Ossory) to Coolnamuck (approximately 3 km
south of Inistioge) in Co. Kilkenny; the Delour River from its junction with the River Nore to
Derrynaseera bridge (west of Castletown) in Co. Laois; the Erkina River from its junction with the
River Nore at Durrow Mills to Boston Bridge in Co. Laois; a 1.5 km stretch of the River Goul upstream
of its junction with the Erkina River; the Kings River from its junction with the River Nore to a bridge
at Mill Island, Co. Kilkenny.
The site includes the river channel and marginal vegetation. For a large part of its course the River
Nore traverses Carboniferous limestone plains; it passes over a narrow band of Old Red Sandstone
rocks below Thomastown. The site is a Special Protection Area (SPA) under the E.U. Birds Directive of
special conservation interest for the following species: Kingfisher.
A survey in 2010 recorded 22 pairs of Kingfisher (based on 16 probables and 6 possible territories)
within the SPA. Other species which occur within the site include Mute Swan (35), Mallard (267),
Cormorant (14), Grey Heron (45), Moorhen (14), Snipe (17) and Sand Martin (1,029) – all figures are
peak counts recorded during the 2010 survey. The River Nore SPA is of high ornithological
importance as it supports a nationally important population of Kingfisher, a species that is listed on
Annex I of the E.U. Birds Directive.
3.2.14. Mountmellick SAC 002141
This site comprises a disused stretch of the Grand Canal between Dangan’s Bridge and Skeagh Bridge,
approximately 3 km east of Mountmellick in Co. Laois. The site is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
selected for the following habitats and/or species listed on Annex I / II of the E.U. Habitats Directive

Appropriate Assessment Screening Report – Portlaoise Feed Mill
The habitat at this site is composed largely of fen-type vegetation, including Bulrush (Typha latifolia),
Reed Sweet-grass (Glyceria maxima) and Yellow Iris (Iris pseudacorus). The area west of the bridge has
been drained extensively and is now grassland.
The whorl snail Vertigo moulinsiana is a glacial relict with a disjunct European population that is
considered Vulnerable due to loss of habitat, caused in particular by drainage of wetlands. It was first
recorded at this site in 1971. The site was visited again in 1997 and the species re-found. In Ireland,
the species is sparsely distributed in the central lowlands. It generally lives in calcareous wetlands,
often fens. Vertigo moulinsiana was formerly more widespread in the canal area but has disappeared
from most of its recorded sites with the dredging and reopening of canal navigation channels.
Restoration of disused sections of canal without due consideration of the species is a threat.
The Mountmellick site is important as it provides useful habitat for a population of Vertigo
moulinsiana.
3.2.15. River Nore/Abbeyleix Woods pNHA 002076
This site is located along the River Nore and extends from Shanahoe in Co. Laois to Ballyragget in Co.
Kilkenny. This site overlaps with the River Barrow and River Nore cSAC, although the pNHA designation
is more extensive and takes in more of the woodland around Abbeyleix. It contains many features of
scientific importance. Between the Abbeyleix estate and Attagh Bridge, the River Nore contains a large
population of the Irish Freshwater Pearl Mussel (Margaritifera durrovensis). This mussel is only found
in the Nore river catchment and because of its rarity, it is of international importance. Several species
listed in the Red Data Book, Summer Snowflake (Leucojum aestivum) and Meadow Saffron (Colchicum
17 autumnale), also a legally protected Irish Red Data Book species (Flora Protection Order 1989), are
locally common in damp meadows and on the river banks in the pNHA.
Abbeyleix Woods is a large tract of mixed deciduous woodland which is one of the only remaining true
ancient woodlands in Ireland and is comparable to only two other sites in Ireland. Historical records
show that an area called Park Hill has been continuously wooded since the sixteenth century and has
the most complete written record of any woodland in the country. It contains several woodland
habitats including a large area of WN2 type woodland dominated by Pedunculate Oak and some
alluvial woodland along the river. Large parts of the woodland have been replanted with conifers in
the past and have been disturbed, although some of this habitat is currently being restored as part of
the Native Woodland Scheme.
3.2.16. Emo Court pNHA 000865
Emo Court pNHA is a proposed natural heritage area, 12.39 km to the North East of the Glanbia site.
It is proposed Natural Heritage Area (pNHA) under the Wildlife (Amendment) Act, 2000.
3.2.17. Ballyprior Grassland SAC 002256
Ballyprior Grassland, 4 km south of the village of Stradbally in Co. Laois, is located at the north end of
the Castlecomer Plateau on largely limestone bedrock. The soils of the area are generally thin and well
drained, varying from a deeper sandy loam in lower places (10-20 cm depth), to thin or stony soil over
local drift (5-10 cm depth) on the elevated plateau. The site is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
selected for the following habitats and/or species listed on Annex I / II of the E.U. Habitats Directive
(* = priority; numbers in brackets are Natura 2000 codes):
[6210] Orchid-rich Calcareous Grassland*
Ballyprior Grassland SAC contains old grassland habitat of high quality and the site is important due to
the loss of similar habitat in surrounding areas. The site has an exceptionally rich myco-flora (fungi)

which is a good indication of grassland quality (in terms of continuity, lack of disturbance and low
nutrient status).
In the grassland there is abundant cover of grasses and herbs with a high species diversity, but low
bryophyte cover. Quaking-grass (Briza media) is an abundant species, reflecting the calcareous
conditions, in association with abundant Sheep’sfescue (Festuca ovina), Sweet Vernal-grass
(Anthoxanthun odoratum), Crested Dog’stail (Cynosurus cristatus) and Common Bent (Agrostis
capillaris). Other species present include Heath-grass (Danthonia decumbens), the sedges Carex
caryophyllea, C. flacca and C. pulicaris, and Field Wood-rush (Luzula campestris). The herb-rich,
calcicole flora is characterised by Early-purple Orchid (Orchis mascula), Common Bird’s-foottrefoil
(Lotus corniculatus), Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Lady’s Bedstraw (Galium verum), Mouse-ear
Hawkweed (Hieracium pilosella), Wild Thyme (Thymus praecox), Fairy Flax (Linum catharticum), Oxeye
Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), Rough Hawkbit (Leontodon hispidus), Carline Thistle (Carlina vulgaris)
and Autumn Gentian (Gentianella amarella), with Heath Dog-violet (Viola canina), Mountain
Everlasting (Antennaria dioica) and Maidenhair Spleenwort (Asplenium trichomanes) prevalent
around rock out-crops. On deeper soils, Wild Carrot (Daucus carota) and Pignut (Conopodium majus)
are frequent.
The presence in certain places of species such as Carnation Sedge (Carex panicea), Devil’s-bit Scabious
(Succisa pratensis), Tormentil (Potentilla erecta) and Heath Bedstraw (Galium saxatile) indicates
variation in conditions with paucity of minerals, and adds to the species diversity. Hazel (Corylus
avellana) scrub, with a well-developed ground flora, occurs on the extreme west margins of the
grassland. There are also several ponds within the site adding further habitat diversity.
The Irish Hare (Lepus timidus hibernicus) occurs in the site. This endemic sub-species is listed in the
Red Data Book and is legally protected under the Wildlife Act, 1976.
3.2.18. Stradbally Hill pNHA 001800
This site is located on several limestone hills located 2 km east and south of Stradbally, Co. Laois. The
site is divided into four separate sections. These hills contain broad-leaved woodland that can mainly
be classified as WN2 Oak-AshHazel type woodland and includes some mixed woodland and conifer
plantation. 16 These woodlands have a well-developed structure and good flora in places. Parts of
the woodlands are currently being managed as part of the Native Woodland Scheme. Woodlands
with mature Pedunculate Oak on mineral soil are rare in county Laois.
3.2.19. Clopook Wood pNHA 000860
This small site is located several kilometres south of Stradbally, Co. Laois. A small Ash (Fraxinus
excelsior) and Hazel (Corylus avellana) woodland occurs on the steep, rocky slopes of a prominent
limestone hill, which is a typical example of Tertiary karst limestone landscape in Laois. The ground
flora contains a good diversity of calcicole species and a rich bryophyte flora has also been recorded.
Clopook is reported to contain many long, narrow passages that have archaeological importance but
at present many of the openings have been blocked off or are overgrown.
3.3. Assessment Criteria
Appropriate assessments identify and outline the impacts that might, either alone or in combination
with another plan or project, adversely affect the integrity of any Natura 2000 site.

that are likely to impact on any Natura 2000 sites in the direct vicinity or within a 15km radius of the
site.
3.3.2. Direct, indirect or secondary impacts on any Natura 2000 site:
a) size and scale, area and land-take
The size, scale, area and land take of the Portlaoise Feed Mill will be nil as the proposal is for the
continued operation of the site under an Industrial Emissions Licence at its existing site located in
Portlaoise, County Laois.
b) Distance from the Natura 2000 site or key feature of the site
There are four Natura 2000 sites located within 10km of the proposed Industrial Emissions Licence
site at Portlaoise ranging from 2.03 km East (Ridge of Portlaoise pNHA) and 9.93 km North West of the
Site (Slieve Bloom Mountains SAC). Considering the limited and contained nature of the Portlaoise
Feed Mill it is envisaged that there will be no significant adverse impact on any Natura 2000 sites in
the direct vicinity or within a 10km radius.
c) Resource requirements (water abstraction etc.)
There are no additional water abstraction requirements for the facility.
d) Emissions and Waste (disposal to land, water or air).
There are six identified discharges from the facility; process dust emissions, boiler emissions, storm
water discharge, sewer discharge, noise and ambient dust emissions. All emissions and the potential
for impact are outline below:
- Process Particulate Emissions
The low particulate emission levels and the distance to the closest Natura 2000 site (i.e., over 2 km)
would indicate that emissions from the Portlaoise Feed Mill site would have no significant impact on
any Natura 2000 site. The abatement and control systems (i.e., bag filters and cyclone units) provide
efficient controls to minimise process dust emissions from the facility and any potential impacts
beyond the site boundary. Cyclones are mechanical separators that utilise centrifugal force to remove
large and high-volume dust from the process. Dust collected in the bottom of the cyclones is returned
to the process and re used.
- Boiler Emissions
Flue gas emissions from the boiler stack at the Portlaoise Feed Mill site were monitored for nitrous
oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide in December 2015. The monitoring
results were not significant. The emission levels coupled with the distance to the closest Natura 2000
site (i.e., over 2 km) would indicate that flue gas emissions from the Portlaoise Feed Mill site would
have no significant impact on any identified Natura 2000 site.
- Surface Water Emissions
Surface water emissions from the facility are mainly from storm water runoff from the facility roofs
and yard area. The surface water emissions are collected through storm water gullies located
throughout the site and then to the main storm water drain that then discharges to an on-site
settlement tank and full retention oil/water separator prior to discharge from the site. Storm water
leaving the Portlaoise Feed Mill discharges to the Laois County Council municipal surface water drain

and flows in an easterly direction and is discharged to the Golf Club Stream. From the Golf Club
Stream, the surface water flows east/southeast to the River Triogue which ultimately flows to the
River Barrow and River Nore SAC (002162). The River Triogue in the vicinity of the confluence with
the Golf Club Stream is classified as having a water quality of 3-4, which is a moderate status and
indicates no significant water quality issues at that point that could impact the Natura 2000 Site (i.e.,
River Barrow and River Nore SAC). There are no known significant impacts related to storm water
discharged from the Portlaoise Feed Mill that could result in a significant impact on any identified
Natura 2000 site.
- Sewer Emissions
There is no process emission to sewer from the Feed Mill. The toilet and wash facilities at the site are
connected directly to the council sewer mains and are sent to a waste water facility for treatment at
the Portlaoise Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). Following treatment in the WWTP, the treated
water is discharged to the River Triogue, which has a water quality of 3-4 (Moderate Status). The River
Triogue flows into the River Barrow (River Barrow and River Nore SAC [002162]) 5km downstream
from the WWTP. Sewer emissions related to the Portlaoise Feed Mill are negligible in the overall
context of inputs to the WWTP and considered not to have any significant impact on any identified
Natura 2000 site.
- Noise
The location of noisy equipment at the Portlaoise Feed Mill is within the facility buildings, which are
cladded structures so far as is practicable to minimise any external noise impact. Inspection and
maintenance of equipment are carried out as part of the preventive maintenance program to ensure
no additional noise emissions are emanating from the facility.
The facility is adjacent to the N80 Portlaoise Orbital Ring Road and close to the M7 Motorway which
is the primary route between Dublin, Limerick and Cork. Due to the site location and distance to the
closest Natura 2000 site it is not considered that any noise emissions related to the operation of the
Portlaoise Feed Mill site would significantly impact any identified Natura 2000 sites.
- Ambient Dust Emissions
There are a number of bulk material intake areas on site; each of the intake areas has a canopy to
prevent airborne dust emitting to atmosphere. There are also bulk storage bins and stores for raw
material, the emissions from these are considered to be ‘fugitive’ and will not give rise to negative air
quality impacts off-site.
e) Transportation Requirements
There will be no additional transportation requirements than that already in existence at the
Portlaoise Feed Mill site that would result in added impact to any of the identified Natura 2000 sites.
f) Duration of Construction, operation, decommissioning
There will be no construction related to the facility. The Portlaoise Feed Mill will continue to operate
at existing levels but will be regulated under an EPA Industrial Emission Licence. The site will have a
decommissioning management plan introduced as part of their EPA licence.
