Methodology
Traffic Management (TM) on existing N60 shall be set up as per TM plan. All TM will be confined to existing N60.
Before any excavations shall commence a permit to excavate shall be issued by authorised representative.
All personal involved in the operation shall be site inducted and briefed before works commence.
Topsoil shall be stripped using excavators and stockpiled within perimeter of compound fencing
Stone for compound surfacing shall be delivered in tipper truck and graded in to place using excavator
Once stone base is in place perimeter fencing shall be erected, all within the project permanent fenceline. This shall consist of steel palisade fencing. Once compound fencing and gates are in place mobilization of site offices and containers shall commence.
Typical Site layout shall be as shown on Fig 1 in Appendix A (attached)
Containers shall be delivered in flat-bed trucks and lifted off by excavators. Site Agent/Supervisor to ensure all lifting equipment has relevant GA 1 certificates before any lifting operations commence

Potential Ecological / Environmental Impacts, including impacts on Balla Turlough cSAC and/ or other European sites NIS / EAR: Relevant Extracts: Potential Impacts (in the absence of below Mitigation):
Potential Surface & groundwater contamination during construction.
Potential Increase in run-off volumes to Turlough during construction.
Pollution from Surface Water run-off during Construction. .
Mitigation:
The site compound shall not be placed within 100m of Turlough.(Refer to Figure 2 in appendix A for proposed Site Compound location)
All fuels, oils, greases, hydraulic fluids and chemical storage areas will be stored in bunded compounds/areas on impermeable bases at least 10m from the proposed drainage system and 100m from the cSAC and Un-named Turlough.
All waste from toilet blocks shall be stored in metal storage tank and disposed of by licensed waste company when required.
Fuel storage areas will be bunded to provide adequate retention capacity in the event of a leak or spillage occurring; and kept at least 10m from the proposed drainage system and 100m from the cSAC and Un-named Turlough.
Construction works carried out in the vicinity of the Turloughs will be monitored by a suitably qualified ecologist.
To reduce potential increases in flows into the drainage system and downstream Turloughs during construction, the period of exposure of bare areas and uncontrolled runoff from new hardstanding areas will be limited. Early covering/seeding/planting of exposed surfaces will be undertaken.
Material stockpiles will be kept to a minimum size, covered and located at least 10m from the drainage system and 100m from Turloughs.
To prevent contaminated or silt-laden runoff from entering the Turloughs, a range of temporary measures will be implemented, including silt fences, cut-off ditches, silt traps, straw bales, entrapment matting and drainage to vegetated areas.
Runoff will be controlled and, if required, directed to settlement ponds or sumps. Any temporary attenuation and treatment facilities will be designed and implemented in accordance with CIRIA C697 (2007). All temporary treatment systems will be regularly inspected and maintained.
The extent of construction activities will be controlled to limit vegetation removal and the exposure and/or compaction of soils. Land surrounding the immediate construction area will be fenced off, or otherwise demarcated, to prevent inadvertent intrusion from construction plant.
Construction works will be avoided during prolonged periods of very heavy rainfall adjacent to the Balla Turlough cSAC and Un-named Turlough.

No construction plant or construction vehicles to enter the Balla Turlough cSAC boundary other than where this boundary has already been generally encroached by the existing road.
Refuelling of machinery shall be carried out off-site, or when on-site not within 100m of turlough habitat.
No machinery to enter turlough habitats, no temporary access or haul routes are located in turlough habitats and no temporary storage areas, plant or other obstacles are located within turlough habitats.
Monitoring of turbidity (suspended solids) levels in Balla Turlough SAC and the Un-named Turlough will be undertaken on a monthly basis for a minimum of 6 months prior to construction and will include monitoring during the winter season when Turlough water levels are most likely to be present. Monitoring will also be undertaken on a weekly basis during construction for turbidity (suspended solids). In the event of suspended solids concentrations that are higher than the 95th %ile of those monitored during the pre-construction monitoring period, a review of the Sediment and Erosion Control measures and plan will be implemented and additional sediment control measures put in place as required. Daily visual inspections of Balla Turlough SAC and the Un-named Turlough will also be undertaken during the construction phase to confirm the absence of sediment from construction works.
The N60 Balla to Claremorris Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be implemented to prevent sediment or pollutants from reaching the Balla or Un-named Turloughs.
All mitigation contained within the N60 Environmental Assessment Report and NATURA Impact Statement shall be implemented in full.

Fractures, Strains, Sprains
Cuts, Lacerations, Abrasions
Injury through aggravation of
previous/existing medical
condition
3 2 6 -Use of mechanical assistance wherever possible,
e.g. forklift, plant, lifting appliance etc.
- Reduce loads by making them smaller or lighter.
- Ensure the working environment is suitable i.e. -
-- - Access ways are unimpeded and properly
lighted. - Working platforms should be non-slip
and kept clean
Ensure that the individual is lifting correctly,
maintains good posture, and lifts with knees bent
and back kept straight.
All loads should be assessed individually for size
and weight, but generally loads greater than 25kg
should be handled by more than one person or
mechanical means employed.
Operatives must wear appropriate gloves and
other clothing to reduce the risk of injury.
Ensure that all previously experienced back
complaints are brought to the attention of
management, in order that allowances may be
made in ascertaining the safest method of manual
handling.
