Boylan Print Ltd. holds an IPPC Licence granted by the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) (Licence Register Number P0784-01) in 2007. In accordance with condition 11.6 of this

licence Boylan Print Ltd. are required to have a documented Annual Environmental Report

(AER). Boylan Print Ltd. moved into this property at the start of April 2005. For two years

prior to Boylan Print Ltd. acquiring the premises the site lay derelict. Before that time the

factory was owned by Thermal Heat Exchangers (Ireland) Ltd. who manufactured coil heat

exchangers and were licensed under Class 12.2 ‘The use of coating materials in processes

with a capacity to use at least 10 tonnes per year of organic solvents’.

Thermal Heat Exchangers (Irl) Ltd. had been using perchlorethylene (PCE) (otherwise known

as Tetrachloroethylene) as a degreasing solvent and migration of the solvent into the

subsoil’s from the degreaser had given rise to contamination of the subsoil’s underlying the

facility. According to the EPA inspectors report (September 1997), preliminary attempts to

substitute a less toxic solvent for PCE were not successful. In 1992 there was a diesel spill

onsite during the occupancy of Thermal Heat Exchangers (Irl.) Limited at the site.

Boylan Print Group was requested by the EPA in March 2013 to carry out a Hydrogeological

Investigation following correspondence from Boylan Print Group following the EPA Audit

Report. The agency requested that a full hydrogeological investigation be conducted in

accordance with British Standard 10175:2011 Code of practice for investigation of

potentially contaminated sites.

2 Site Description

2.1 Company Profile

The primary activity of Boylan Print Group is printing of magazines and leaflets for the Irish

market. The printing process utilises solvent based inks, silicone and paper as raw material.

The produced prints enter a binding and sealing process before packaging. The binding and

sealing process uses glue and binding compounds to compile the loose sheets of paper into

the finished magazine. The entire process results in emissions to atmosphere and to storm

water, and generates waste for disposal.

2.2 Environmental Policy

It is the policy of Boylan Print Group to conduct our operations in full compliance with all

relevant environmental laws and regulations; to perform our functions in a manner that

protects the health and safety of our customers, employees and neighbours; and to pursue

our business in a way that achieves economic goals while simultaneously addressing

environmental objectives.

Objectives:

Provide a safe, healthful and environmentally friendly workplace and ensure that personnel

are properly trained and have appropriate safety and emergency equipment.

Each employee and every contractor on Boylan’s premises is expected to follow this policy

and to report any environmental, health, or safety concern to Boylan Management.

Managers are expected to take prompt action.

Be an environmental responsible neighbour in the community where we operate, and act

promptly and responsibly to correct incidents or conditions that endanger health, safety, or

the environment. Report them to authorities promptly and inform affected parties as

appropriate.

Develop, manufacture, and market products that are safe for their intended use, protective

of the environment, and that can be reused, recycled or disposed of safely.

2.3 Manufacturing Process

The printing process is done via the Heat set web print machines. The two machines in

operation on the site are the Goss M600 16pp and the WebHarris 850C 32pp. The Goss

M600 16pp operates a hot air web offset dryer with the functions of drying, chilling and

guiding the web integrated in one single system and is named emission point A2-4.

Appendix 2

The WebHarris 850c 32pp has a Thermal Oxidiser which destructs process emissions created

by the printing press which is located at grid reference 310536, 276352 from emission point

A2-3. Attached with this document are the specifications of the subject thermal oxidiser.

Appendix 3

Flowcharts of the printing process used in the company are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2

below.

*Figures in BOLD denotes ELV breach

Exceedances occurred in CO emissions for the first 3 quarters for the 850c (A2-3) and for the first 2

quarters for the m600 (A2-4). In accordance with C.I 000183, the EPA asked for the two thermal

oxidisers to be serviced to help reduce the ELV exceedances. Servicing by a Goss engineer occurred

at the end of November before the Quarter 4 monitoring occurred, with the results being

satisfactory as seen above. Monitoring must occur during a print run as the thermal oxidisers are

not working when the machine is stopped which may have contributed to some exceedances

previously. A report of the works was submitted to the EPA via the EDEN portal.

7 Licence Specific Reports (IPPC licence P0784-01)

7.1 Noise Monitoring Report 2015

Fitz Scientific carried out a noise survey between the 10th and 11th August 2015. A summary

of the results are shown in Table 10 and Table 11 below. Under the EPA IPPC Licence P0784-

01 noise monitoring at Boylan Print in Drogheda, Co. Louth is required annually.

NSL2 01.10 61 61 60

N3 00.05 62 63 61

N4 23.00 62 63 61

Noise results indicate that Laeq(T) noise levels are in breach of EPA emission values of

55dB(A) during day time periods and 45dB(A) during night time periods. However external

noise emissions were determined to be significantly influential to the overall readings.

Daytime Results

Daytime results at all monitoring locations exceeded the guideline limits. At point NSL1 it

was obvious that the noise was elevated due to the close proximity to the busy main road.

This was also a factor in the exceedance at point NSL2. Along with this, the noise of the

chilling unit from the neighbouring facility created a loud audible noise. At point N3, the

Page 24: ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 2015 · Wooden Packaging No 6.48 Panda Waste WCP/MH/2001/01D /W0140-03 /W0060-03-1 15 01 03 Wood No 1.88 Panda Waste WCP/MH/2001/01D /W0140-03 /W0060-03-1

Page 24 of 36

exceedance was due to the activities of the neighbouring facility and the on-site waste

extraction unit. The dense hedge vegetation behind this monitoring location reduces the

noise emissions audible in the Boyne Business Park. At point N4, the industrial chiller unit

along with printing operations on the factory floor contributed to the exceedances. There is

dense hedge vegetation surrounding this location which reduces the noise to the sports

ground and waste land behind it.

Noise emissions N3 and N4 do not impact any residential dwelling.

Night time Results

Once again passing traffic was the main source of external noise influences during the

course of the ‘night-time’ monitoring.

During the night time monitoring it is believed that process noise from a neighbouring

facility (refrigerants/extractor fans) contributed to noise levels during the monitoring. While

the extractor was also in operation at the Boylan facility, it is not possible to determine if it

breached the noise threshold level of 45dB(A) due to the contribution of external noise

emissions in the surrounding environ.

Noise emissions N3 and N4 do not impact any residential dwelling.

7.2 Bunding

A correspondence from the agency on the 27th October 2009, (Ref:P0784-01/ak02ec) in

response to the correspondence submitted by Boylan Print Ltd. on the 7th October 2009

stated a water retention test was not required provided appropriate measures are in place

so that the bund is rendered impervious to the inks within. Measures included coating bund

walls with an impermeable epoxy resin, and as such the bund walls are impervious to inks.

A large bund holding anti-freeze was tested on the 9th December 2015. The bund failed and

a new bund was bought to replace it. Appendix 4

Integrity testing of all bunds is a component in the Environmental Management Programme

for 2016.

7.3 Financial Provision

On the 20th July 2015, an RMP and ELRA were submitted to the EPA which were rejected.

Boylan Print Group submitted a new RMP, on the 12th October 2015, and ELRA, on the 23rd

October 2015, to be reviewed by the EPA so a financial provision can be agreed.

7.5 Solvent Management Plan/Fugitive Emissions Programme

The fugitive emissions for 2015 were calculated by the following formula:

F = I1 — O1 — O5 — O6 — O7 — O8.

The annual solvent input for the year 2015 was calculated at 69,753.78 kg of TOC as C. The

fugitive emission represents 25% of the solvent input and thus does not exceed the

applicable fugitive emission limit of 30% as per EPA IPPC licence Condition 5.6. and Activity 3

of Schedule 2 of SI No 565 of 2012.

7.6 Hydrogeological Investigation

The investigation is still ongoing at the time of writing. The EPA has asked Boylan Group to install two further wells.

A proposal for these is to be sent into the EPA and these are the final wells to be drilled for this investigation.

Assuming there is no PCE contamination then bi-annual monitoring of the wells will be the outcome of the investigation until Boylan Print Group move location.

7.7 Air Emissions

Servicing of the two thermal oxidisers occurred by a Goss engineer on the 27th and 28th November 2015. The report was uploaded to EDEN on the 18th January 2016.

The Quarter 4 air monitoring occurred after this service and both emission points were under the allowed limit. Also the Quarter 1 air monitoring for 2016 was under the allowed limit.

The compliance investigation CI000183 has being closed.
