BnM Drehid Dust Q4 2019 Report 2 J154-01

January 2020

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In accordance with IED License Register No. W0201-03, Drehid Waste Management Facility is

required to carry out Depositional Dust monitoring at its site at Drehid / Killinagh, County Kildare.

The dust gauges were installed by the sites Environmental Compliance Officer on 30th September, 30

th

October and 27th November 2019. The dust deposition samples were then returned to the laboratory

for subsequent analysis.

One internal location (D6) and four boundary locations (D1, D2, D5 and D8) were monitored for

depositional dust in accordance with the Bergerhof method.

Dust Deposition;

The limit for dust deposition is given as 350mg/m2/day as per schedule B1 of the IED Licence. All

monitoring results for quarter 4 were well below the licence limit of 350mg/m2/day.

1.0 DUST DEPOSITION

1.1 Deposition Monitoring Locations

Dust deposition samples were taken at five locations within the site boundary. Table 1.1

below describes the sampling locations which are accurately marked on the environmental

monitoring map locations attached in Appendix 1.

D8 E=272958.41 N=228172.12 Main Entrance

2.0 Methodology

2.1 Dust Deposition

The Bergerhoff Dust Deposition Gauges used for this sampling survey consist of a plastic

collecting vessel and a stand with a protective cage. Each vessel was placed in the metal

basket which was positioned at a height of between 1.5 and 2 meters above ground level

according to the German Standard Method VDI 2119 (Measurement of Dustfall, Determination

of Dustfall using Bergerhoff Instrument (Standard Method) German Engineering Institute).

Prior to sampling, the collecting vessels were carefully cleaned with laboratory detergent,

rinsed with deionised water and allowed to dry. Following exposure, the sample bottles were

securely capped and returned to the laboratory for analysis (see Appendix 2 for Photographs).

2.2 Analysis

The samples were submitted to Advanced Laboratory Testing for analysis. Subsequent

analysis of all samples was carried out gravimetrically for dust. The results were expressed in

mg/m2/day. The Environmental Chemistry Test Certificate is attached in Appendix 3.
