1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 SITE DETAILS

Licence Register No: P0207-03

Licensee Name: Intel Ireland

Address: Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, Co. Kildare

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF CAMPUS ACTIVITIES

1.2.1 Intel Ireland – Campus Overview

The Intel Ireland campus is located at Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, in County

Kildare. Intel Ireland Ltd is a subsidiary of Intel Corporation and the site at Leixlip is

Intel's sole manufacturing centre in Europe. The complex plays a significant role in

the company‟s continuing worldwide success. Intel Ireland first decided to locate a

technology campus in Ireland in 1989 and production of motherboards and systems

commenced in the following year. Since then, over $7.5 billion has been invested in

turning the 360 acre former stud farm into the most technologically advanced

industrial location in Europe.

The current IPPC licence (Register No. P0207-03) relates to the activity of the

manufacture of integrated circuits and printed circuit boards, surface coating

activities and the operation of combustion installations with a rated thermal input in

excess of 50 MW.

Three wafer fabrication buildings (or „Fabs‟) currently exist on site including Fab 10

and Fab 14 (collectively known as Ireland Fabrication Operations (‘IFO’) and Fab 24

(including Fab 24 and Fab 24-2). Fab 14 ceased production in late 2009 to position

the factory for future development and any production requirements either ceased or

were moved to the Fab 10 facility. During the course of 2010, Fab 10 was equipped

to run several individual products using 200mm wafer technology to produce logic

devices. Fab 24 processes 300mm wafers on both 90 and 65-nanometer process

technologies.

2

The campus is also home to other Intel Ireland businesses including the Intel®

Innovation Centre (IIC). The IIC has global responsibility to research and develop

innovative leading-edge IT solutions and technology. It involved a total investment by

Intel Ireland of over €12 million. The IIC is at the forefront of demonstrating how

Information Technology and Intel products can continue to deliver new competitive

advantage through the development of compelling new IT value propositions. The

centre, in partnership with NUI Maynooth, has set up the Innovation Value Institute, a

multi-disciplinary research and education institute, which was designed to help

achieve sustainable economic value from IT and quantify and understand the true

business value of strategic IT investments.

The Technology Research for Independent Living (TRIL) centre is located at the

Leixlip campus and is part of our Digital Health initiative. TRIL brings together world-

class industry and academic experts who are inventing and testing new technologies

with older people and their families to support them in continuing to live healthy and

independent lives. Intel Ireland funds over 50 PhD‟s and works closely with the

CRANN Nanoscience Research Centre in Trinity College Dublin and the Tyndall

National Research Institute in Cork.

Intel Ireland strives to be a trusted, leading corporate citizen. It aims to integrate

social responsibility and uncompromising integrity into everything we do, working to

advance people and better the planet through active commitment to education,

community and environmental sustainability. This is exemplified through initiatives

such as Intel Involved (an employee voluntary scheme for projects within the

community) and Community Advisory Panel (CAP, a group of diverse interests within

the community and Intel representatives which meet to discuss community projects

and issues on a quarterly basis)..

1.2.2 Manufacturing Facilities Overview

In 2010, Intel Ireland consisted of two manufacturing facilities on the site; IFO (Fab

10 and Fab 14) and Fab 24 (Fab 24 and Fab 24-2).

Fab 14 ceased manufacturing in late 2009 and all manufacturing operations which

took place there have either ceased or were moved to the Fab 10 facility. The

purpose of the shut down of Fab 14 was to position the facility for potential future

conversion and reuse. During 2010, a comprehensive decommissioning programme

was carried out at the Fab 14 facility under strict EHS conditions. This involved

3

decontamination of all production equipment in the cleanroom and all associated

abatement equipment. The majority of production tools and abatement systems

were de-installed and either sent to other Intel sites for reuse or disposed of by

approved waste vendors. The remaining equipment has been retained for future use.

During 2010, Fab 10 manufactured chips using advanced manufacturing technology

at the 0.13 and 0.25 micron node. In lay person‟s terms, at these nodes, millions of

transistors are created on an integrated circuit (chip) the size of a finger-nail.

Fab 24 first began producing the industry‟s most advanced 300mm/12” wafer

technology in 2004. The Fab 24 building is 52,000 square metres in size, which

includes a 15,000 square metre „Class 1‟ clean-room for the manufacture of chips.

Moving to 300mm wafers allows over twice the number of chips to be created on

each wafer compared with 200mm wafers, leading to a 30 per cent improvement in

productivity and costs. The sophistication of the process equipment and the level of

automation involved place Fab 24 at the very forefront of semiconductor

manufacturing which is widely recognised as the summit of manufacturing

technology.

Fab 24 manufactures single and multi-core microprocessors. There are two

manufacturing processes, 90nm (nanometre) which is in production since 2004 and

65nm which started in 2006. Fab 24 is a fully automated plant where all material

handling is fully automated and computer controlled.

Fab 24-2 is a newer facility, completed at the end of 2005. It is connected to Fab 24

and adds an additional 5,000 square metres of manufacturing „Class 1‟ clean-room

space, plus the necessary manufacturing equipment to enable the latest 65nm

technology. Production commenced in Fab 24-2 in the first quarter of 2006.

1.2.3 Process Steps Overview

Fabrication Plants which produce the silicon-based devices use complex processes

involving billions of dollars of equipment and 300-500 operational steps all housed in

an ultra-clean environment. The material does not move through the factory in a

linear fashion from front to back, but loops back on itself, revisiting some areas

sometimes more than twenty times.

The Fab buildings each contain major areas in which wafers are processed. These

areas are referred to as "Functional Areas" and include Diffusion, Lithography, Etch,

4

Thin Films and Planarization. The general principles of manufacturing

microprocessors are that the wafer is passed between the different areas to build up

a complex 3-dimensional device on the surface of the wafer. External contacts for

the microprocessors are made by what is known as the "Controlled Collapse Chip

Connect" process, also known as the “C4" process.

The manufacturing activities carried out on site fit into a number of categories. These

are:-

Diffusion: Where layers are introduced or „grown‟ on a semiconductor wafer

under high temperature conditions. Implanted chemicals are then introduced

to selectively change the electrical properties of sections of the wafer.

Lithography: creation of patterns for the electrical circuits on the wafer

surface in a process similar to photography using ultraviolet light passing

through apertures in a mask to selectively expose areas of the wafer.

Etch: translates the pattern created by lithography into a three-dimensional

structure by selectively etching channels into the surface substrates.

Thin Films: a film of material is introduced to either create conductive

interconnects between layers, electrical isolation or protection from the

environment.

Planarisation: the surface of the wafer is polished by the use of mechanical

and mild chemical abrasives to achieve a uniform flat layer.

Ion Implantation: used to introduce impurities or „dope‟ the silicon with

materials such as phosphorous, boron or arsenic. Implantation changes the

electrical characteristics of specific areas of the wafer.

The wafer will pass through each of these functional areas many times before

the full three-dimensional structure of each integrated circuit has been built

up. Each wafer may contain several hundred integrated circuit, with each die

forming the basis of a „silicon chip‟.

C4 Process: To allow each integrated circuit to be connected to a printed

circuit board for installation into computers, connections must be created to

connect the circuit to other electrical components on the board. For some

product types, these connections are produced in the "C4" process. During

this step, copper connects are introduced onto the circuit by an electrolytic

process. This process is currently only carried out in F24. Previously, IFO

5

used tin and lead connects instead of copper. However, C4 operations in IFO

ceased production during 2009.

Sort: Each chip is then electrically tested in a quality assurance step known

as Sort and then distributed to other Intel plants outside Ireland for final

packaging.

1.2.4 Environmental Abatement

Each fabrication building essentially carries out a similar manufacturing process with

progressive refinements for improved technology as smaller dimension technology is

introduced. Some variations do, however, occur in the treatment of waste generated

from certain processes. The major environmentally significant differences in

technology employed in Fab 24 from that in IFO include the following:-

Copper: The introduction of copper metal layers into the planarization, thin

films and C4 processes and the treatment of copper wastes arising.

VOC Abatement: Rotary concentrator / thermal oxidiser (RCTO) units have

been included in Fab 24 (and also retrofitted into Fab 10) to treat the

concentrated solvent exhausts from wafer manufacturing operations.

POU Scrubbers and Hydrofluoric/Phosphoric Acid Waste Treatment:

Additional Point of Use (POU) scrubber systems were introduced to reduce

emissions of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and provide enhanced

fluoride removal from air emissions.

Hydrofluoric/Phosphoric Acid process effluent is also produced whereby

fluoride/phosphate containing wastewaters (including the additional POU

systems) are converted to a benign solid waste as per existing practice in

Fab 10.

Ammonia Exhaust System: The introduction of an ammonia exhaust system

has segregated ammonia emissions from the main acid gas scrubber

systems and optimised the removal efficiency of both treatment systems.

This has resulted in a reduction in overall emissions.

Ammonia Wastewater Treatment System: In order to reduce the amount of

ammonia based compounds being discharged to the Leixlip Wastewater

Treatment Plant (WWTP), an Ammonia Wastewater Treatment System has

been installed at Fab 24. A proportion of ammonia based compounds are

6

collected and converted into ammonium sulphate. The treated wastewater,

which now has a much reduced concentration of ammonia, is then

discharged to Leixlip WWTP. The only other discharge from the Treatment

System is a vent which is classified as a minor emission point.

1.2.5 Support Activities

To support manufacturing operations, a number of on-site utilities including chemical

storage and handling facilities, ultra pure water treatment plant, bulk gas plants,

boilers and chillers along with wastewater treatment plants are required. These

provide the raw materials, conditions and services necessary for the manufacturing

process.

1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Intel Ireland operates a rigorous Environmental Management System (EMS), which

is independently certified to the international environmental management standard,

ISO 14001:2004. An EMS is a requirement of our Integrated Pollution Prevention

and Control (IPPC) licence. Having a certified EMS creates additional confidence in

the standard of our environmental controls.

The aspects of energy management are embedded in our Environmental Systems

and Policy. Hence, the site's Energy Policy is incorporated into the overall

Environmental Policy. The Intel Ireland site received accreditation to the Irish Energy

Management Standard (IS 393:2005) in December 2007 and to EN 16001 in June

2010.

In line with ISO 14001 and EN 16001 requirements, and to demonstrate the sites

commitment to Environmental Management, Intel Ireland has developed an

Environmental Policy. This policy is reviewed, updated and then signed by the site

managers on an annual basis. A copy of the 2011 Environmental Policy is outlined

overleaf.

* For the purposes of the 2010 Annual Environmental Report and Pollutants Release and Transfer Register (PRTR), Intel Ireland has calculated the annual average wastewater mass emissions of the incoming „City Water‟ and subtracted this from the annual Intel Ireland wastewater mass emissions. Where there is a “less than” value, some results were below the limit of detection for this parameter. A submission to the Agency regarding the modification to the mass calculation method was submitted on the 15

th of March 2005. Where the incoming mass emission has been greater than or equal to

the wastewater mass emission the cell has been left blank.

Note 1: Inorganic Suspended Solids were monitored in 2010 after being added as a licence parameter through a technical amendment received in 2010 (Technical Amendment A to licence register no. P0207-03).

Note 2: Total Heavy Metals is the sum of Arsenic, Tin, Lead, Chromium, Nickel and Copper

12

Where the concentrations of parameters measured during 2010 were reported as below

the limit of detection, the parameter has been assumed to be equal to the detection limit

to enable average concentrations and annual emission rates to be calculated. The

reported concentrations and emission rates are thus reported as „less than‟ the

calculated values.

A detailed summary of all wastewater emissions to Leixlip WWTP is included in the

PRTR found in Appendix A.

2.1.2 Emissions to Surface Water

Under Condition 6.1 of the IPPC licence, we are required to carry out the monitoring as

detailed in Schedule C.2.3. A summary of the analysis results is detailed in Table 2.3.

2.1.3 Emissions to Atmosphere

This section provides a summary of the annual emissions to atmosphere from licensed

emission points identified in Intel‟s IPPC Licence. Emissions are derived from five main

sources including:

boiler and generator emission sources (NOx and CO);

acid scrubber exhausts (acid gases);

specialty exhausts (arsenic and total dusts);

RCTO Emissions (volatile organic compounds, VOC, NOx and CO).

Table 2.4 compares annual average mass emission limits for 2009 and 2010 against

equivalent maximum mass emission limits for those years. The equivalent mass

emission limit was calculated by multiplying the concentration emission limit value by

the flow limit for each emission point. The equivalent mass emission limits calculated

for 2010 excluded licenced emissions for Fab 14 due to the Fab 14 shutdown. Hence,

the 2010 equivalent mass emission limits are slightly lower than the calculated limts

for 2009.

Although there is no equivalent mass emission limit for the site‟s NOx and CO

emissions (from boilers and RCTOs), due to the fact that there are no flow ELVs for

the boilers, all results were below the concentration ELVs for these parameters.

There was an increase in NOx emissions due to an increase in diesel consumption

for the boilers and emergency generators in 2010.

One may observe from the table that the total fluoride, gaseous hydrofluoric acid and

total acids mass emissions from 2010 are approximately double the emissions for

2009. This was due to a change in air monitoring vendor in Q4 2009. The new

vendor employed different sampling methodologies which led to elevated results for

some parameters but all results were within IPPCL limits.

The TA Luft Organics Class 3 and TOC results for 2009 are high due to an

anomalous result for one of the quarterly monitoring events which skewed the mass

emission results for the year.

Overall the amount of hazardous waste generated in 2010 decreased. This is

predominantly related to the downturn in production. Also Fab 14 ceased production in

late 2009 with no replacement manufacturing process in Fab 14 in 2010. Similarly,

operations in Fab 10 were reduced in 2010. The amount of waste disposed of

increased in 2010 mainly due to Fab 14 de-installation waste shipments in Q1 2010 and

also a reduced volume of waste which is usually recycled at Fab 10 (e.g. solvent waste

tankers). Overall in 2010, corrosive debris increased. This is again related to the Fab 14

de-installation work which generated large volumes of corrosive pipework, tank systems

and tools for breakdown. General solvent waste decreased due to the elimination of

solvent waste flows from Fab 14 and reduced production in Fab 10. Concentrated

lead/metal waste flows reduced due to the discontinuation of the lead process and

associated lead treatment system in Fab 14. Similarly, the amount of resin sent off-site

decreased as the dilute lead waste resin exchange system was removed from Fab 14.

Concentrated copper waste decreased as a new method of removal of CCW sludge was

implemented. This is further described in our EMP section (Table 3.3). The volume of

batteries generated in 2010 was much less than 2009 as in 2009 there was large scale

change out and de-installation of UPS systems at the site.

In 2010, the volumes of non-hazardous waste generated from site remained similar to

2009 due to on-going de-installation works in the Fab 14 facility. The tonnage of waste

to recovery increased in 2010, while waste volumes to landfill decreased significantly

from 2009 (primarily due to a decrease in calcium fluoride filter cake.) Overall, the

percentage of non-hazardous waste recovered increased from 77.5% in 2009 to 89.7%

in 2010 as a result of an increase in generation of recoverable waste from the Fab 14

de-installation project and continuous improvement in waste segregation at waste

contractor‟s facilities.

included in the PRTR found in Appendix A.

2.3 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

2.3.1 Introduction

This section identifies resource and energy use on site and outlines reduction measures

used by the company.

The management systems in place for the design of wafer fabrication facilities and the

associated processes ensure that raw material usage and energy use arising from site

activities are further reduced at source per unit produced for successive generations of

technologies where possible. The environmental goals of minimisation, substitution and

recycling are employed to ensure resource use is minimised and resources are used

efficiently.

Raw material conservation, emission and waste reduction are achieved through a

combination of:-

Cleaner and more efficient process technology to reduce raw material inputs and

produce lower emissions and wastes

Material substitution with lower toxicity alternatives or those that generate lower

emissions such as low volatility chemicals

Recycling or recovery of raw materials and waste products

In addition to chemical and gas consumption minimisation, resource conservation is

focused on the efficient use of electricity, gas and water on the site.

Details of the methods employed and results are briefly described in Sections 2.3.2 to

2.3.3 below.

2.3.2 Design for the Environment (Technology Goals)

Intel Corporation develops and delivers a new chip manufacturing technology

approximately every two years. The development cycle starts typically with six years

external research in universities and government labs, followed by approximately four

years joint research and development between Intel and suppliers followed by two years

process development to produce a fully functional technology before transfer to high

volume manufacturing (Figure 2.1). Intel has recognised that there is an opportunity for

22

early engagement to effect change for environmental benefit during external and joint

research, in addition to when the process is in high volume manufacturing mode.

However, the optimum time to effect change for environmental design of the process is

during the 2 years of final process development. The Intel Environmental Technology

Development (TD) group is involved throughout this timeframe and has input into

manufacturing process development, chemical selection, waste management, facility

systems design and manufacturing equipment selection.

Figure 2.1 Effecting change during Intel process technology development

For each technology, goals are set for specific types of emissions, for example: - mass

of VOCs or copper emitted per wafer produced. The methodology used for the setting of

these goals is to first evaluate the receiving environment at each of the High Volume

Manufacturing (HVM) sites. Items considered during this review would include existing

site permits, local area regulations, wastewater treatment plant capacity, air and water

quality standards and demographic growth projections. Against this data is set projected

wafer manufacturing capacities at each of the HVMs for each of the technologies. From

this are derived acceptable emissions/wafer figures for each of the HVM sites. To set

the corporate goal, the lowest emission/wafer figure so calculated is used. Once the

23

goals have been ratified at the appropriate management level, measures are put in

place during the development cycle to ensure the targets are met. Measures include

material selection, material substitution, recipe optimisation, emissions treatment and

waste segregation. In this way, the Corporation aims to ensure that the transfer of

technologies to the HVMs can be successfully transferred without detrimental effect on

the local environment.

Once the technology is transferred to a receiving HVM site, such as Intel Ireland, actual

emissions per unit of product for each parameter are sampled and reported to

development and receiving factory site management to confirm that, when the

technology is run in high volume manufacturing conditions, it performs to the goals that

the Technology Development (TD) group is required to deliver.

The oldest technology being manufactured at the Ireland site (0.35 micron) was

developed in 1995. The latest technology (0.065 micron or 65 nanometres) started

manufacture at Intel Ireland in 2006. The 0.35 micron technology line is now a small

portion of the overall capacity at Intel Ireland. The vast majority of current capacity runs

the more advanced technologies where the benefits of emissions reductions are

realised.

Since the inception of the environmental technology goals process, a number of

additional parameters have been included in the more recent years. Currently Intel has

technology goals for reducing emissions and waste per wafer produced including the

following parameters:

Emissions to Atmosphere:

o PFC, VOC and HAPs

Emissions to Waste Water

o CMP Solids

o Ammonia

o Copper

o Lead

o Nickel

24

o Cobalt

o Tin

o Fluoride

Waste

o Mass of chemical waste

2.3.3 Supplier Environmental Performance Targets

Equipment or „tool‟ design is a significant area of research for Intel and Intel„s equipment

suppliers. Intel requires that equipment suppliers design tools to minimise environmental

emissions and resource consumption by including specific target emission levels on a

per wafer processed basis in the equipment contractual purchase specifications. This

practice ensures environmental considerations are designed into the process tools from

the conceptual phase. Tool vendors are required to select gases and chemicals that can

meet the target and must then carry out emissions characterisation on exhaust and

waste streams. Since Intel introduced environmental emission targets to equipment

vendor purchase specifications, the vendors have become more aware of the

environmental considerations arising from their tools and are often in a more appropriate

position than Intel to address any issues.

2.3.4 Water Consumption and Minimisation

The usage of water is a function of several variables including production levels and

water conservation measures in place. There is a base loading on the factories that is

independent of production levels arising from systems such as cooling towers and

exhaust air treatment systems. Therefore, when a facility is operating at lower

production rates, water usage expressed in terms of volume per unit produced can be

adversely affected. For this reason total water consumption is provided for the site

overall. There is a marked decrease in water consumption in 2010. This is mainly

related to the shutdown of Fab 14. In addition, in 2010, a water conservation project

was completed which will result in annualized savings of water of 268,440 m3. Details of

25

this project are outlined in Section 3.2 (Environmental Management Programme Report

2010).

Table 2.10 - Total Water consumption for Site

Parameter 2009 2010

Total Water Usage (m3) 4,239,451 3,758,950

2.3.5 Energy Consumption

Consumption of energy (electricity, natural gas and oil) for 2009 and 2010 are detailed in

Table 2.11, and is followed by a discussion of results.

Table 2.11 - Annual Energy Usage - Electricity, Gas and Oil

Parameter 2009 2010

Total Electricity Usage (MWh) 471,460 404,813

Total Natural Gas Usage (MWh) 168,420 173,400

Total Oil Usage (tonnes) 123 266

Total electricity usage decreased overall in 2010. This is attributable to the de-

installation of the Fab 14 manufacturing area and also the implementation of energy

savings projects. A sample of energy savings projects are provided in our

Environmental Management Programme (EMP) section. Gas consumption slightly

increased due to the damage to the coils of the Fab 24 Heat Recovery System in

February 2010 caused by severe cold weather. The increase in oil consumption

compared to 2009 levels is attributable to the increased running of emergency

generators (due to power disruptions) and running boilers on oil (due to interruptions

in natural gas supply) during 2010.

26

2.3.6 Material Efficiency

2.3.6.1 Process Optimisation for Material Efficiency

Due to the very minute dimensions that are patterned onto a wafer during

manufacture, process chemical and gas flow set points need to be very exact.

Process optimisation through the statistical „Design of Experiments‟ methodology

is a practice used extensively throughout the process to determine the wafer

processing recipe set points such as gas and chemical flows and power during

technology development.

Using this method, tests are carried out by varying equipment recipe set points

and measuring the result on the wafer. For example, in a dry etch process; set-

point variables for an etchant gas may be tested at flow rates of 10, 12, 14 and

16 sccm. The flow that provides optimum results on the surface of the wafer is

selected. Process optimisation ensures that excess chemicals, gases or energy

are not consumed which conserves resources.

The move from 8 inch to 12 inch wafers has meant significant efficiencies are

achieved in relation to raw materials used per number of product units

manufactured. The 12 inch (or 300mm) wafer carries more than twice the

number of dies that can be produced on an 8 inch wafer. This economy of scale

has given rise to an increase in production without a proportional increase in

consumption of raw materials.

2.3.6.2 Yield Improvements

In all the manufacturing technologies operated on site, yield improvement is a

focus area. This covers the line yield, (the number of wafers that are not

scrapped in line), as well as die yield (which is the number of functioning die

per wafer at end of line). The continuous effort to improve yield gives rise to

more efficient use of raw material, thereby conserving resources.

For example; certain compounds reduce the number of defects on the product

which can cause failures in circuits and reducing die yield. Failed circuits are

discarded at end of process and require replacements. Use of these chemicals

27

reduce these process losses and makes the manufacturing process more

efficient, thereby reducing overall emissions and resource use per unit of

production.

2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL INCIDENTS AND COMPLAINTS

2.4.1 Environmental Incidents

This section details the Environmental Incidents that occurred in 2010. Condition 11.7

of the Intel Ireland IPPC Licence required that -

The licensee shall submit to the Agency, by the 31st March of each year, an AER

covering the previous calendar year. This report, which shall be to the satisfaction of the

Agency, shall include as a minimum the information specified in Schedule D and shall

be prepared in accordance with any relevant guidelines issued by the Agency.

There was one environmental incident in 2010 as follows:

Exceedance of Volumetric Flow Limit at F10 and F24 RCTO Oxidisers (27th April

2010):

Intel Ireland changed the air monitoring vendor for Q4 2009. During routine air

emissions monitoring by the new air monitoring vendor, it was discovered that the

volumetric flows from the Fab 10 and Fab 24 RCTO oxidiser stacks (when corrected for

Standard Temperature, Pressure, Density and Oxygen) exceeded the volumetric flow

limit specified in the site‟s IPPC licence. Our previous monitoring vendor had not

corrected the volumetric flow rate to 18% oxygen, as stated in condition 4.2.2 of our

licence.

It is important to note that the RCTO abatement system settings and flow rates have

been constant during the vendor change and the pollutant concentrations at the RCTO

units are substantially below the emission limit values as set out in our IPPC licence.

Based on modelled flow rates of 6,000 Nm3/hr, there are no impacts of environmental

significance. Therefore, a Technical Amendment to our licence was submitted to the

EPA to seek a flow limit of 4,000 Nm3/hr. This amendment was approved by the Agency

28

on the 1st March 2011 and is known as Technical Amendment B to the IPPC licence

(Register No. P0207-03).

In addition to the event above, we also reported the following events relating to

abatement and monitoring equipment to the EPA during 2010 (Tables 2.12 and 2.13). It

is important to note that during abatement system events, the associated monitoring

equipment showed that air emissions remained below licence limits at all times. In the

case of monitoring equipment failure, contingency monitoring showed that all air

emissions were in compliance.

support from the environmental department.

Corporate Affairs maintains a log of all environmental complaints received from the

public. This log contains information regarding the complainant and the nature of the

complaint. Each complaint is communicated to the environmental department, the

complaint is investigated and an appropriate response is determined. Details of the

response are held in the complaints log.

There were no complaints of an environmental nature received in 2010.

3.0 MANAGEMENT OF THE ACTIVITY

3.1 SCHEDULE OF ENIVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS

Under Condition 2.2.2.2 of Intel‟s IPPC licence (Register No. P0207-03), Intel is obliged

to do the following:

“The licensee shall maintain a Schedule of Environmental Objectives and

Targets. The Schedule shall as a minimum provide for a review of all operations

and processes, including an evaluation of practicable options, for energy and

resource efficiency, the use of cleaner technology, cleaner production, and the

prevention, reduction and minimisation of waste, and shall include waste

reduction targets. The Schedule shall include time frames for the achievement of

set targets and shall address a five- year period as a minimum. The Schedule

shall be reviewed annually and amendments thereto notified to the Agency for

agreement as part of the Annual Environmental Report (AER)”.

Intel Corporate EHS reviews the company‟s significant aspects and maintains a rolling 5

year objectives and targets plan to reduce the impact on these aspects. The most recent

revision (2009) is detailed in Table 3.1. Intel Ireland reviews and updates the site‟s

significant aspects on an annual basis which takes into account corporate and other

requirements as well as legislative requirements. The Environmental Management Plan

(EMP) status report for 2010 is detailed in Section 3.2 and the proposed objectives and

targets for 2011 are described in Section 3.3.

2.1 Achieve a measurable target to align with corporate goal of 10% reduction by 2012 based on 2007 levels.

2.1.1 Implement corporate driven projects associated with waste minimisation

No corporate projects were required for completion at the Ireland site in 2010. However, one project was implemented to reduce the volume of CCW waste transported off-site for recovery. Instead of sending this waste as a part sludge and majority liquid, the system for collection of waste was changed to remove the sludge to totes and decant the remaining residual liquid. This will result in annual savings of this waste of approximately 56 tonnes based upon a PM schedule on the CCW system which generates this waste once per quarter.

Objective No. 3: Recycle 80% of chemical waste generated per year


3.1 80% recycling rate for chemical waste (hazardous waste and non-hazardous filter cake)

3.1.1 Find recycling outlet for filter cake - potentially could boost recycling rate by 16%

Overall site recycling for corporate-defined chemical waste was 66% for 2010. The site did not meet the corporate goal due to project-related chemical waste being generated from F14 de-installation. Intel will still actively pursue the recovery of its calcium fluoride filter cake as this is a corporate-derived goal for all sites. Currently no recovery is available to Ireland, China and Israel sites. In 2010, Intel Ireland again approached cement kilns in Ireland and Europe to find a recovery outlet. Intel Ireland has not yet been successful in achieving this goal mainly due to technical issues with sending this waste material to cement kilns and also Ireland generated relatively small volumes for this to be economically viable.

In Progress

Note 1: Chemical waste at Intel Ireland is defined as all chemical type waste. This definition includes calcium fluoride filter cake which is classified as non-hazardous waste in line with Irish and EU legislation.

3.4 POLLUTION EMISSION REGISTER

3.4.1 Introduction

This section includes an introduction to Intel‟s PER, a summary of the methodology

used to assess these pollutants and a pollution emission register table.

The Pollution Emission Register (PER) is a requirement of the Integrated Pollution

Prevention and Control Licence (Register No. P0207-03), as issued to Intel Ireland

Ltd. Specifically, under Condition 6.16.1 of the Integrated Pollution Control Licence,

the following is noted:

6.16.1 The licensee shall prepare and maintain a PER for the site. The

substances to be included in the PER shall be agreed by the Agency each

year by reference to the list specified in the Agency’s AER Guidance Note.

The PER shall be prepared in accordance with any relevant guidelines issued

by the Agency and shall be submitted as part of the AER.

As per Condition 6.16.1, Intel Ireland submitted a proposal for the 2010 PER in the

Annual Environmental Report for 2009. This PER includes fluoride and copper and

the rationale for including these parameters has been outlined in the proposal in last

year‟s AER.

3.4.2 Summary of Methodology for Substances Requiring A Full PER

3.4.2.1 Copper

Intel Ireland uses electroplated copper interconnects in the fabrication of

microchips in the 300 mm fabrication facility in F24.

Electroplating facilitates the deposition of a metal film by using current to

provide electrons to convert metal ions to metal atoms at a conductive

interface. A thin copper seed layer is deposited on the silicon wafer prior to

electro-deposition (to provide a conductive layer for the deposition process).

The wafer is then immersed in an electrolytic solution containing copper ions

where deposition of a copper film is accurately controlled by the application of

an electric current. The current is passed between the anode (copper disc)

and the cathode (wafer) where copper metal is deposited on the conductive

seed layer. A copper anode replenishes the electrolytic solution with copper

ions as they are consumed at the cathode.

50

Two tools sets are employed in the thin films process in F24 to facilitate the

electroplating process. After passing through the electroplating tool set, the

wafers proceed to copper polish where the deposited copper films are

polished down. Several metal layers are deposited on each production wafer.

Copper is also used in the copper bump plating tools in the C4 process.

The Fab 24 electroplating process produces copper contaminated waste.

These waste types include concentrated copper waste (CCW), dilute metal

waste (DMW), slurry copper waste (SCW) and spent copper anodes. The

majority of the CCW waste is treated on-site by electro-winning and copper

balls are produced during this process. Both SCW and DMW waste streams

are dilute copper effluents which are treated by ion-exchange prior to

discharge to process wastewater.

The following table (Table 3.24) summarises the inputs and outputs that are

considered in the copper pollution emission register for 2010.

Table 3.24 - Summary Table of Copper Inputs/Outputs

Inputs Outputs

Copper Make-up Solutions CCW Waste Copper Balls

Copper Anodes Concentrated Copper Waste (CCW) Liquid Waste

Copper Media for CCW Dilute Metal Waste (DMW) Resin.

Slurry Copper Waste (SCW) Resin.

Used/Recovered Copper Anodes

Copper deposited onto the wafer/product

Copper in wastewater discharge to Leixlip WWTP

The mass balance contains theoretical estimated averages of copper plated

on wafers and copper anodes and hence, this will contribute to uncertainty in

the results. Therefore, approximately 7% of the copper is unaccounted for but

this may be explained by the estimations used in the mass balance

calculations.

51

3.4.2.2 Fluoride

Intel uses compounds containing fluoride in a number of process steps in the

manufacture of semiconductors. During the process, the wafers pass through

each of the functional areas a number of times to build up a complex 3-D

device on the surface of the wafer. Fluoride is used in its different forms in

the following steps:

Diffusion (Hydrogen Fluoride in gaseous and acid form).

Etch (PFC gases and Hydrogen Fluoride acids).

Thin Films (PFC gases).

Fluoride-containing wastewater is treated on-site by precipitation with calcium

hydroxide to form calcium fluoride as a solid waste.

The following potential inputs/outputs (Table 3.25) are considered in the

fluoride mass balance analysis for 2010.

Table 3.25 - Summary Table of Fluoride Inputs/Outputs

Inputs Outputs

PFCs and other fluorinated gases Fluorine, HF and PFCs in atmospheric emissions

Fluorinated liquid chemicals Fluoride in wastewater emissions

Fluoride in solid waste

For the mass balance for fluoride, Intel assumed that the balance of fluoride

was contained in the calcium fluoride cake. Intel was unable to source a

laboratory to conduct the total fluoride analysis and therefore was unable to

validate the amount of fluoride in the cake.

Therefore, there is some uncertainty associated with the mass balance

results for this parameter.

3.4.4 Pollution Emission Register (PER) Proposal for 2011

Section 6.16.1 of Intel Ireland‟s IPPC licence number P0207-03 detailed below,

specifies that an agreed PER list shall be included in the AER.

6.16.1 The licensee shall prepare and maintain a PER for the site. The

substances to be included in the PER shall be agreed by the Agency each

year by reference to the list specified in the Agency’s AER Guidance Note.

The PER shall be prepared in accordance with any relevant guidelines issued

by the Agency and shall be submitted as part of the AER.

Pending the requirement to submit a PER in 2011, we propose the following

substances for a full Pollution Emission Register (PER) mass balance:

Total Fluoride

Copper

These substances have been included due to their potential environmental toxicity.

4.2 RIVER RYE WATER MONITORING REPORT

As per Condition 6.1 and Schedule C.6.4 of the IPPC Licence, the River Rye water was

sampled for the following range of parameters:

Intel Ireland commissioned Bord na Móna Environmental Ltd to carry out an assessment of the

quality of surface water at a number of locations along the River Rye, upstream and

downstream of the surface water retention pond outlet (i.e. Intel‟s surface water discharge point

to the river). A summary report for both monitoring events is shown in Appendix C

4.3 LOUISA SPA WATER QUALITY MONITORING REPORT

As per Schedule C.6.5 of the site IPPC licence, the following monitoring is required:

56

The services of TMS Environment Ltd. were employed to carry out the sampling and analysis of

this well and their report is summarised in Appendix D.

4.4 BUND TESTING SUMMARY

Under Condition 3.6.6 of Intel Ireland‟s IPPC licence (Register No. P0207-03), Intel Ireland is

required to carry out bund integrity testing at least every three years. Intel Ireland commissioned

Project Management Ltd. to carry out visual bund inspections by a qualified structural engineer

in 2009. In addition, all bunds were assessed to determine whether it was necessary, safe and

practicable to conduct hydrostatic testing in line with the EPA‟s Guidance Note on Storage and

Transfer of Materials for Scheduled Activities. Following on from this report a number of bunds

were hydrostatically tested across the site, results of which are included in Appendix E of this

report. Five bunds failed the hydrostatic testing and Intel will repair and retest these bunds

during 2011.

4.5 UNDERGOUND PIPE AND TANK INTEGRITY TESTING SUMMARY

Under Condition 6.6 of Intel‟s IPPC licence (Register No. P0207-03), Intel Ireland is required to

ensure that:

6.6 The integrity and water tightness of all underground pipes and tanks and their

resistance to penetration by water or other materials carried or stored therein shall be

57

tested and demonstrated by the licensee at least once every three years and reported to

the Agency on each occasion. A written record of all integrity tests and any maintenance

or remedial work arising from them shall be maintained by the licensee.

The Fab 24 process effluent pipe integrity testing was completed in 2010. Debris was found in

line during the first survey and the line was cleaned and resurveyed and found to be in

satisfactory condition. Please refer to Appendix F for full report.

In relation to underground tank testing, Intel commissioned AD Analytical Ltd. to conduct a

retesting of the F10 upper yard tank following both valves in tank being replaced. The tank

passed the integrity test and the report is included in Appendix G.

4.6 AMBIENT AIR MONITORING SUMMARY

Ambient Air Monitoring was carried out at the Intel Ireland facilities in accordance with Schedule

C.6.1 of the IPPC Licence.

The parameters to be measured were oxides of nitrogen (continuous), nitrogen dioxide

(biannual), total fluoride (bi-annual) and total acidity (biannual).

A continuous monitor measuring oxides of nitrogen is installed at the on-site weather station

and the results are trended on a monthly basis.

Nitrogen dioxide diffusion tubes are placed at five locations surrounding the site. Results ranged

from below LOD to 32 µg/m3.

In addition, ambient air monitoring surveys were carried for the following periods:-

4th – 11th June 2010

26th November – 2nd December 2010

These surveys were conducted at two sampling locations, A1 and A2. A1 is located close to the

on-site sports centre (to the south west of the facility) while A2 is located in the field to the north

of the facility.

Total acidity (as HCl) ranged from below LOD to 6.1 µg/m3 and total fluoride ranged from below

LOD to 1.5 µg/m3.

58

4.7 FUGITIVE EMISSIONS PROGRAMME

The company is required under Condition 6.7.2 of the IPPC Licence to maintain a fugitive

emissions program in order to achieve the limits specified in Condition 6.7.1. That condition

specifies that fugitive emission losses shall not exceed 15% of total solvent input.

Fugitive emissions from Intel Ireland are minor and well controlled. They primarily arise from the

use of Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) used for cleaning of equipment and surfaces within the

cleanrooms. This IPA is used either as saturated wipes or as a liquid in combination with dry

wipes.

On a quarterly basis, “VOC Indicators” are calculated. These calculate the total quantity of

solvents used as well as the fugitive emissions. These calculations confirm that fugitive losses

are well below the limit of 15% (as a percentage of total solvent use) set in Condition 6.7.1. The

company intends to keep in place current controls on the use of IPA to continue to remain in

compliance with this limit.

Furthermore, the company submitted a proposal to the EPA in May 2006 in relation to draft

criteria for shutting down production processes in the event of non-compliance, equipment

failure and/or by-pass. The Agency approved this proposal by letter dated 13th June 2006

subject to a number of conditions including the requirement that “All by-passes (of the VOC

abatement equipment) shall be recorded and included in the fugitive emissions reduction

programme”.

All such by-passes (>1 hour duration) are recorded (and communicated to the Agency) and

these by-passes are included in the calculation of the quarterly VOC Indicators. Every effort is

made to bring the abatement equipment back on line in the shortest possible time.

During 2010, there were 12 periods when VOC abatement equipment was offline across the

site, due to planned shut-downs, preventive maintenance, natural gas interruptions and RCTO

equipment malfunctions. Four of these occurrences ranged from durations of 2 – 6 days, the

remaining 8 occurrences were less than 2 days in duration.

Furthermore, the company retains in place the protocol which was introduced in 2007 to ensure

that by-passes of abatement units are minimised and any by-passes which last for longer than

one week are communicated to and approved by senior site management.

4.8 PERFLUORINATED CARBON (PFC) EMISSIONS REPORT

4.8.1 Methodology of PFC Emissions Calculations

Following correspondence between the EPA and Intel Ireland during 1999, the following

programme was agreed on 17th May 1999 under EPA reference M207/GC/11 in relation to

substances that have a significant global warming potential:

In view of the company’s argument that details of gas usage would place the company at

a competitive disadvantage, details of inputs and outputs need not be given in any

written report to the Agency, but individual annual tonnage figures for Emissions of C2F6,

CF4, and SF6 must be reported separately. A full record of how the figures were

calculated must be available on-site at Intel Ireland Ltd to authorised persons of the

Agency at all times.

The tables at the end of this section (Tables 4.7 to 4.10) give individual annual tonnage figures

for emissions of the three gases required by the Agency (C2F6, CF4, and SF6) and a

consolidated figure for three other fluorinated gases (CHF3, NF3 and C4F8). For ease of

comparison between each of the gases and to allow for comparison from year to year, the

emissions have also been expressed as Million Metric Tonnes Carbon Equivalent (MMTCE)

which is a standard way for expressing emissions of PFCs.

The 2010 data was compiled and computed in the following manner:-

Several companies supply Intel Ireland with speciality gases for their manufacturing

process. These gases are issued on a periodic basis from Intel Ireland‟s chemical and

gas warehouses to the fabrication manufacturing plant. Intel Ireland then produces a

report detailing the number and size of gas cylinders issued to the wafer fabrication

operations.

In calculating emissions, a constantly improved method is periodically agreed between

all European semiconductor-manufacturing facilities. These companies are members of

European Semiconductors Industry Association (ESIA). The data from each company is

then collated by this association on an aggregate basis annually to give one emission

data point notated in MMTCE units. (Million Metric Tonnes Carbon Equivalent – a

universally accepted metric for global warming impact). The collation of the Intel Ireland

60

data is kept by the Environmental Engineer on a shared drive within the department‟s

EMS data retention system.

For methodical calculations, the assumption currently adopted within the industry and

ratified by the World Semiconductor Council (WSC) is that an agreed documented % of

each gas is consumed efficiently during manufacturing and conversely a fixed % of gas

is emitted to atmosphere (Tier 2). Such generic assumptions are being refined across

the industry globally under the remit of the WSC. A new calculation methodology has

been adopted by ESIA which takes into account the efficiency of removal of GWP gases

from point of use (POU) abatement devices deployed between the tool and the large on-

site gas scrubbers. In calculating the Metric Tonnes Carbon Equivalent (MTCE)

emission data, there are also assumptions taken on the global warming potential of each

gas and the fact that some gases such as C2F6 after use can also form other by-

products such as CF4. All this information is managed within the ESIA excel

spreadsheets and is summarized in terms of emissions as MMTCE in the table below.

The Global Warming Potential (GWP100) for each of the Gases is taken from the

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 4th Assessment Report. The

GWP100 values have been presented below for information purposes.

GWP100 Values from 4th IPCC Assessment Report

C2F6 GWP = 12,200 CHF3 GWP = 14,800

SF6 GWP = 22,800 NF3 GWP = 17,200

CF4 GWP = 7,390 C4F8 GWP = 10,300

During 2009 and 2010, Intel Ireland also calculated its emissions using a more precise method

known as "Tier 3". This uses process specific emissions factors for each of the process gases.

This method gives a result which is higher than that calculated by Tier 2. Table 4.4 provides this

data for 2009 while Table 4.5 provides the data for 2010.

* Note: - These calculations do not include losses of HFC refrigerant from the site chillers. The global warming impact of these losses has been estimated at 0.0008 MMTCE. If these losses are included in the "Total PFCs" figure above, then the figure would increase by approximately 2.6%.

For a number of years, Intel Ireland has been pursuing various reduction initiatives such as gas

usage reduction with the introduction of each new process technology, gas substitution, for

example, by the replacement of C2F6, in certain recipes, with alternative gases. During 2009,

Intel Ireland completed its project to replace C2F6 on some tools in IFO with a gas which has a

greater utilization rate. This means that the quantity of gas used and PFC emissions (expressed

as MMTCE) are lowered. The benefits of this process change were carried forward into 2010. In

addition, the reduction in production levels in IFO (the main source of PFC emissions on site)

during 2010 also drove a decrease in PFC emissions for the site. Overall, there were a

reduction of approximately 25% in PFC emissions from the site between 2009 and 2010

irrespective of the calculation methodology used.

63

Finally, it should be noted that emission calculation methodologies may well change in the

coming years as improved calculation systems are formally adopted and verified by analytical

methods across the semiconductor associations such as SIA (Semiconductor Industry

Association of America), ESIA (European Semiconductor Industry Association), KIA (Korean

Semiconductor Industry Association), JIA (Japanese Semiconductor Industry Association), to

accommodate, for example, for the introduction of new gases, or alternate point of use

abatement technologies.

4.9 NOISE MONITORING REPORT

A copy of the 2010 Annual Noise Monitoring Report is included in Appendix H of this Report.

4.10 RESIDUAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

As per Condition 10 of the site's IPPC licence, a Residuals Management Plan (RMP) is

maintained for the Intel Ireland site. The RMP, including a separate Environmental Liabilities

Risk Assessment (ELRA) was updated during 2010 and submitted to the Agency on the 2nd

September 2010. In addition, a Validation Report for the stand-down works at Fab 14 was

submitted to the Agency on the same date. Finally, a Statement of Financial Provisions was

submitted to the Agency on the 5th October 2010.

All these documents are awaiting the approval of the Agency.

Intel Ireland Ltd: Executive Summary, Groundwater 2010

TMS Environment Ltd Ref. 16925-3

1.0 Scope

This report presents the non-technical executive summary of the analytical results

of groundwater samples collected from monitoring boreholes at the Intel Ireland

Ltd. campus at Leixlip, Co. Kildare in February and August 2010. Sampling was

conducted to satisfy biannual groundwater monitoring requirements as specified in

IPPC Licence reference no. P0207-03.

Full copies of both reports are available through TMS Environment Ltd or Intel

Ireland Ltd. (Report Reference: 16244-1 and 16925-1).

2.0 Executive Summary

Biannual groundwater sampling was carried out on 3rd

, 8th, 9

th and 10

th February

and on 9th, 10

th, 11

th, 12

th and 16

th August 2010 to satisfy the IPPC Licence

requirements of Intel Ireland Ltd. Tables A & B below provide a summary of the

results compared to the EPA Interim Guideline Values (IGVs) and the Drinking

Water Limits (S.I. No. 278 of 2007) for those parameters where available. Results

which exceed the EPA IGVs are shown in bold text.

Historically groundwater on site has shown elevated levels of Conductivity,

Chloride, Total Ammonia and Total Nitrogen have been elevated both up-gradient

and down-gradient of the Intel Ireland Site. This immediately suggests an off-site

source for the elevated concentrations observed. Elevated concentrations are not

uniformly elevated in groundwater across the site, suggesting that it is not a diffuse

source up-gradient of the site. Also, concentrations at individual monitoring points

vary with time, suggesting a discontinuous source with pollution of groundwater

occurring at varying rates (e.g. like a leaking sewer).

On comparison of the 2010 results with the EPA‟s IGVs during 2010, some wells

exceeded the IGV for conductivity during the first monitoring event (MW1, MW4,

MW13, MW14, MW15 and MW16) and the second monitoring event (MW1,

MW4, MW13, MW14, MW15, MW16 and MW17). It is likely that the source of

elevated conductivity originates from off-site due to the fact that MW1 and MW13

are control wells (on the site boundary) and MW14, MW15 and MW16 are

downstream of these wells. In addition, there are no Intel operations between the

site boundary and MW14 and MW15. MW4 has shown historically to have a high

conductivity value above the EPA IGV. MW17 is situated close to MW4 down-

gradient of the site. There has been little change in the background levels for these

wells over the past number of sampling events. The fact that Electrical

Conductivity is elevated both up-gradient and down-gradient of the site

immediately suggests an off-site source for the elevated concentrations observed.

EC concentrations are not uniformly elevated in groundwater across the site,

suggesting that it is not a diffuse source up-gradient of the site. Also,



concentrations at individual monitoring points vary with time, suggesting a

discontinuous source with pollution of groundwater occurring at varying rates (e.g.

like a leaking sewer).

The concentration for chloride recorded in a number of wells exceeded the EPA

IGV of 30mg/l in the first biannual monitoring event (MW1, MW2, MW4, MW7,

MW11, MW12, MW13, MW14, MW15, MW16 and MW19) and the second

biannual monitoring event (MW1, MW2, MW4, MW5, MW7, MW8, MW10,

MW11, MW12, MW13, MW14, MW15, MW16, MW17, MW19 and MW20).

Chloride has been historically elevated above the EPA IGV in MW1, MW2,

MW5, MW13, MW14, MW16 and MW19. It can be demonstrated that the source

of elevated chloride is likely to originate from off-site due to the fact that MW1

and MW13 are control wells (on site boundary) and MW14, MW15 and MW16

are downstream of these well. In addition, there are no Intel operations between

the site boundary and MW14 and MW15. Concentrations above the EPA IGV in

MW4, MW5, MW7, MW8, MW10, MW11, MW12, MW17 and MW20 are not

historically as consistently elevated. On examination of the historical chloride

results for all the wells on site, there is a background level of approximately 25-30

mg/l, as would be expected for this area of Ireland. Chloride concentrations are

consistently elevated in monitoring well MW1 up-gradient of the site and MW14

at the eastern perimeter of the site. Sampling of other wells shows occasionally

elevated concentrations above background, however the elevated concentrations

are not sustained.

Total Ammonia was found to exceed the EPA IGV of 0.15 mg/l as NH4 in six well

during the first biannual monitoring event (MW4 (0.298 mg/l as NH4), MW5

(0.171 mg/l as NH4), MW7 (2.13 mg/l as NH4), MW8 (0.235mg/l as NH4), MW14

(0.224 mg/l as NH4), and MW18 (0.151 mg/l as NH4). The presence of Total

Ammonia in groundwater in the up-gradient wells (MW7 & MW8) suggests an

off-site source of organic pollution. The two possible off-site sources up-gradient

of the site are the Local Authority sewer running along the Maynooth - Leixlip

road and agricultural activity up-gradient of the site. Given that the agricultural

land up-gradient of Intel does not appear to be intensively grazed, the likely source

is the Local Authority sewer. MW14 and MW18 are situated to the north and

north-east of MW7 and as the groundwater flow direction is in a north north-

easterly direction it is suggested that the rise in Total Ammonia at these locations is

due to external factors. There were no exceedances to Total Ammonia during the

second biannual monitoring event.

All results reported for the first biannual monitoring event carried out in February

2010 were below the Drinking Water Limits set out in S.I. No. 278 of 2007 with

the exception of Total Ammonia in MW7. A Total Ammonia concentration of 2.13

mg/L NH4 was recorded in this well. The Drinking Water Limit for Total

Ammonia as NH4 is 0.3 mg/l as NH4. The Total Ammonia level in this well had



reduced to below the laboratory detection limit by the next sampling round in

August 2010. All Total Ammonia results for the second biannual monitoring event

in August were below the Drinking Water Limits set out in S.I. No. 278 of 2007.

No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) were detected above the laboratory

detection limit in any groundwater samples tested during 2010.

All remaining parameters analysed were found to be below the EPA IGV and the

Drinking Water regulations during 2010.

An interesting observation on groundwater quality in the August 2010 monitoring

round was that the pH of groundwater was noticeable lower in most wells than in

previous monitoring rounds. Groundwater from most wells showed a reduction in

pH of between 0.2 - 1.0 from the average value observed over the last 9 sampling

rounds. The slightly reduced pH values are still within the typical range

encountered in shallow Irish aquifers (6.5-9.5). There has been no change in

sampling methodology and pH has been measured in the laboratory in all cases.

Since this trend is seen in most wells in August 2010, it was therefore most likely

due to natural variation in background groundwater quality. No further action is

required.

Executive Summary/Certification of Results

Intel (Ireland) Ltd. is required to carry out an assessment on a bi-annual basis, at its site in Leixlip,

Co. Kildare, of the water quality of the River Rye to comply with Schedule C.6.4. (Receiving Water

Monitoring) of its Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Licence, Reg. No. P0207-03. Bord

na Móna Technical Services was contracted to assess the quality of surface waters at a number of

points along the river, including upstream and downstream of the surface water retention outlet (i.e.

discharge point to the river).

The site was visited by Bord na Móna Environmental Scientists on the 18th

of May and the 31st

of August 2010, to conduct the first and second bi-annual assessments, respectively. A total of

five surface water samples were returned to the laboratory for analysis. Results obtained were

compared with the European Communities “Environmental Objectives (Surface Waters)

Regulations, 2009 (S.I. No. 272 of 2009)”, the European Communities “Quality of Surface

Water Intended for the Abstraction of Drinking Water Regulations, 1989 (S.I. No. 294 of 1989)”

and the European Communities “Quality of Salmonid Waters Regulations, 1988 (S.I. No. 293 of

1988)”.

The surface water samples taken from the River Rye, both upstream and downstream of the Intel

facility, are of good quality; and there are no exceedences of the legislative limits for any of the

parameters measured.

There does not appear to be a deterioration of water quality downstream of the Intel (Ireland)

Ltd. site, indicating that the surface water discharges from this site are not resulting in significant

environmental impacts on the receiving waters.

The results of the investigation carried out by Bord na Móna Technical Services are presented in

Tables 1 and 2 below.

Intel Ireland Ltd: Executive Summary, Louisa Spa 2010


1.0 Scope

This report presents the non-technical executive summary of analysis of a sample

collected from the Louisa Spa well at Louisa Bridge, which is east of the Intel

Campus buildings. Sampling was conducted to comply with the annual monitoring

requirements as specified in the sites IPPC Licence Reg. No. P0207-03. A full copy of

the report is available through TMS Environment Ltd or Intel Ireland Ltd. (Report

Reference: 16955).


A sample of water was collected from the Louisa Spa Spring at Louisa Bridge, which

is east of the Intel Campus buildings on 16th

August 2010. Sampling was conducted to

comply with the annual monitoring requirements as specified in the sites IPPC

Licence Reg. No. P0207-03.

The water sample was analysed for the following parameters;

Conductivity (field measurement),

pH,

Temperature (field measurement),

Total Ammonia,

Chloride,

Sulphate,

Nitrate,

Nitrite,

Fluoride,

Calcium,

Magnesium,

Sodium,

Potassium,

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and,

Trace Metals.

Temperature and Conductivity were measured in situ.

The results recorded were compared to the EPA Interim Guideline Values (IGVs) set

in the EPA interim report “Towards Setting Guideline Values for the Protection of

Groundwater in Ireland” and the Irish Drinking Water Limits (S.I. No. 278 of 2007).

The results were found to be within accepted norms with the exception of

Conductivity (1831 µS/cm), Chloride (468 mg/l), Sodium (240 mg/l) and Potassium

(10 mg/l), however these concentrations are similar to the results detected during

previous monitoring events as can be seen from Table 1 below.



It may be noted that the Drinking Water limit values are for comparison purposes, and

the spa water is not used as a drinking water source. There has been no significant

change in the monitored water quality to date.

It is unknown whether these elevated concentrations are related to natural background

levels in the groundwater or are due to pollution from up-gradient sources.

Bund is not currently operating as a bund as it is almost full of gravel and overflowing with water. A petrol interceptor generally does not need to be bunded. They should be checked regularly and kept clean. In this case if the interceptor is not checked regularly and is full then if should be treated as a bund.



Bund & Tank Integrity: Retention in bund (rainwater) which has reduced retention capacity to zero. Full inspection of bund not possible as full of water and leaves (Fig. 8.1). There is pebbles/gravel in this bund (Fig. 8.2).

Bund Drainage System: The bund is full with water and needs to be manually pumped out.

General Observations: No labelling on tank or pipework.


Housekeeping Issues: Ensure that this petrol interceptor is regularly maintained and cleaned or consider

removing the interceptor from this area.

Bund & Tank Integrity: This area on located on the top floor of F10 (see site layout plan) on the scrubber level (Fig. 89.1). The F10 scrubber deck should not be on the bund register, instead the smaller individual bund within the room should be on the register.i.e.

Bund permaclean ® PC-33 and NALCO ® 2584,

55S Dosing bund containing NALCO 2536 plus and

Sodium Hydroxide, 47%.

Bund Drainage System: Remote drainage from room – free draining to AWN

General Observation: There is a lot of evidence of spills in this area are absorbent materials (Fig. 89.4), the procedures for cleaning up these and general maintenance of the floor needs to improve.

Result of Visual Inspection: N/A

Housekeeping Issues: Debris/rubbish should be removed.

Action Required: Refer to bund numbers 109, 110, 111 and 112 for details on individual bunds in room

Bund & Tank Integrity: Bund has grate slab with upstand all around. Bund appears to be generally intact – no visible cracks or leaks internally. However significant mossy growth coverage on base of bund and tree/bush growth (Fig. 30.1-30.5) therefore could not fully inspect. There are a lot of leaves in bund and these are blocking the drains along the drainage channels. There is evidence of water in bund but it was quite a wet weekend and it is assumed that this is rainwater. There is evidence of cracks along the kerbs of this bund.

The transformers (x4) have there own metal bund with this larger bund. Covered in moss and filed with water, this needs to be cleaned and water removed.

Bund Drainage System: Local bund. Bund slopes therefore rainwater collecting at one end of bund.

General observations: Tree and shrub growth in bund needs to be removed.



Bund needs to be cleaned as there is a lot of overgrowth in the bund including leaves. There are absorbent materials and pallets in bund, these should be removed. The slip mats in the bund are in very poor condition and either need to be cleaned or replaced in some areas as they are covered in moss and are extremely slippy.

Action Required:

Water retention from each transformer bund should be emptied.

The bund needs to be regularly monitored and cleaned.

Cracks along kerb need to be inspected and repaired as necessary.

The F24 solvent room is a designated ATEX area. The room its self is classified as Zone 2 but the trenches are classified as Atex Zone 1.

The liquid leak cables located in the trenches are part of the explosion protection plan and are connected to LSS. Loss of the LSS leak detection for a period of time (>24hrs) is a risk and would not be in line with the site explosion protection plan. Working in the trench (an ATEX zone one location) while the pumpers in the room are operational would also result in an increased safety risk faced by the worker.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In September 2010, Super Drain Limited undertook a routine survey of the Process Effluent Line

from the FAB 24 AWN downstream to the EBT. This work was required in order to fulfil EPA

obligations in relation to maintenance of the environmental infrastructure on site.

The survey highlighted the accumulation of scale in the line, causing obstructions in a number of

areas. The survey was more comprehensive than on previous occasions as all inflow was

switched off- allowing a survey from upstream to downstream tank.

PROCESS EFFLUENT DRAIN INTEGRITY TESTING PROGRAMME

1.0 INTRODUCTION

In September 2010, Super Drain Limited was commissioned to survey the F24 process effluent

line. This document reports on the re-survey and associated works

1.1 SCOPE

This report covers the integrity testing and associated works during the re-survey of the process

effluent line from the F24 AWN to the EBT (Appendix 1).

1.2 METHODOLOGY

1.2.1 CCTV Surveying and Cleaning

The method employed the insertion of a wheeled IBAK mainline camera unit, remotely operated

from a dedicated Underground Survey Camera Vehicle. The camera operator entered the

relevant location codes on the CCTV screen and recorded all footage onto Digital Video Disk

(DVD). This disk is subsequently played through the “Wincan 7” registered drain management

package and this generated a report detailing still-frames and exact observations at precise

distances.

There were a number of areas identified that had considerable deposits of scale. These were

Jetted out and removed by means of high pressure jetting. The drain line was re-surveyed to

confirm all corrective actions had been completed satisfactorily.

.0 Scope

AD Analytical were contracted by Intel Ireland to carry out Tank/Sump Integrity testing

at their facility in Leixlip, Co. Kildare. The scope of the survey is limited to the

following:

a. Identification and inspection of the Tanks/Sumps.

b. Test the Tanks/Sumps for „liquid tightness‟ as specified in section nine of B.S. 8007:

1987.

c. Reporting and interpretation of the assessment results.

3.0 Survey Methodology

3.1 Monitoring requirements

As part of the ongoing assessment of the Tanks/Sumps on site a test was performed to

determine the integrity of the Tanks/Sumps listed below:

Tank I.D.

1. Upper FAB 10 Surface Water (SW) Tank

3.2 Assessment Techniques

AD Analytical staff visually inspected the Tanks/Sumps in September 2010.

The Tanks/Sumps were filled with clean water to the fill level, marked and monitored for

a full working day where process operations allowed.

After stabilisation, the level of the liquid surface was recorded by means of a

measurement & photograph at regular intervals for the test period.

The dimensions of this tank are:

Length = 5.75m

Breadth = 5.5m

Width = 2.8m

Fill volume = 40.13m3

3.3 Reporting


A Log for the Tanks/Sumps is reported as follows:

Appendix 1. FAB 10

o Upper FAB 10 Surface Water (SW) Tank.

4.0 Discussion

The criteria used for testing of Tanks, tanks and sumps are as follows:

1. A Tank containing one vessel should have a nominal capacity of 110 % of

the vessel‟s maximum capacity.

2. A Tank containing more than one vessel should have a nominal capacity

of 110% of the largest vessel or 25% of the total capacity of all the

vessels, which ever is the greater.

3. Sumps, built with double skins (i.e. an inner and outer layer) should have

no water in between the two layers.

The Tanks/Sumps, as detailed in previous sections, were allowed stabilise and tested.

During the test period the total permissible dip in level (allowing for evaporation) should

not exceed 1/500th of the average water depth of the full Tank in all cases.

The above indicates, therefore, that the Tanks/Sumps detailed in this report were found

to satisfy a „Test‟ for „Liquid Tightness‟, as described in section nine, B.S. 8007: 1987:

Design of Concrete Structures for the retaining Aqueous Liquids.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

It is a requirement of the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Licence, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and held by Intel Ireland that environmental noise levels in the vicinity of the site are monitored on an annual basis. Condition 5 of the Licence sets out the following requirements in relation to noise:

Condition 5: 5.1 No specified emission from the installation shall exceed the emission

limit values set out in Schedule B: Emission Limits of this licence. There shall be no other emissions of environmental significance.

Schedule B4 pertains to noise and specifies the following limits: B.4. Noise Emissions

Daytime dB(A) LAeq (15 minutes) Night-time dB(A) LAeq (15 minutes)

55Note 1

45Note 1

Note 1: There shall be no clearly audible tonal or impulsive component in the noise emission from the site at any noise sensitive location

Paragraph 4.5 of the Interpretation section of the licence also applies to noise:

4.5 Noise from the installation shall not give rise to sound pressure levels (Leq,T) measured at any noise-sensitive location that exceed the specified limit values by more than 2dB(A).

Daytime is taken as 08:00 to 22:00hrs and night-time 22:00 to 08:00hrs as stated in the EPA publication Guidance Note For Noise In Relation To Scheduled Activities, Second Edition (2006). AWN Consulting has been commissioned to conduct a noise survey in accordance with the EPA‟s requirements in order to establish whether the facility is operating in compliance with the criteria outlined above.

2.0 SURVEY DETAILS AND MEASURED NOISE LEVELS A series of environmental noise surveys were conducted in order to quantify the existing noise environment. The surveys were conducted generally in accordance with ISO 1996: 2007: Acoustics – Description, measurement and assessment of environmental noise. Specific details are set out below.

2.1 Measurement Locations Noise measurements were also conducted at seven positions on the site boundary and at noise-sensitive locations. These positions are the monitoring locations stipulated in the current IPPC Licence for the site. These locations are described below and shown on Figure 1. NM01 Near the mechanical „Middle Gate‟ on the eastern boundary of the site

in line with the north façade of IR3. NM02 On the Confey Road to the north of the site, at the entrance to the Intel

soccer grounds. NM03 At Riverview House. Please note that the noise monitoring position for

the 2009 and 2010 surveys have changed slightly when compared to the location adopted for previous years. For the purposes of the annual IPPC assessment the attended noise monitoring position was moved away from the continuous noise monitor location (which is located in a field approximately 40 metres to the east of the house) and positioned adjacent to the façade of the Riverview property itself. This was done as it was noted by survey personnel that water flow noise from the river, as well as wind generated noise on nearby foliage and road traffic from the M4 motorway, were audible to a greater extent at the continuous monitor location than at the location of the house itself. This gives a more realistic indication as to Intel plant noise emissions at the façade of the house, as opposed to at the location of the continuous noise monitor.

NM04 On the Confey Road to the north of the site, adjacent to the B&B. NM05 At the north-eastern corner of the car-park to the east of Fab24. NM06 At the south-eastern corner of the car-park to the east of Fab24. NM07 At noise-sensitive locations beyond the southern boundary of the site.

2.2 Survey Periods Measurements were conducted over the course of the following survey periods:

Night-time NM01 to NM04: 23:03hrs on 26 May to 02:49hrs 27 May 2010;

Night-time NM05 to NM07: 22:04hrs on 26 May to 01:29hrs 27 May 2010;

Daytime NM01 to NM07: 09:42hrs to 17:13hrs on 26 May 2010.


___________________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 6

During all of the survey periods noted above, it is understood that the facility was in normal operation. The weather during daytime survey periods was dry and calm, temperatures were in the range 14 to 18 degrees Celsius, wind speeds were in the range 1 to 4 m/s. The weather during night-time survey periods was dry and calm, temperatures were in the range 5 to 8 degrees Celsius, wind speeds were in the range 1 to 2 m/s.

2.3 Personnel and Instrumentation James Mangan and Louis Smith (AWN) conducted the noise level measurements during all survey periods. The measurements were performed using Brüel & Kjær Type 2260 Modular Precision Sound Analysers. Before and after the survey the measurement apparatus was check calibrated using a Brüel & Kjær Type 4231 Sound Level Calibrator.

2.4 Procedure During each of the day-time and night-time periods, measurements were conducted on a cyclical basis. Sample periods were 15 minutes during both the daytime and night-time surveys. The results were saved to the instrument memory for later analysis where appropriate. Survey personnel noted all primary noise sources contributing to noise build-up.

2.5 Measurement Parameters The boundary survey results are presented in terms of the following five parameters:

LAeq is the equivalent continuous sound level. It is a type of average and is used

to describe a fluctuating noise in terms of a single noise level over the sample period.

LAmax is the instantaneous maximum sound level measured during the sample

period. LAmin is the instantaneous minimum sound level measured during the sample

period.

LA10 is the sound level that is exceeded for 10% of the sample period. It is typically used as a descriptor for traffic noise.

LA90 is the sound level that is exceeded for 90% of the sample period. It is

typically used as a descriptor for background noise.

The “A” suffix denotes the fact that the sound levels have been “A-weighted” in order to account for the non-linear nature of human hearing. All sound levels in this report are expressed in terms of decibels (dB) relative to 2x10-5 Pa.

Table 1 Noise Level Measurements at Location NM01

During the daytime survey periods, distant road traffic movement on the R148 and Kellystown Lane along with occasional aircraft movements were noted as the primary contributors to the noise build-up. Occasional vehicle movements within the site were also audible as was distant plant noise from the Intel site and wind noise on nearby foliage. Noise levels were in the range 50 to 54dB LAeq and 38 to 42dB LA90. During the night-time survey periods, audible noise sources included distant traffic on surrounding roads and distant plant noise from the Intel site. Noise levels were in the range 37 to 40dB LAeq and of the order of 31dB LA90. During all measurement periods local road traffic movements along Kellystown Lane were paused out as far as possible in order to prevent this source from dominating the measured noise levels.

movements, distant aircraft movements and wind noise on nearby foliage were also noted. Plant noise from the Intel site was barely audible at this location. Noise levels were in the range 44 to 45dB LAeq and 37 to 40dB LA90. During the night-time survey periods, occasional road traffic movements on the R148 and broadband plant noise from the rear of the site were noted as being the primary contributors to the noise build-up. An idling train was the dominant contributory noise source during the first night-time measurement period. Noise levels were in the range 41 to 46dB LAeq and 33 to 38dB LA90.

During the daytime survey periods, birds nesting in nearby trees were the dominant source of noise. Other audible sources included traffic on surrounding roads and occasional train movements. A distant lawnmower was noted during the first measurement period. Plant noise from the Intel site was not audible during the daytime measurement periods. Noise levels were in the range 54 to 55dB LAeq and 49 to 51dB LA90. Distant traffic movements were noted to be the dominant noise source during the night-time periods. Plant noise from the Intel site was not audible during the night-time measurement periods. Noise levels were in the range 37 to 44dB LAeq and 33 to 38dB LA90.

2.6.8 Comment on Measured Noise Levels

The LAeq values are a type of average of the noise level during the measurement period. As it is a logarithmic average, it is especially sensitive to relatively loud noises of short duration. For example, a single passage of a vehicle can govern the LAeq value of a measurement over a period much longer than the time for which the vehicle was audible. Thus, where the noise emissions from the Intel site are steady, as plant items are in continuous operation, the LA90 value better reflects the magnitude of these emissions.

Table 8 Measured LAeq levels for day and night-time periods compared to IPPC License criteria. * An idling train was the dominant contributory noise source during this night-time measurement period.

The measured LAeq levels are within the daytime limit value at all locations. However in many instances the LAeq values are governed by source not related to the site such as traffic on public roads, aircraft movements, train movements and birdsong. During the 2009 and 2010 IPPC surveys the measurements were paused as much as possible during local traffic movements and other individual events not associated with the Intel site. This explains the decrease in the reported levels at some locations when compared to surveys conducted in previous years. Due to the nature of the operations carried out at Intel, external noise sources run steadily over 24 hours. For this reason, it is more appropriate to compare the measured LA90 values against the limit values in the IPPC Licence. This is presented in the Table 9 below.

Table 9 Measured LA90 levels for day and night-time periods compared to IPPC License criteria It is therefore concluded that site noise emissions from Intel comply with the relevant limit values at all surveyed locations. It is also noted that measured plant noise levels are generally slightly lower than those monitored during the 2009 IPPC noise survey. It is feasible that the reduced noise levels are a result of the decommissioning of various plant items within the FAB 14 building.

An additional review of one-third octave band Leq noise levels has been conducted. One-third octave band measurement results are included in Appendix A. Review of this data has concluded that there is no tonal component to any of the noise levels measured during the 2010 survey.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS Noise levels have been measured at the locations stipulated in the relevant IPPC Licence. Audible noise sources include traffic on surrounding roads, the passage of trains, aircraft movements, birdsong, wind noise on nearby foliage and steady external plant noise from the Intel site. Due to the continuous nature of these external plant noise sources, it is appropriate to compare the measured LA90 which represents the steady background component of the environmental noise climate at each location. At all locations, the LA90 values are within the given limit values, for both day and night-time periods. In addition, review of one-third octave band data confirms that there is no tonal component to measured noise levels. It may therefore be concluded that this facility is in compliance with Condition 5 of the IPPC Licence in respect of noise.
