By 5pm 15 March 2024, the Licensee must take all necessary steps to ensure that: a) The wastewater treatment system at the Premises (including all associated plant and equipment and the wastewater ponds) is operated in a proper and efficient manner, and maintained in a proper and efficient condition, and that odours generated by the wastewater treatment system are minimised. b) Ponds 5, 5a, and 6 are aerobic and will remain aerobic, to minimise odours. c) Ponds 2 and 3 are each restored to full operational capacity (being a minimum of 80% of their design capacity) through sludge removal with the crust remaining intact and remain at full operational capacity to minimise odour. d) CAL 1 and CAL 2 are each restored to full operational capacity (being a minimum of 80% of their design capacity) and remain at full operational capacity. e) There is a monitoring regime in place that includes biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) / chemical oxygen demand (COD) and oil and grease – at the outlets of the factory wastewater mixing tank, CAL 1, CAL 2, Pond 2, Pond 3, Pond 5, Pond 5a and Pond 6 – at a frequency of minimum twice weekly. All samples must be analysed by a laboratory accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) for those analytes.
Commencing 5pm on the 29 December 2023, until completion of conditions U2.1(a-e), provide to the EPA by 5pm on Friday of each week a progress summary on conditions U2.1(a-e), and actions in place to minimise odour.
By 5pm 30 March 2024, provide evidence (in the form of a report prepared by a suitably qualified and independent consultant) that conditions U2.1(a-e), have been complied with. The report must: a) present and use data derived from monitoring required at condition U2.1(e) of this notice; and b) present data demonstrating that a minimum of 80% of the design capacity of Pond 2, Pond 3, CAL 1 and CAL 2 has been achieved.
