1 Interim Environmental Report Period Ending: 28th May 28 Compiled By: Siobhan Quinn & Thomas McGlynn Approved By: Tony Doyle 1 Monitoring Data 1.1 Monitoring Equipment Axonics Axonics plant operated as required for the majority of the reporting period. PO 4 The PO 4 analyser was operational for the majority of the reporting period. The composite sampler is in place to cover any shortfalls in the PO 4 analyser. Due to little or no flow, the pump feeding this equipment was turned off on the 2 th of May. TSS The TSS analyser was operational during the reporting period. The composite sampler is in place to cover any shortfalls in the TSS analyser. Composite The composite sampler was operational during the reporting period. Due to little or no flow, the pump feeding this equipment was turned off on the 2 th of May Noise There is a single noise monitoring location currently being used N1. The other location is visible from off-site and because of current protestor action it cannot be guaranteed that the equipment remains undisturbed. Vibration There is a single vibration monitoring location currently being used V1. The other location is visible from off-site and because of current protestor action it cannot be guaranteed that the equipment remains undisturbed. Sondes The results are displayed graphically. o Any unusual values are explained on the relevant graph. o D62 was pulled on the 23rd of May due to no flow at the location. o SP1 was pulled for periods during the reporting period due to no flow in the location. (Please see graph) Weather Station The data used for this reporting period was taken from the on-site meteorological station. Weirs Data displayed in the enclosed report. 1.2 Rainfall Data 15/5/8.2 22/5/ /5/8. 23/5/ /5/8. 24/5/8. 18/5/8. 25/5/8. 19/5/8.8 26/5/8. 2/5/8. 27/5/8. 21/5/ /5/8. Total Rainfall 13.1mm

The groundwater data (Sonde) is within anticipated ranges. Awaiting issue of dust results. There was a total of 13.1mm of rainfall during the reporting period, with a temperature range of 5.ºC to 2.9ºC No noise exceedance was recorded during the reporting period, based on the available results. No vibration exceedances were recorded during the reporting period, based on the available results Note: All laboratory data generated on site should be considered indicative only. 2 Environmental Exceedences / Incidents / Complaints There was no exceedance during the reporting period.
