LAFARGE TARMAC CEMENT AND LIMEUPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT 2013
SOLUTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Lafarge Tarmac is the UK’s leading sustainable building materials and construction solutions business. It operates independently, but is owned by Lafarge SA and Anglo American, who are equal shareholders. This statement is an update to the full-verified statement issued in 2012, and the interim statement of 2013. This report focuses on the performance of the cement and lime operations.
The scope of the report and EMAS registration is limited to the following:
Aberthaw Cement PlantCauldon Cement PlantCookstown Cement PlantDunbar Cement PlantBarnstone DepotBelfast DepotWest Thurrock DepotCarlisle DepotManchester DepotVectis Depot
Included within the report are the cement and lime operations for Tunstead, Ballidon and Hindlow, including the depots at Leeds and Willesden. However these are not - at the time of writing - certified under the same EMS and certification body and, therefore, they have not been verified.
In 2013, Lafarge Tarmac’s UK cement and lime operations performed very well against our stated objectives and core performance indicators with the majority meeting or exceeding the stated target.
EMAS, the environmental management system implemented in Lafarge Tarmac Cement and Lime for 2013 has been verified.

CEMENT AND LIME UPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 2013
In 2013, the Aberthaw plant received permission from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) to permanently use whole tyres as a waste derived fuel.
This follows an extensive evaluation period started in July 2012, which involved optimisation of the new fuel and comprehensive emissions testing. The plant submitted the results of the evaluation to NRW in April 2013. The results concluded that the use of the tyres as a fuel did not impact the environmental performance of the plant.
Work has now moved on to the evaluation of the other new waste derived fuel at the plant - Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), which was approved at the same time as tyres in August 2011. A new storage and handling facility has been constructed on site and evaluation of the new fuel commenced in mid-May 2013.
Plant Manager, Raul Morales commented: “Permission to allow the permanent use of the tyres as a fuel and the start of the SRF evaluation is great news for the Aberthaw plant. It shows our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and managing our costs, whilst at the same time providing a solution for two waste streams. By maximising the benefits these fuels bring, we can help make Aberthaw plant more competitive in difficult economic times”.
Solid Recovered Fuel or SRF is processed from non-recyclable wastes generated from homes, businesses and other sources.
End-of-life tyres are scrap car and van tyres: over 50 million of these are generated in the UK each year presenting a significant waste disposal problem. We can help address this problem by using the tyres as a very compatible, high energy fuel in cement-making.
Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) and tyres are used as a partial replacement for more traditional fossil fuels in the energy-intensive cement-making process.

The reed bed system at Cauldon Works is vital for maintaining the quality of the water discharged into the River Hamps.
The reed beds were constructed by ARM Ltd in 1992; they are a natural biological water filter comprising three individual beds, a pond and an aeration form. The purpose of the reed bed area is to treat the water which has been potentially contaminated with ammonia that has historically leached out of a former landfill area, containing process waste from a pre 1985 cement making process (Since that date no further waste has been land filled in this area).
The concentration of ammonia varies with the rainfall flow rate, during low rainfall and low discharge rates the concentration may be as high as 70 parts per million (ppm), during high rainfall and high discharge rates the concentration will be well below the limit for flow into a water course or river. The whole
In 2013 the reed beds have been re-engineered. The water intake reed bed has been fully modernised to ensure the reeds flourish.
purpose of this system is to ensure that water treated by the reed beds, and ultimately discharged into the River Hamps has a resultant ammonia level continually in lower single figures regardless of the rainfall rates.
In 1992 the reed beds were designed to operate in series, in a vertical down flow mode. The beds were refurbished and re-engineered in 2008 and 2013; ensuring optimum filtering performance is maintained. The beds are one metre deep, made up of five or six successive layers of stone reducing in size as they are built up, the top layer, which is 150mm deep, is fine graded sand or soil which sits immediately above a layer of coarse grit. Natural bacteria lives within the stone layers and on the roots of the reeds, the bacteria digest the ammonia nitrifying it; the reeds then live off the resultant food source. The potentially contaminated water is fed to the beds via a piped distribution system which is
Reed beds re-engineered at Cauldon
designed to provide an even flow across the beds
In 2013 the reed beds were re-engineered, the water intake reed bed has been fully modernised, and will now operate as a surface flow bed topped with soil to provide an area for the naturally occurring ochre (iron rich orange coloured silt) present in the water (naturally occurring in the shale fields through which the water is running) to settle out, this should ensure the reeds flourish.
The other two reed beds will continue to function as vertical flow reed beds with an improved pipe layout and topped with fine graded sand.
All reed beds now have level control chambers to facilitate optimum water levels and weed control. All reed beds were re-planted with Phragmites australis (Common reed) seedlings.
Two new signs have been displayed alongside the footpath, one with general information about the reed beds and the other to provide some fun for children whilst out walking.

support so the site engaged with CES Environmental Instruments and manufacturer Durag, who had developed a new monitor that in principle was ideal to the Cookstown installation, but as yet hadn’t gone into production.
In June 2013 the works, in partnership with CES and Durag piloted a trial of the new D-R320 monitor as part of the ongoing research and development program. This trial was a complete success delivering 100% instrument availability over a 7 month period and a major step forward in respect to minimal maintenance needs, in addition to meeting the existing and future detection limit requirements.
The equipment achieved TUV (Worldwide and European product certification) approval in December 2013 and started full production in Germany at the same time, undergoing MCERT approval (Environment Agency’s Monitoring Certification Scheme) in the UK, at the time of writing the site have purchased two units, which are in the process of being installed, finally providing site with the most-up-to-date particulate measurement technology.
In accordance with Environmental legislation from the European Union, supported by CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) standards and driven by reduced particulate emissions across the UK sites, Lafarge Tarmac, as part of good practice and best available technique (BAT), have continually looked to install, maintain and operate the most up-to-date and sensitive particulate monitors.
The Cookstown plant has presented a number of challenges to the particulate (dust) monitoring improvement program, due to the kiln stack monitoring point, the stack at the monitor location is 5 metres in diameter, with a wall thickness of 0.5 metres and internal stack temperature below 100oC, these parameters meant that less than 10% of the certified particulate equipment/technologies were suitable for the Cookstown kiln.
In striving for continuous improvement over the last 10 years the site personnel have worked extremely hard and very closely with two different manufacturers, utilising four different monitors, in an attempt to find a monitor that not only met current requirements, but also would be suitable for lower more sensitive measurement requirements in the future.
Unfortunately none of the equipment or manufacturers could provide the site with a fully acceptable solution in respect to accuracy, reliability or

with over 500 visitors, exceeding the expectations of the plant. The event was well received and helped by the good weather on the day.
It was a great opportunity for the plant to further engage with and welcome their local community and stakeholders to the plant and for them to have a look around and see how it all works. The site provided guided tours, on a route carefully planned with safety in mind.
During the event there were dumper truck rides at the quarry, opportunity for visitors to make hand models in quick setting cement, a history area with pictures and a through the years board. We had a pod (audio visual simulator) where a quarry blast was simulated inside, there were trucks and lorries to see, and we had an information area where we talked to people about our process of manufacture, our fuels used and in particular our waste derived fuels and the benefits of those.
We also explained our environmental monitoring via Continuous Emission Monitors and extractive sampling as well as our regulation by SEPA and utilised the opportunity to make contact with the public giving out contact details and explained that we would welcome any feedback or observations from anyone at any time. The plant ensured refreshments were available in the
In 2013 Dunbar cement plant celebrated its fiftieth year of clinker production.
The plant wanted to involve the local community in the plant celebrations and so several events were organised.
An evening dance was organised where both current and previous employees were invited along with our stakeholders to a night of celebration which was enjoyed by all.
The Dunbar plant supports local community projects every year. To celebrate the plant’s 50th anniversary they offered five community awards of £1,000 to fund projects that would benefit the local area or the people living and working in it. Here are some of the deserving recipients:
Dunbar Primary SchoolThe school is working on a year-long ‘Dunbar Counts’ initiative to increase numeracy skills in their pupils. Their award will be spent setting up maths games in the playgrounds at John Muir and Lochend campuses for a fun and interactive way for the children to learn.
Ashfield Residents and Tenants Association (ARTA) ARTA has been fundraising to build a new play park in Lochend Road which will benefit the growing children, population in the area and also serve as a new green space for the whole of Dunbar.
The Ridge The Ridge is a new community organisation working to create training and development opportunities in the Dunbar area. It is currently establishing a garden on a three acre site at Belhaven Hospital.
The biggest event of the anniversary celebrations was an Open Day held on 28 September 2013.
The event was very well attended

canteen as well as a barbeque in front of reception where the public could sit enjoying their food and the surroundings (see above).
On the Friday night before there was an exclusive VIP visit to the open day for the local stakeholders, neighbouring businesses, councillors and MPs as well as the plants liaison committee. This was well received and an opportunity to introduce the new plant manager, Florin Stoiean and new environment coordinator, Gale Coates.
One of the open day attractions was the North West Quarry which is no longer operational and is now undergoing restoration and rehabilitation as a lake (see picture on next page). The plant is working in partnership with the RSPB on a study of the area to create a habitat for flora and fauna to maximise the area for not only the wildlife using it but the community viewing such a beautiful area and the wildlife using it.
Dunbar cement plant is committed to enhancing and extending our community engagement with particular relevance to the environment via education and integration projects.

Tree locationAt the back of the bauxite area on the new bund the site has planted a new orchard (plan shown opposite). The trees are typically old English varieties, and also include species much loved from the Victorian era.
The orchard has been arranged into five rows of three trees, as the area in front of the orchard will become a lorry hard standing. The apple varieties planted include Discovery, Fiesta, Spartan, Cox’s Orange Pippin (two varieties), Egremont Russet, James Grieve, Lord Lambourne, Concord (Pear), Bramley (two varieties), Howgate Wonder, Grenadier and Blenheim Orange.
After tree plantingThe area has been strung with hay to encourage low level vegetation to grow increasing soil richness and self-pollination with native grasses. In 2013 the ground was allowed to settle and establish, in 2014 and again in 2015 wild native flower and grass seed will be planted in the early spring. This will allow the area to attract natural wildlife including insects and birds. The site has already attracted butterflies and bees to the area which has helped the pollination of the trees in the orchard.
At Barnstone depot, there was an area at the rear of the site which was previously used for storage of products, consumables and scrap.
This area (shown below) had built up over many years and to onlookers it looked neglected - so much so the area was subject to a non-conformance report from our internal standards team.
The planSite arranged for this area to be tidied up and rather than putting all of the waste material into a skip it was decided to use some of the material in the area for a positive impact on the environment. Site applied for a waste exemption permit from the Environment Agency. This permit allowed the site to recycle re-graded top soils and some bricks to produce a bund.
All of the scrap and pallets were removed and the whole area was cleared of undesired materials. The site invested in a new hard surface for the area and this has also had a positive impact on the safety of site removing potholes, etc, Lorries can now be parked in this area rather on the front where pedestrians and public can access.
The site has already attracted butterflies and bees to the area which has helped the pollination of the trees in the orchard.
Housekeeping improvements at Barnstone
Other areas of ImprovementThe site has also been removing old redundant buildings and improving the visual impact of the works. Some of the works involved removing old buildings from the front of the plant such as the old drilling shed and laboratories and building new footpaths to reduce the risk to local stakeholders who use the bridleway in front of the plant. New evergreen hedgerows have also been planted in this area to soften the initial visual impact of the plant from the bridleway.

Celebrating the “peppercorn rent” transfer are (L-R) Mark Evenden (Lafarge Tarmac Cement and Lime, Supply Planning Manager), Rod Whitehead (Chair of Langar Cum Barnstone Council), Claire Pegg (Clerk to the Council) and Chris Stephens (Lafarge Tarmac, Plant Manager, Barnstone).
A village hall could be built in Barnstone village after the Lafarge Tarmac depot donated land.
Langer cum Barnstone Parish Council has been given a site opposite the plant’s main offices, which it hopes to use to build a new hall for the community.
Council chairman, Mr Rod Whitehead said: “Lafarge Tarmac is a continuing success story in our villages and the council is delighted to be working closely with the Lafarge Tarmac team for the benefit of the villages, the company and the wider community.”

In 2013 Lafarge Tarmac extended its current environmental management system (EMS) to meet the requirements of BS EN ISO 50001 - Energy management systems.
Part of the EMS had already identified energy as a significant aspect and as such energy was a controlled activity. However by extending the scope of the EMS to include energy planning, base line performance and by aligning our future targets to our commitments for CO2 golden rules for power and heat consumption, we were able to demonstrate compliance to the requirements of the standard, certificate of approval to BS EN ISO 50001 was approved on the 29 November 2013.
CEMENT AND LIME UPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 2013 11
Lafarge Tarmac certified to BS EN ISO 50001Certification to the standard covers the Aberthaw, Cauldon, Cookstown, Dunbar and Barnstone locations under the Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) certified EMS. Our objective is to extend the certification to the other Cement and Lime operations over the next two years.
In achieving certification to BS EN ISO 50001 Lafarge Tarmac Cement and Lime was one of the first UK mineral sector company to have its management system certified to this internationally recognised system.
of air (mg/Nm3). If we exceed the stated value and associated rules we must report this to our regulator, even if is only over by 1 milligram.
In 2006 our cement plants showed circa 512 instances where the prescribed emission limits had been exceeded. All of these were minor in nature and lead to no formal action by our regulators.
However this level of performance was seen by the internal management as being unacceptable. As part of the program to change this performance we introduced plant manager contracts which were directly linked to their salary review.
Compliance with our legal and other requirements is very important to Lafarge Tarmac Cement and Lime Ltd.
All our operations are required to have an appropriate permit to allow them to operate. Depending upon the risk and complexity posed these permits can be a Part A or Part B. Part A permits are for the higher risk operations and so cover our cement manufacturing plants whereas our storage, grinding and blending operations are deemed part B.
Part A operations are all required to operate under environmental permits which places many conditions upon them including the emissions that are emitted (emissions to air, land and water) associated limits and the method of quantification.
Measurements are made in two ways; by continuous emission measurement (CEM) or by extractive sampling; this is defined within our permit and regulations from the EU. Lafarge Tarmac is required to measure the following components continuously; dust (known as particulates), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Hydrogen Chloride (HCl), Total Organic Carbon (TOC). These measurements are made by sophisticated monitoring equipment which must be suitable and certified for use in our process and maintained in line with EU standards to EN 14181.
The monitors continuously send signals to our operations rooms where the control system scans the signals every half a second, these signals are then collected and standardised in line with international method to what is known as reference conditions. The data is made up into 30 minute averages which are then averaged into a 24-hour (daily) average, which is then compared to the permitted value prescribed in the permit, which are referenced in milligrams per normalised cubic meter

CEMENT AND LIME UPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT 2013 14
Within Lafarge Tarmac Cement and Lime all communications of concern received by the plant are classified as a complaint regardless of whether they are associated with the plant or not. Also any incident which gives rise to more than one complaint, each individual complaint is recorded. The rise in communication in 2013 can be attributed to:
Aberthaw A single incident of a minor fugitive dust emission gave rise to a high proportion of complaints. The emission source was identified and procedures put in place to minimize reoccurrence and capital applied for to improve abatement on the material store.
Cauldon Predominately communication regarding noise issues. The source was identified and measures being implemented.
DunbarIncreased visibility of the kiln plume following the installation of the flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) plant has caused concern locally. The plant has responded with a programme of education.
No regulatory action followed any of the communications received and the majority of communications were received and handled directly by the sites.
Relations and community engagementDuring 2013 a review of stakeholder engagement and communication has been undertaken. Several high profile visits were carried out within Lafarge Tarmac to help ensure a consistent approach and understanding of the new business and brand across the Cement and Lime business.
This was also supported with a review of local needs and as a result, micro-sites for the key cement operations are to be established in 2014 along with a local pilot social media project.
