Measure / Area |
Description |
Actions to Date 1st August 2005 |
|
Site - General Housekeeping |
Prevent spillages, clean up spillages
rapidly. Employ mechanical cleaning of contaminated yard areas on
regular basis |
A mechanical road sweeper has been
hired for 12 months to clean yard areas |
|
Offal, Heads & Feet, Feathers
Processing & Disposal |
Investigate means to contain gantry
processes and to cover trailers whilst being filled with by-products.
Use sealed trailer bodies with single dedicated drain points for
water/fluids direct into foul site drainage. Prevent spillages onto
yard surfaces or rapid cleanup. Investigate feasibility of
pre-processing of by-products and containment in sealed units |
Bi products are now stored in open
trailers. Investigations are under way regarding costs and feasibility
to supply sealed units, also of turning bi products into animal feeds on
site to reduce storage times This could be a long term issue. In the
mean time making efforts to remove all trailers from site on Friday
night to improve situation over weekends and general making efforts to
remove trailers more often during the week |
|
Trailer Management |
Optimise efficient use and turnaround
of by-product trailers and minimise waiting times, particularly during
summer months |
As above, generally making efforts to
remove trailers more often during the week and ensuring no trailers are
left there over the weekend |

Blood Tank Scrubber |
Investigate alternative/improved
abatement of odours from blood tank filling and expelled air from
tankers |
Investigations are under way into
improvements in this area ie.
sealed
tankers |
|
Sludge Loading Odour Control |
Investigate feasibility of providing
odour control unit for air expelled during tanker loading of wastewater
treatment plant sludge. Perhaps combine with blood tank scrubber |
The purchase of a sealed tank is
proposed at a cost in the region of £30,000 |
|
Wastewater Treatment Plant Odour
Control |
Investigate feasibility of providing
additional containment, extraction and possible odour control for
elements of the wastewater treatment plant area |
Again wastewater is at present
contained in open tanks and investigations are to be made into covering
them |
