Arran Chemical Co Ltd was granted an Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) licence from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in December 1996. One of the conditions of the licence requires us to submit an Annual Environmental Report (AER) to the EPA. The fourteenth AER was filed at the end of March 2011. All reports provided by Arran to the EPA are available for inspection by any member of the public at EPA, Office of Environmental Enforcement, Castlebar, Co. Mayo during normal office hours. Copies of AERs may also be viewed at Arran by appointment. The AER is divided into 4 sections:

1. Introduction
This section provides an overview of the company's activities, environmental policy and related matters.

2. Summary Information
Summary of monitoring and control data including emissions to sewer, surface water monitoring, emissions to atmosphere, waste disposal and energy and water usage are included in this section.

3. Management
Arran has established a schedule of Objectives and Targets, which is reviewed annually. Besides individual aspects of the Environmental Management Programme (EMP) which focus particularly on reducing one or other particular unit process emissions, the programme also includes features designed to improve overall environmental management and control.

4. Licence Specific Reports
Toxicity testing of aqueous effluent, groundwater monitoring data and other specific or occasional reports are summarized in this section.
