Purpose of this assessment To effectively assess the environmental aspects and resultant environmental impacts from
Hoddesdon site's operations that impact upon the Environmental Management System
This document supports; Hoddesdon Environmental Management System Section 6.1.2
Environmental Aspects.

Definitions Environmental Aspect

The outputs and inputs both intended and unintended that are associated with the site
operations current and relevant recent activities, products and services; planned or new
developments; and new or modified activities, products and services. Normal and abnormal
operating conditions, start up and shut down procedures and foreseeable accidents should be
considered

Environmental Impact
Changes to the environment whether beneficial or non-beneficial, that result wholly or partially
from environmental aspects

It can be thought of as;

Environmental Aspect : Environmental Impact
Cause : Effect

Environmental Aspects Prioritisation Methodology

Reference Number
A unique code for identification of aspect.

Activity
The process being considered

Condition: This describes the operating conditions under which the related environmental aspect will generally occur.
N= Normal operating conditions
A= Abnormal operating conditions
E = Emergency

Environmental Aspect
An element of the organisations activities that is likely to interact with the environment;

Air
Water
Land
Resources (Energy & Materials)
Waste
Nuisance
Ecosystem (Flora & Fauna)

Environmental Impact
A change to the environment as a consequence of the aspect, which includes the following types of impacts ;
Air pollution
Water pollution
Land contamination
Resources usage
Waste production and disposal
Nuisance to neighbours
Ecosystem damage

Past, Current, Future

This ientifies whether the environmental impact is historic, created by current operations or a potential future liability

Significance (Significance rating of the event):

This scores the environmental impact according to the severity of its effect on the environment.and the potential for the event to occur. Possible to get a negative score if there is
positive environmental impact from the activity

Modern energy efficient equipment sourced for use on site

Shutdown of laboratories carried out to reduce emissions out of hours
Staff awareness to switch of lights and turn off equipment when not in use
Extract set back out side of working hours to reduce energy consumption

Energy usage of the facility is not significant in industrial terms, although several energy saving features are part of the design. The
mechanical building services are computer controlled in order to help minimise energy usage. High efficiency motors and lighting
have been installed wherever possible.
The site is not a large user of energy when compared with large scale industrial installations. Site energy consumption will vary
during a 24-hour period and between the working week and weekend. The site has continued to operate an intensive energy
efficiency program over a number of years; this incorporated a wide range of energy reduction initiatives.
Such initiatives include:-
• The control of equipment to reduce energy usage by means of timers and switching off plant and equipment when not required
• Hot Water and Steam systems are lagged; Steam traps are maintained regularly to ensure they operate efficiently.
Resource Good energy management techniques employed to
• The mechanical building services comprising of HVAC and mechanical systems, utility monitoring and energy management are

• A program to replace inefficient lighting with LED lighting is ongoing; all refurbishment of work space must incorporate LED
6.1. Electricity usage lighting. External lighting is controlled by photocells to ensure that they only operate when ambient lighting levels are low
• As and when motors fail they will be replaces by high efficiency motors. A program has been implemented to where possible
control large motors by variable frequency drives, this ensures that they operate efficiently
The site has had several energy studies carried out both internally and with the assistance of external consultants. This has enabled
the site to produce a site energy project portfolio, to support future energy reduction projects
In terms of equipment maintenance, the site operates a comprehensive maintenance and housekeeping regime, this ensures the
site continues to operate efficiently in terms of energy consumption
Should there be a requirement to replace any Plant or Equipment, the site operates a strict Change Control Process. This requires
the person responsible for the change to ensure that energy efficiency is considered in the selection of the Plant or Equipment.
Where possible BAT should be considered, this would cover the way in which the Plant & Equipment is selected, installed and
operated.

Planning permission for the site has the following condition;

No new plant or machinery shall be installed or used at the site until an assessment in accordance with BS 4142:1997 has been
made of its likely impact on the local noise environment. Where appropriate, the plant and machinery shall be treated with noise

A background noise levels survey has been carried out at 1m from the boundary fence;
Ambient noise in the area is primarily comprised of distant road traffic noise from the A 10 and local traffic and aircraft noise, both
during the day and at night. During the measurement period, there were no audible activities from the site. On the eastern side of
the site, the LA9o daytime levels were found to be of the order of 50 dB and the night time LA9o,1smin levels were found to be 44
dB. Towards the western side of the site, the LA90 daytime level was found to be of the order of 55 dB and the night time
LAoo,1smin levels were 40dB

Regular noise surveys are carried out by Facilities Management and additional measurements are undertaken during a change to
infrastructure and large scale projects such as building refurbishment.

Current 8 2 16 The site has previously carried out noise assessments to confirm that that the operational buildings, plant and equipment within the 8 1 8
site does not exceed a level of 55dB (day time) and 50dB (night time) at the site boundary as agreed with the Local Authority

To ensure that the site continues to adhere to the agreed operational noise levels, it operates a robust Planned Preventative
Maintenance Program (PPM). This ensures that all plant and equipment identified as having the potential to cause ‘noise creep’ is
regularly maintained. This level of maintenance will also apply to all existing noise attenuation equipment to ensure that it is fully
functional at all times. To supplement the PPM, all Plant Rooms, Major Plant and Equipment are inspected at a regular frequency as
part of an ongoing Safety & Environmental program. These measures help to ensure that noise and vibration generated form the
site will not give rise to complaints
