1.2 Description of Site Activities Jannsen Biologics is a biotechnology company involved in the manufacture of antibodies and therapeutic proteins derived from cell cultures of genetically modified microorganisms. The process can be divided into two stages:

Cell Culture in which cells form a specific working cell line are grown under controlled conditions and the protein from these is then harvested using process called Protein-A affinity chromatography.

Purification in which the product is taken through a series of purification steps including viral inactivation, cation/anion exchange chromatography and viral filtration before being filled and frozen as finished product.

Products currently approved for manufacture at the site include:

CNTO 148- Used in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

CNTO 1275- Used in the treatment of Psoriasis and Multiple Sclerosis

CNTO 136- used in the treatment of Auto-immune disease.

2.3 Organic compounds Screening Results of annual organic solvent screening of WWTP effluent emission point SE1, as per Condition 6.11 are detailed in Appendix 1.

2.4 Groundwater Monitoring

Biannual groundwater monitoring, as per Schedule C.6, of licence was carried out during June and November 2012. Groundwater Analytical Results Major cations and anions All the major ion analytical results were below their relevant groundwater quality standards. Total alkalinity concentrations were similar to the previous sampling round. Total alkalinity values are not considered having any significant environmental importance Chemical oxygen demand (COD) COD results obtained from all four monitoring wells during April and October 2012 monitoring rounds were below the laboratory detection limit which represents a decrease from the previous November 2011 monitoring round where elevated COD was detected on site with the highest concentration in AGW1 (99.2mg/l). Total organic carbon (TOC) TOC concentrations in the monitoring wells on-site in 2012 ranged from 3 to 5mg/l similar to previous rounds and are considered an indicator of the overall purity and organic content of water. Nitrite, nitrate, ammonium and total nitrogen All four samples obtained during the April and October 2012 monitoring rounds detected concentrations of nitrite below the laboratory detection limit, similar to the previous monitoring round. The concentrations of nitrate ranged from 15.9mg/l in AGW4 (October) to 22.8mg/l in AGW2 (April) with no comparison standard exceedance. The Groundwater Regulation S.I. 9 of 2010 nitrate standard of 37.5mg/l has not been exceeded in the groundwater monitoring rounds on-site since 2008 when exceedances on-site were thought to be attributed to surrounding agricultural activities. In April 2012 two of the four monitoring wells (AGW2 and AGW3) detected ammonium concentration results below the laboratory detection limit similar to the previous monitoring round. A trace concentration was detected in AGW1 (0.05mg/l) with a concentration detected in AGW4 of 0.19mg/l which slightly exceeds the IGV of 0.15mg/l and Groundwater Regulation S.I. 9 of 2010 standard of 0.175mg/l. Ammonium was not detected above laboratory detection limits in October 2012 in all four monitoring wells. Total nitrogen concentrations ranged from 5.8mg/l in AGW1 to 23.2mgl/ in AGW4 in April. Total nitrogen concentrations are considered an indictor of the overall purity of water. Nitrogen based compounds can occur in groundwater as a result of natural mineral deposits or anthropogenic sources such as wastewater. Organohalogens (SVOCs and VOCs) The Volatile and Semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs/SVOCs) concentrations were below the laboratory detection limits of 0.01mg/l in all four monitoring wells analysed in April and October 2012, similar to previous monitoring rounds.


8

CONCLUSIONS The groundwater quality for the April and October 2012 groundwater monitoring rounds is generally very good and consistent with previous monitoring rounds with no significant exceedance of the relevant groundwater quality standards. There are no potable groundwater abstractions in the immediate vicinity of the site.

Total 29,425 26,918 29,637 Table 9: Energy Consumption.

The Biomass Boiler was taken off-line in April 2010 leading to a direct increase in natural gas usage on-site and an accompanying decreasing usage of biomass fuel types.

2.9 Water Consumption.

Mains water usage on-site for 2010 to 2012 are detailed in table 10 below.

Water (m3)

Parameter 2010 2011 2012

Water 73,518 54,743 61,943 Table 10: 2012 Water Usage.

The increase in volume used in 2012 was as a direct result of reduced rainwater recovery as the rain water harvesting system was being upgraded. This system reduces potable water usage by approximately 25% when operational.

2.10 Waste Management Wastes generated on site during 2012 are details in table 11 below.

The total waste generated on site during 2012 increased by 19%.

Non-Hazardous waste generated on-site increased by 9%, increase related to new processes notified in 2011.


11

There was a 188% increase in quantity of Hazardous Waste generated on-site due to lack of segregation of manufacturing non hazardous wastes from hazardous wastes in 2012. This has been adopted as a program for management in 2013.

2.11 Noise Monitoring Annual noise monitoring was carried out on-site in October 2012 as per Condition 6. Results are detailed

in tables 12 and 13 below (Exceedances of the licence limit are highlighted in bold).

These exceedances in License limit were not associated with plant activities and was associated with road noise, ambient natural noise and anthropogenic noise from outside of the facility boundary.

2.12 Agency Monitoring and Enforcement

During 2012 the EPA visited the site on one occasion to sample site emissions to sewer point SE1 and surface water emission point SEMP3 and on a second occasion to audit the facility.

3 Management of the Activity

3.1 Schedule of Environmental Objectives and Targets Janssen Biologics determines its objectives, targets and Environmental Management Programmes based on a site philosophy of continuous improvement across all aspects of our business. They are determined in manner which is consistent with the site Environmental Policy and with consideration of the site Register of Environmental Aspects and other legal, corporate and social obligations. Janssen Biologics has set for itself 6 environmental objectives as follows:

1. Manage site operations in a manner which is consistent with achieving improved energy efficiencies and reductions in usage of natural resources. (Ref: OBJ 10)

2. Improve environmental performance and protect natural resources through the design and operation of plant processes in an environmentally responsible manner. (Ref: OBJ 6)

3. Reduce quantities of hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated on-site and optimise waste management operations in line with hierarchy of waste management. (Ref: OBJ 11)

4. Work with external suppliers, contractors and service providers in effecting positive impact on site indirect environmental aspects. (Ref: OBJ 4)

5. Ensure plant operation have no adverse impact on locality or those using local amenities

and endeavour to promote environmental awareness among all our stakeholders.(Ref: OBJ 2)

6. Maintain full compliance with all legislative, regulatory and corporate obligations though continually reviewing and improving all aspects of our EMS. (Ref: OBJ 8)
