1 Introduction
1.1 Site history / background
Oaktree Environmental Ltd have been instructed by Pyrite Industries Ltd to prepare a Dust
Management Plan (DMP) for their proposed tyre recycling facility.
1.1.1 The purpose of this DMP will allow Weybridge Skip Hire Ltd to implement an action plan
should site operatives detect a dust presence or receive complaints from third parties.
1.1.2 Guidance has been sought from the Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM document
“Guidance on the Assessment of Mineral Dust Impacts for Planning” dated May 2016
(v1.1) in preparing this DMP.
1.2 Site location
1.2.1 The application site is located within the larger Squires Farm Industrial Estate, Palehouse
Common. The Industrial Estate is within a rural location although it is situated approximately
3 miles to the south east of central Uckfield. The Estate is accessed via a concrete road
leading from Palehouse Common Road, an unclassified road which adjoins the B2192
approximately 300 metres to the east. The B2192 connects to the A22 some 1.5 miles to the
south.
1.2.2 The nearest residential property is approximately 150-175 metres to the west of the site
and comprises Tewitts Farm. Residential cottages are also situated approximately 300
metres west of the site on Pump Lane, (as well as adjacent to the B2192 approximately 350
metres to the east of the site. A further residential property is some 320 metres to the
south of the site across two open fields and Palehouse Common Road.
1.2.3 The site is not located within a designated Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). The
nearest AQMA is situated over 1,000m from the site and given the small number vehicle
movements associated with the site, it is not anticipated that air quality in terms of NOx or
PM10 will be affected by this development.

1.3 Facility overview
1.3.1 The site will operate in accordance with a SR2015No6 Environmental Permit (EP) which
will be issued by the Environment Agency (EA).
1.3.2 The main treatment processes which will be carried out on site will include the following:
• Manual sorting/separation by hand
• Shredding (by using appropriate mechanical shredding plant and equipment)
• Baling (by using appropriate mechanical baling plant and equipment)
• Separation (by using appropriate mechanical plant and equipment)
• Magnetic separation of ferrous metals (overband magnet)
1.3.3 The waste types handled on site will consist of dry, inert and non-hazardous household,
commercial and industrial waste arising from activities within the surrounding area. This is
as defined in the Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 and Section 75
of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and will consist of end-of-life tyres and rubber.
1.4 Site management
1.4.1 The site will be assigned a Technically Competent Manager (TCM) who will be responsible
for the general management of the site including the acceptance and handling of any
potentially dust-forming wastes.
1.4.2 The company, through the TCM, will ensure that a nominated deputy is sufficiently trained
and be familiar with all site management documentation (which includes this DMP) in
addition to all relevant company procedures who, in the absence of the TCM, will act the
competent person.

2 Site operations with the potential for dust creation
2.1 General site procedures
2.1.1 The full procedures with regards to checking & inspection of loads, preliminary procedures,
waste acceptance etc. are discussed in Section 6 of the Planning, Design & Access Statement
(PDAS).
2.1.2 In general; waste will arrive at the site using Pyrite Industries Ltd’s own vehicles/contracts
whose details would be checked prior to the delivery/collection of waste. The waste will be
subject to the rigorous checking and waste acceptance procedures prior to being deposited
and stored in the relevant areas on site.
2.2 Vehicles, plant and equipment
2.2.1 Waste will be handled using the plant listed in Table 2.1 below. Only trained operators will
be permitted to drive/operate the plant listed below. Any changes to the list will be notified
to the Environment Agency prior to implementation. The minimum requirements when the
site is operational are shown in bold italic print.

2.3 Overview of waste processing activities controls
2.3.1 Reference should be made to the Proposed Site Layout; Drawing No. 4034/1906/03
situated in Appendix I of this DMP which illustrates how the waste will be treated following
deposit to the site. Based on this, the next section details the likely sources of dust which
could arise from the site.
2.4 Emissions controls
2.4.1 The main sources of dust and particular matter to arise from the site are as follows:
i) Unsheeted vehicles accessing/egressing to/from the site
ii) Unloading of waste deliveries into the waste reception area
iii) Loading of waste into mechanical treatment plant
iv) The shredding process during treatment
v) Mechanical treatment process (discharge points etc.)
vi) The baling process
vii) Transporting / loading of waste around the site
2.4.2 Other sources could be linked to prolonged periods of dry/warm or windy weather
conditions.

3 Dust Management & Control Measures
3.1 Responsibility for implementation of the DMP
3.1.1 The site manager, site foreman and TCM (site management) will be responsible for the
implementation of the DMP. Deputy site managers, senior plant operatives will also be
identified in order to support the site manager.
3.1.2 Site management will ensure the DMP is reviewed annually or sooner in the event of
complaints/dust issues; whichever is the soonest, with any amendments or alterations put
in place as soon as reasonably possible.
3.1.3 The above staff with the aid of Oaktree Environmental Ltd (if required) will be responsible
in providing training to relevant operational staff to ensure they are deemed competent and
understand the contents of this DMP. Staff will undergo re-fresher every 12 months or in
the event of a dust complaint / issue or the implementation operational changes. If deemed
necessary, a suitable Dust/Air Monitoring Consultant may be contacted to train staff
regarding third party monitoring i.e. Ambient Air Monitoring.
3.1.4 The following control measures listed in Sections 3.2 – 3.8 detail the proposed measures the
site will have to minimise dust emissions and procedures in place during all site operations
i.e. day to day.
3.2 Control Measures (staff training/daily inspections)
3.2.1 Good housekeeping and site practices are vital to ensure that the impacts from fugitive dust
impacts are controlled. The site will undertake dust monitoring inspections throughout the
day for the presence of dust with corrective actions taking place upon discovery.
Operational staff will be suitably trained in procedures to keep the levels of dust to a
minimum including prevention and mitigation. The inspections will be once a day minimum
and more frequent during dry/windy weather conditions or less during damp weather
conditions. The inspections points may vary on site so are not included on the Proposed
Layout Plan.
Dust Management Plan Version 1.1 Pyrite Industries Ltd 22 May 2019

3.3 Control measures (boundary fencing/containment)
3.3.1 The site benefits from 2m high wooden fencing to the west and there are a number of
mature trees on other perimeters of the site which act as a further boundary.
3.4 Control measures - site surfacing /drainage
3.4.1 All areas which store and process the waste and product will benefit from a concrete
hardstanding surface and as the site surface will reduce the risk of airborne debris such as
fugitive emissions, mud, stones being tracked around areas of the site from vehicle chassis.
3.4.2 The concrete area is relatively flat and any defects such as cracks, rivets will be repaired as
soon as practically possible to ensure the site can be swept by hiring in a road-sweeper or
similar.
3.5 Control measures - water supply
3.5.1 A permanent water supply will be available on site 24/7 to ensure the dust suppression
systems can function effectively. All external water pipes will be lagged to prevent frost
damage during winter months and the operator will subscribe to the Met Office in the event
of a drought being imminent. This will enable the operator to source water and store in
tanks prior to a potential water ban.
3.5.2 The supply and drainage of the water is provided from the sewerage undertaker who can
be contacted in the event of low water pressure to ensure the issue is rectified so
suppression techniques are not compromised.
3.5.3 If additional suppression is required following increased dust nuisance from daily
inspections or third complaints received, the applicant will contact a suitable Air/Dust
Monitoring Consultant to install a suppression system around the site. Given the waste is
stored and processed externally the site will deploy suppression techniques to the areas
shown on 4034/1906/03 (processing areas) which will consist of a series of water sprays
connecting to the water supply which will be in use during dry, windy weather conditions to
stop any fugitive emissions escaping the site boundary.

3.6 Control Measures – site surfaces and vehicle movements
3.6.1 The control measures implemented by site management to minimise the risk of dust and
debris emissions from dusty site surfaces and vehicle movements include:
• All site surfaces used for the tracking and running of vehicles and/or plant and all
stockpiles of wastes which have the potential to be dust-forming will be swept manually
be operational staff during the morning and pre-end of shift, six days per week to
minimise fines, dust & debris. If this is not considered suitable, the applicant may look
to hire in a road sweeper during extreme dry weather conditions lasting for over 24
hours.
• Vehicle speed on will be restricted to 5 miles per hour. Signs will be erected at the
relevant areas of the site, including the main access gates, to advise drivers of the speed
limit. This will reduce the re-suspension of dust and particulate matter.
• All vehicles will be checked before they leave the site to ensure no mud/dust can stretch
beyond the site access. All incoming/outgoing vehicle loads will be sheeted.
• Any mud/dust deposited onto the public highway or industrial estate road will be
treated as an emergency and cleaned by operatives or by way of a road sweeper which
would be hired-in as necessary.
3.7 Control Measures – storage of waste
3.7.1 The control measures implemented by site management to minimise the risk of dust and
debris emissions from the continuing storage of wastes and the loading/unloading of these
include:
• Other than the waste reception area which will consist of stacked tyres, all other
waste/product will be stored in tonne bags and contained.
• Prior to loading into the treatment plant, tyres will be washed / sprayed using a hose or
dipped into a container of water to remove any mud/dust from the tyre; this also ensure
the shredding is more effective.
Dust Management Plan Version 1.1 Pyrite Industries Ltd 22 May 2019
10
• If required stockpiles can be sprayed with water during >24 hour periods of dry/windy
weather to prevent excessive drying and dust formation.
• As standard, the removal of material from stockpiles will be carried out from the most
sheltered location adjacent to the containment wall. If necessary, stockpiles will be pre-
wetted and sprayed during loading operations.
• Drop heights from conveyor points will be kept to a minimum to prevent dust emissions
where adjustment permit; these points will also benefit from a water spray system.
3.8 Control measures - Loading and unloading vehicles
3.8.1 All loading and unloading of waste will be done by forklift truck and it is considered that this
will not lead to any dust formation. Furthermore, the waste being loaded will not be ‘dusty’
in nature.

4 DUST MANAGEMENT RISK ASSESSMENT MODEL
4.1 Fundamental considerations
4.1.1 Source/Hazard: A property or situation that in particular circumstances could lead to harm.
4.1.2 Consequences: The adverse effects or harm as the result of realising a hazard which causes
the quality of human health or the environment to be impaired in the short or long term.
4.1.3 Risk: A combination of the probability of occurrence of a defined hazard and the magnitude
of the consequences of the occurrence.
4.2 Pathway
4.2.1 Important in the assessment of a particular risk(s) and to inform the subsequent
management of the risk(s) is the identification of the pathway(s) through which the risk may
affect the identified receptor(s). The following are examples of pathways:
• Air
• Ground
• Water
• Direct contact / exposure
Dust Management Plan Version 1.1 Pyrite Industries Ltd 22 May 2019
12
4.3 Consequences
4.3.1 The following table highlights the consequences of the hazard(s) identified and the
abbreviations for each as used in the Risk Assessment Table in Section 3:
Table 4.1 - Consequences
Abbreviation Consequences
A MINOR INJURY B MAJOR INJURY C DEATH D AIR POLLUTION E WATER POLLUTION F POLLUTION OF LAND
4.4 Effects of consequences
4.4.1 In order to quantify the level of risk and identify the appropriate management procedures,
the potential effects must be considered, as outlined in the table below:
Table 4.2 -Potential effects
Abbreviation Effect of Consequences Management Required?
S SEVERE In all cases Mo MODERATE In most cases Mi MILD Occasionally N NEGLIGIBLE No
4.4.2 Note: “Management” is the action required to reduce the risk of a hazard causing a problem
on site. Contingency measures are procedures which are in place to reduce the
consequences of a hazard.
Dust Management Plan Version 1.1 Pyrite Industries Ltd 22 May 2019
13
4.5 Risk estimation and evaluation (probability/frequency of occurrence of hazard)
4.5.1 The following table allows the likelihood of an occurrence of an identified risk to be
assessed:
Table 4.3 -Likelihood
Probability Evaluation
1 Very likely Could occur during any working day 2 Likely Could occur regularly 3 Possible Event possible 4 Unlikely Event very unlikely
4.6 Risk assessment outcome (combination of probability & consequence)
4.6.1 The following table shows the resultant risk of an identified hazard or potential situation.
This uses the hierarchy of both probability and consequence to assess the level of risk. The
level of risk determines what level of management would be required in order to reduce
the risk of occurrence and/or scale.
Table 4.4 - Risk assessment outcome
Consequence
S Mo Mi N
Prob
abili
ty 1 High High Medium Low
2 High Medium Low Near-Zero
3 Medium Low Near-Zero N/A
4 Low Near-Zero N/A N/A
4.6.2 Where the risk assessment outcome is high, first-level management of the risk is essential,
i.e. removal of hazard, implementation of major infrastructure/structural design measures
to contain the risk/hazard and company policy changes to incorporate the management of
the risk. All risk management measures must be supplemented with detailed induction
training, spot training and tool-box talks to ensure all site staff and users are made fully
aware of the risk/hazard, all potential consequences and necessary management and
contingency procedures.
Dust Management Plan Version 1.1 Pyrite Industries Ltd 22 May 2019
14
4.6.3 Where the risk assessment outcome is medium, the management of the risk should be
tackled by management or delegates. If removal of the hazard is not possible, management
will normally be met through implementing minor structural design measures or by
imposing procedures for the prevention of occurrences which will be conveyed to all site
staff through the appropriate training, including any contingency measures/procedures.
4.6.4 Where the risk assessment outcome is low, the management of the risk can be done wholly
through appropriate training to site staff including any contingency measures/procedures.
4.6.5 Where the risk assessment outcome is near-zero, site staff should be made aware of the
possibility of an occurrence and contingency measures should be readily available to all staff
should they be required.
4.7 Risk assessment table
4.7.1 The following pages contain the site-specific risk assessment for the site with appropriate
remedial actions, recommendations and comments included for each identified hazard,
potential contaminant or situation.
4.7.2 The table also contains references to the appropriate section(s) of the site’s EMS for
additional management procedures.
4.7.3 As discussed in the section above, all situations which identify a risk from Low –High should
be incorporated into the staff/visitor training schedule, where appropriate and acted on as
required.
4.7.4 The table overleaf details the relevant pathways and receptors for each individual
dust/emission source and relevant measures required to break these linkages. The control
measures outlined in Section 4 will be included within these tables as well as additional
specific measures.

5 Monitoring and Recording
5.1 Visual assessment
5.1.1 Site management which will consist of the technically competent manager site manager or
site foreman will make a visual inspection of dust emissions around the entire site perimeter
at least twice daily. Additional monitoring may be carried out during times of severe
dry/windy weather conditions or should operatives observe significant levels of dust. The
monitoring will be carried at intervals out while the site is operational, should it be observed
that dust is being emitted from the site, notes will made as to; the amount.
5.1.2 The results of monitoring exercises and any remedial action taken will be entered into the
log book which is available for East Sussex County Council to inspect upon request. The
name of the site management will be stated in the site’s diary / inspection form for each
day of operation.
5.1.3 Should the monitoring conclude that a certain activity is giving rise to dust which is migrating
offsite, then the contingencies shown in Section 6 below will take place to reduce the
impact.
5.1.4 The site manager will be suitably trained to carry out these duties. Further information
regarding training and technical competence is provided within the site’s EMS.
5.2 Monitoring
5.2.1 Operational staff will continuously visually monitor dust emissions whilst the site is in
operation and will aim to prevent dust emissions using the procedures listed above, asking
the site management for advice as required. Work procedures will be stopped/adjusted
should it be evident significant dust is being emitted which has the potential to migrate
offsite.
5.2.2 Operational staff will also be required to make a note of any unavoidable events such as bad
weather in the site diary, rather than just actual complaints received. This will ensure that
if complaints are received retrospectively from either East Sussex County Council or directly,
Dust Management Plan Version 1.1 Pyrite Industries Ltd 22 May 2019
16
any circumstances which led to that complaint as a result of elements outside of the
operator’s control would be able to be attributed (or, at least, in part) to the cause of the
complaint.
5.2.3 Due to the location of the site, its surrounds and the likely existing air quality, it is deemed
that PM10 monitoring equipment is not required at the proposed development.
Dust Management Plan Version 1.1 Pyrite Industries Ltd 22 May 2019
17
6 Emergency & Contingency Procedures
6.1 Staff shortages
6.1.1 In the event of unforeseen staff shortages arising from illness, suspension or no shows, the
operator will make a judgement whether to reduce the number of incoming loads, thus
reducing processing frequency and divert material to an alternative site. The operator will
then seek further employment within a timely manner to ensure the site can continue to
operate at its required capacity.
6.2 Weather conditions
6.2.1 The site will regular updates from the Met Office in terms weather alerts for the following
weather conditions which could cause a potential on or off-site dust complaint:
i) High winds >30mph
ii) Droughts or periods of hot weather exceeding 3 major dry days which could lead
to water shortages, hosepipe bans and excessive dust.
6.2.2 The site will install the following preventative measures to avoid serious dust pollution:
HIGH WINDS
• There will be no sorting, processing or treatment of any wastes which are likely to be
blown around during conditions of high winds; high winds would be where it is evident
where dust is escaping beyond the site.
• Vehicles leaving the site will be sheeted to comply with the requirements of the Duty of
Care legislation.
• Storage of loose waste/material will be reduced to a suitable height to prevent the
material escaping beyond the site boundary i.e. below the heights of boundary walls.
• Stockpiles may be covered with tarpaulin in the event the above procedures are not
considered effective.

• In the event of extreme winds, the site will deploy the above measures and may be
forced to close operations until conditions have improved.
DROUGHTS/WARM, DRY WEATHER
• In extreme cases such as a hosepipe ban or water shortage, the site will ensure there is
additional water available i.e. tanks/containers prior to the ban.
• The site will contact the water company in the event of an emergency to see if the water
pressure can be increased.
• If the above measures are not suitable, the site will look at further measures such as
additional fencing or dust netting in agreement with East Sussex County Council
• Where dust is becoming a major concern then the operator will stop processing the
material and cover the piles using tarpaulin until conditions or dust suppression
techniques are considered effective.
6.3 Operational failure
6.3.1 The manager will be contacted by staff in the event of any operational failure such as the
breakdown of plant, systems or equipment and will decide whether operations are to
continue or be suspended prior to corrective action being taken. Serious operational
failures, which result in the closure of the site, will be recorded in the site diary.

7 Complaints and Responsibilities
7.1 Complaints procedure
7.1.1 If any dust complaints are received, the complaint will be assigned to an operative familiar
with the sites operation who will complete a 'complaints and events log' and detailed
individually on the complaints form (in Appendix II), both of which will be kept for inspection
on request by the LA and/or EA. Details of information to be completed are dates, nature of
complaint, weather conditions at the time of the complaint, investigation details, action
taken and a signature (as a minimum). Complaints will be investigated and responded to
within 3 working days.
7.1.2 The operator would also be required to make a note of any unavoidable events
plant/equipment malfunctions in the site diary, rather than just actual complaints received.
This will ensure that if complaints are received retrospectively from either the Council/EA
or directly, any circumstances which led to that complaint as a result of elements outside of
the operator’s control would be able to be attributed to the cause of the complaint.
7.1.3 The applicant will regularly liaise with the LPA and other relevant interested parties
(typically by email on a quarterly basis or following a complaint) regarding the dust
mitigation measures implemented and their effectives.
