South Dublin County Council N7 Newlands Cross Upgrade Environmental Impact Statement Arup Consulting Engineers will have the power to ban offending vehicles from the site. These measures will minimise PM10 emissions; • Machinery exhausts will be positioned at a height to ensure adequate dispersion of emissions; • Chutes and skips will be enclosed when dropping material from a height; • Loaded lorries and skips will be covered; • Haul routes, storage and stockpiles will be located away from sensitive receptors, where possible; • Surrounding roads used by trucks to access to and egress from the site will be cleaned regularly using a mechanical road sweeper. Roads will be cleaned subject to local authority requirements. Site roads will be cleaned on a daily basis, or more regularly, if required; • Road edges and footpaths will be cleaned using a hand broom with controlled damping; • Wheelwash facilities will be provided with rumble grids to remove excess mud from wheels. Dust deposition monitoring will be conducted at a number of locations in the vicinity of the development site, using the Bergerhoff method (German Standard VD 2119, 1972). Results will be compared to the TA Luft guidelines. Should an exceedance of the TA Luft limit occur during the construction phase, additional mitigation measures, for example the erection of a screen along the site boundary, will be implemented. 9.6.2 Opening and Design Years (2010 and 2025) 9.6.2.1 Operational Traffic In general, mitigation measures in relation to traffic-derived pollutants have focused on improvements in both engine technology and fuel quality. Recent EU legislation, based on the EU sponsored Auto-Oil programmes, has imposed stringent emission standards for key pollutants. These are Euro III and Euro IV (98/69/EC) for passenger cars to be complied with in 2002 and 2006 respectively, and Euro III, IV and V for diesel HGVs to be introduced in 2001, 2006 and 2008. In relation to fuel quality, the EU Fuel Directive (2003/17/EC amending 98/70/EC) has introduced significant reductions in both sulphur and benzene content of fuels. As concentrations of NO2, CO, benzene, PM10 and PM2.5 are all predicted to comply with the relevant AQS as a result of the proposed scheme for both the opening year (2010) and the design year (2025), no additional mitigation measures are proposed. 9.7 Air Quality Residual Impact The residual impact on air quality as a result of the construction phase and the operational phase of the proposed scheme will not be significant.
