In accordance with our EMS, we have developed the following environmental work instructions. All work instructions have been produced to assist our site -based teams when carrying out works on site. All work instructions are externally audited annually and third party accredited by a certified body. Compliance with company environmental work instructions is audited regularly by the Environmental Manager. Any non-compliance is recorded and reported as a non-conformance. Suitable corrective and / or preventative action is agreed and carried out within specific timescales. All actions are verified by the Company director and closed out. Non-conformances are reviewed on a regular basis and used to identify trends to drive business improvement. Our company environmental work instructions are: Work Instruction No. Title Env 01 Managing Wildlife & Protected Species Env 02 Trees & Hedgerows Env 03 Invasive Plants & Designated Wildlife Species Env 04 Air Pollution Env 05 Dust, Noise & Nuisances Env 06 Transport Env 07 Noise & Vibration Env 08 Water Env 09 Control Of Discharge to Water Env 10 Spill Containment & Disposal Env 11 Contamination Env 12 Waste & Special Wastes Env 13 Carbon Footprint Management Env 14 Archaeology Env 15 Storage OF COSHH & Spill Containment Env 16 Waste Duty of Care Process Flowchart Env 17 Swift Boxes Env 18 Soil Management Our site-based teams have access to our work instructions via our SharePoint system. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 8 5. Summary of Environmental Risks & Actions (Impacts & Aspects) An environmental risk assessment (impacts & aspects register) has been completed for this project. The assessment records all environmental risks and scores them using a traffic light system. Those coloured in red are considered “Significant” with immediate action required. Those coloured yellow are considered a medium risk while those scored green are considered low risk. The following categories are considered when completing the risk register: • Emissions to Air • Discharges to Water • Waste Management (inc hazardous waste) • Contaminated Land • Noise Dust Vibrations Disruption • Buried Utility Services • Use of Natural Resources • Eco Systems / Biodiversity / Ecology • Indirect Effects Each risk is then scored high, medium or low based upon the following factors: • Normal / Abnormal / Emergency Occurrence • Legislative Requirements • Control or Influence • Severity • Scale • Probability • Duration • Compliance All significant risks are immediately addressed through agreed actions, who / person(s) responsible for completing action, and a timescale for when it must be completed. All risks and management programmes are regularly reviewed. The following environmental risks have been identified for the Tully Residential Scheme: NO ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE ACTION/COMMENT 1 Emissions to Air Increased carbon footprint during construction Low Groundworks is required throughout site development works. All plant will be modern with high energy efficiency and subcontractors will be audited on idling plant compliance. 2 Discharge to water Pollution to ground and surface waters Medium The site is located close to the River Shambles, which is designated WFD “Poor” status. Works will not directly impact the river but good practice measures will still be deployed. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 9 3 Waste Management Waste Pollution including hazardous wastes Low Resource waste management plan will be implemented. Site team will consider direct re-use on site and Article-27 By Product Notification to encourage material re-use off-site. 4 Contaminated Land Waste Pollution including illegal disposal Medium Further chemical testing is required to confirm contaminated land. As it is a greenfield site, it is likely that soil will be uncontaminated and can be considered for reuse on/off site. 5 Noise, Dust & Vibration Noise, dust & vibration leading to potential pollution to local residents / businesses Medium The proposed scheme is adjacent to existing residential properties within the Tully and Manor Wood estates. Site Hoarding will be installed to limit nuisance off-site and dust suppression will be applied when required. 6 Buried Utility Services Potential for damage to existing buried services from excavation works Low All utility drawings will be sourced from providers prior to works. The scheme is taking place within a greenfield site, so existing buried services will be limited to the main road only. 7 Use of Natural Resources Potential exploitation of natural resources Low Temporary Electricity supply will be preferred for the project compound. Use of petrol and diesel will be limited to groundworks only and will be stored away from all sensitive receptors. Resources such as timber will be sourced from schemes such as FSC. 8 Biodiversity/ Ecology Potential disturbance to local ecosystems Low Tully Residential Scheme is located circa 13km from “Slieve Beagh SPA” and 18km from “Kilroosky Lough SAC”. A proposed NHA “Wrights Wood” is also located circa 1.5km away. Due to the distance between the Tully scheme and designated sites, the impact to Biodiveristy is expected to be low. 9 Indirect Effects Potential disturbance caused by works e.g. traffic Low Traffic Management Plan will be created within the construction phase plan to ensure traffic is managed adequately on the scheme. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 10 6. Pollution Prevention & Emergency Preparedness Response Plan Our pollution prevention and emergency preparedness response plan will be produced and implemented at the Tully Residential project. All GEDA Construction staff have received emergency response training in accordance with our ISO14001 environmental management system . In the event of an emergency or potential polluting incident, the following CD132 procedure (Figure 4) must be adhered too: Figure 4- CD132 Procedure RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 11 6.1 Reporting an Emergency Incident Our Environmental Manager will report emergency incidents through the following procedure: • Contact the Emergency Response Agencies and the Environmental Protection Agency to communicate the incident details (this may include the completion and submission of an incident notification form). • Be available to take calls regarding the incident. • Keep appraised of the on-going situation to determine the appropriate response level from staff. • Provide and support the technical response to the incident. • Ensure that suitable safety precautions are in place regarding any on-site response. • Provide and support the monitoring and analytical response. • Advise on notification to the public and other Agencies. • Advise on remedial action necessary including preventative action i.e. potable water supplies. • Ensure compliance with the incident notification conditions of the licence. Our Environmental Manager will also notify Monaghan County Council in writing within one day of all incidents affecting or likely to affect the operation of the W orks, immediatel y after they become aware of the incident and/or its effect. Any contaminated material shall be removed off-site to a suitable licensed facility using a consignment note. 6.2 Emergency Preparedness Site Plan Contact Number GARDAI Emergency- Monaghan Station Call 999 or 047 77200 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 053 916 0600 24 Hour Spill Response Team- SEED 0844 381 5650 Waste Contractor- ENVA Carrickmacross 042 967 3587 GEDA Construction Head Office 048 8774 7600 Environmental Manager- Caoimhin Robinson 048 8774 7600 Build Ireland Associate Director- Eddie Murnin 048 8774 7600 7. Surface Water Management During the construction phase of the Tully Residential Scheme, GEDA Construction shall take all necessary precautions to prevent the pollution of River Shambles (Figure 5) and Ulster Canal, which is circa 300m away. GEDA Construction have developed a Surface and Groundwater Management plan for the construction phase of the Tully Residential Scheme, which is shown in Appendix 2. This plan will outline the methodology for controlling groundwater from site development works into nearby surface water sources. This plan will be subject to approval from Monaghan County Council and Island Fisheries. The construction works will be performed in compliance with the “Guidelines on Protection of Fisheries During Construction Works in and Adjacent to Waters”. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 12 Figure 5- River Shambles proximity to proposed scheme (red box) GEDA Construction shall therefore implement mitigation measures to ensure strict environmental protection can be maintained in the Tully area. These measures are outlined further in sections 7.1 to 7.3 below: 7.1 Excavations to be kept free from groundwater Groundwater in the excavations shall be dealt with in such manner as will prevent the surfaces on or against which foundations or other work will be constructed from any deterioration of their natural condition, or from such condition as improved by work executed und er the Contract. GEDA Construction shall take all necessary precautions to ensure any dewatering of excavations in accordance with the approved surface and groundwater management plan. 7.2 Watercourses Tully Residential Scheme is located close to both the River Shambles and Ulster Canal and as such, appropriate silt fencing (Figure 6) will be installed along low points at the site boundary to reduce surface water runoff risks. In addition, our Emergency Preparedness & Response procedure will be implemented in the event of a pollution and / or potential polluting incident. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 13 Figure 6- example silt fence for surface water runoff protection 7.3 Pollution Control Management All GEDA Construction sites have spill kits located in designated areas. Spill drill training has been delivered to appropriate members of staff whose names are communicated to all working on site. Fuels / chemicals will be stored in a designated COSHH storage area on hard standing areas away from water courses and drainage to eliminate / reduce impact of potential pollution incident. All bulk fuels are stored in integrally bunded tanks (capacity 110% volume of contents) with drip trays located close by. Designated concrete washout areas will be installed within work zones e.g. sealed container. Concrete delivery drivers will be encouraged to washout into sealed containers. When the sealed container is approaching capacity, concrete mixture will be placed inside and allowed to harden. Once ready, the washout material can then be broken out and reused as general fill or taken off site to a licensed waste management facility in accordance with the Waste Duty of Care. All spills are reportable to the Site and Environmental Manager. Emergency contact numbers are included within section 6.2 of this document. 8. Contaminated Land HANMAR Site Investigation Services conducted a ground investigation report entitled “23-102 Report Proposed Development at Tully Co Monaghan”, in November 2023 to explore current ground conditions on the proposed scheme. The report does not complete a chemical suite of testing to confirm reuse suitability under the soil generic assessment criteria for residential plant uptake. The chemical suite of testing would therefore also confirm contaminated land requirements through WM3 Waste Classification criteria as non-hazardous or hazardous waste. This testing will be required prior to the start of the proposed scheme. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 14 9. Energy Management 9.1 Construction Stage Carbon emissions associated with this project will be monitored and recorded. The following will be recorded and reported on a monthly basis: • White Diesel • Business Travel (inc site personnel and sub-contractors) • Temporary Electricity Supply • Deliveries to site • Water • Waste The above will be recorded and sent to the Environmental Manager on a monthly basis so that the project environmental tracker can be updated on SustainIQ software. The emissions to air associated with this project are not considered as significant but GEDA will continue to monitor and report them. 10. Waste Management 10.1 Construction Stage GEDA Construction will audit licensed waste management contractors to ensure we comply with applicable legislation and receive regular up to date and accurate waste management reports. This ensures compliance with the W aste Management (Collection Permit) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 and Waste Management (Facility Permit and Registration) (Amendment) Regulations 2019. Each approved waste contractor must provide copies of their waste collection and facility permits before waste transfer. GEDA Project teams complete waste spot checks on approved waste contractors and detail evidence with CD134 “Waste Spot Check” documents. GEDA Construction have appointed TBC as the waste management contractor for the Tully Project: Waste Collection Permit- TBC Valid From: Valid to: Permit Number: Waste Facility Permit – TBC Date of issue: Date of Expiry: Location: Permit Number: GEDA Construction have produced a Resource Waste Management Plan to be submitted for approval prior to commencement of works. Refer to Appendix 1. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 15 10.2 Demolition and Site Preparation There are no demolition requirements on the proposed scheme, as the site is greenfield in nature. The topographical survey entitled “T01396-04-19”, conducted on 16/04/19 by Benchmarking Surveying, indicates the site slopes from the northwest to the southeast, at an elevation of between 87.00 & 66.00 metres AOD. A significant cut and fill exercise will need to be conducted during site preparations to allow the project team to achieve suitable levels for development. This should mean that surplus material will be restricted due to reuse requirements. 10.3 Disposal of Surplus Material GEDA Construction will submit a Resource Waste Management Plan for approval by Monaghan County Council. Material may be removed off -site, as a by-product in accordance with Article 27 of the European Communities (Waste Directive) Regulations 2011, which requires that certain conditions are met and that by-product notifications are made to the EPA via their online notification form. Excavate d material will not be removed from site until approval from the EPA has been received. The potential to reuse material as a by-product will be confirmed during the course of the excavation works, with the objective of eliminating any unnecessary disposal of material. If the material is deemed to be a waste, then removal and reuse / recovery / disposal of the material will be carried out in accordance with the Waste Management legislation. 11. Construction Nuisance 11.1 Noise Management Noise exposure aspects within the scheme will be managed in accordance with the requirements of Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations as amended by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) (Amendment) Regulations 2016 and associated guidance from the Health and Safety Authority. Noise levels during construction shall comply with the NRA construction noise criterion : Maximum Permissible Construction Noise Levels at the Facade of Dwellings during Construction (NRA, 2004): • 70dB(A) LAeq 1hr and 80dB(A) LAmax between 08:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday • 65dB(A) LAeq 1hr and 75dB(A) LAmax between 09:00 and 13:00 Saturday In accordance with best practice, noise during construction of the Tully Residential Scheme will be managed in accordance with the recommendations in BS 5228. General guidelines for limiting the disturbance from these works are outlined below: • Limit noisy construction works to 08.00 to 18.00 weekdays with Saturday working from 09.00 - 13.00 hours (relatively quiet construction activities could be carried out outside these hours, subject to prior agreement and strict controls). • Use modem, silenced and well-maintained equipment conforming to applicable EU Directives. • Shut down equipment when not in use, where practicable. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 16 • Site semi-static equipment such as generators, mixers, and compressors as far away as possible from sensitive locations and ensure that the orientation is the optimum for low noise. • Ensure that all Workers are given training with respect to minimizing noise and disturbance. Noise Acoustic Barriers will be installed as necessary on-site boundary equipment such as Heras panels so that they can be transported between work zones. A temporary timber hoarding may also be installed around long-term work locations such as site compounds, particularly where noise levels are anticipated to exceed 70dB(A) during 08:00 to 18:00 Monday to Friday. 11.2 Vibration Management Vibration exposure is expected to be negligible on the proposed but nonetheless, GEDA Construction shall comply with NRA construction vibration criterion for protection of buildings : Maximum Permissible Construction Noise Levels at the Facade of Dwellings during Construction (NRA, 2004): • 8 mm/s (vibration frequency <10Hz) • 12.5mm/s (vibration frequency 10 to 50Hz) • 20 mm/s (vibration frequency >50 Hz) • 2.5mm/s (tolerable level) 11.3 Dust Management Dust may be emitted from a number of site activities on the Tully Residential Scheme project including plant and vehicle movements between work locations, cutting of materials such as pipework, and stockpiling of excavated spoil. Where possible, GEDA Construction will reduce dust emissions at source by: • using appropriate tools for cutting with built in dust suppression, • limiting stockpiling and selecting appropriate locations when stockpiling is required, • using localised dust suppression to dampen down dusty atmospheres such as traffic routes with water as appropriate. Special attention will be given when using water for dust suppression, due to the increased risk of surface water runoff. 12. Resources GEDA Construction have developed and implemented a Sustainability Procurement Policy to increase the level of responsible and sustainably sourced materials being purchased by the Company. This includes reused and recycled materials. We actively encourage local companies within the Monaghan Town area to compete for work. The Company is currently implementing procedures to ensure we can provide Monaghan County Council with “Chain of Custody” documentation for sustainability schemes such as FSC for Timber. We work closely with our Buyers, Quantity Surveyors and Site Teams to reduce the amount of over ordering within the Company. We ensure suitable storage provisions for all materials to reduce damage caused through weather or misuse. The Site Plan will highlight the location for material storage on site. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 17 13. Landscaping Works McElwaine Landscape Architects have produced a landscape management plan (Figure 7) entitled “2412-MLA-XX-XX-RP-L-9020-P01” on behalf of GEDA Construction, to include planting schedules and landscape specifications. Open amenity space areas will be provided to the centre of the site and along the southern boundary, consisting of extensive species-rich grass areas, close-mown grass areas for general amenity. The central open space will also be home to a formal play are a, designed by others / play specialist. Upon chemical testing and subject to approval through the soil generic assessment criteria for residential plant uptake, soil will be reused within these open spaces and residential gardens to further minimise off-site waste. If this material is unsuitable for reuse, then clean imported topsoil will be imported into the project subject to testing clearance. Figure 7- Proposed Landscape Plan 14. Biodiversity & Ecology The proposed Tully Residential scheme is situated in the townland of Tully, approximately 0.5 kilometers southeast of Monaghan town centre, covers an area of circa. 2.1 hectares and is currently utilized for grazing sheep / cattle. It is encircled by native species hedges on its northern, eastern and western sides, while the southern boundary is marked by timber fences and walls. Several housing estates bound the site. Manor Wood to the north, Glenview Drive to the east and Tully Estate to the south. Beyond the western boundary is grazing lands. The current site is considered to be of low ecological value but mitigation measures will still be installed by the project team as detailed in sections 14.1 to 14.3 below. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 18 14.1 Natura 2000 Designated Sites Tully Residential Scheme is located circa 13km from “Slieve Beagh SPA” (Figure 8) designated under the EU Birds Directive and 18km from “Kilroosky Lough SAC” (Figure 9), designated under the EU Habitats Directive. Due to the distance between the Tully scheme and designated sites, it is anticipated that the impact to Natura 2000 will be extremely low. Figure 8- Slieve Beagh SPA proximity to proposed scheme (red box) Figure 9- Kilroosky Lough Cluster SAC proximity to proposed scheme (red box) RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 19 14.2 Local Areas of Ecological Importance A proposed Natural Heritage Area “Wrights Wood” is located circa 1.5km away from the proposed scheme. Other local areas of ecological importance include Convent Lake (circa 350m), Mullaghmatt Forest (circa 600m) and Rossmore Forest (circa 800m), all of which should not be significantly impacted by the proposed residential works due to the mitigation measure outlined within this CEMP. Figure 10- Wrights Wood proposed NHA proximity to proposed scheme (red box) 14.3 Protection of Trees The Wildlife Amendment Act 2000 (S.46.1) stipulates that it is an offence to cut, grub, burn or destroy any vegetation on uncultivated land or such growing in any hedge or ditch from the first of March to the 31st of August. Within the project landscape plan “2412-MLA-XX-XX-RP-L-9020-P01”, tree removal is expected along the main access road into the proposed site only (Figure 11). Figure 11- Proposed Tree removal for the scheme (red circles) RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 20 All other trees/hedgerows are to be retained and protected in accordance with BS 5837:2012, Trees in relation to design, demolition & construction. GEDA Construction will ensure that required tree removal will be carried outside of the breeding season. In particular, removal during the peak-breeding season (April-June inclusive) will be avoided on the Tully Residential Scheme. 15. Soils, Geology and Hydrogeology HANMAR Site Investigation Services conducted a ground investigation report entitled “23-102 Report Proposed Development at Tully Co Monaghan”, in November 2023 to explore current ground conditions on the proposed scheme. The initial scope of the investigation (Figure 12) included: • 4 No. rotary percussion boreholes with continuous sampling and SPTs in order to establish the rock, soil and groundwater conditions beneath the site. • 21 No. Dynamic Probes in order to establish geotechnical properties of the subsoils. • 4 No. Trial Pits in order to establish the soil and groundwater conditions beneath the site. • 1 No. infiltration tests in order to establish geotechnical properties of the subsoils. Figure 12 – Ground Investigation Map for proposed scheme 15.1 Investigation Results • Topsoil cover between 0-0.6m within borehole logs. • No Made Ground was encountered within the boreholes BH 01 – 03 during excavations. • Glacial deposits were established within all boreholes, consisting of firm to stiff light brown slightly gravelly slightly sandy silty CLAY containing occasional smooth subrounded cobbles between 0.6m and 2.6m. • Slight flow of ground water was encountered within borehole BH 03 at 3.50m below existing ground level during excavation. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 21 16. Archaeology & Cultural Heritage GEDA Construction will consult with relevant parties for completion of an Archaeology Assessment prior to the construction phase of the Tully Residential scheme. If required, appropriate mitigation will be deployed to ensure archeological heritage is maintained in the Tully area. 17. Public Stakeholder Liaison GEDA Construction will engage and liaise with all project stakeholders involved/affiliated with the Tully project. We will issue monthly environmental update reports and liaise regularly with the following non- exhaustive list of bodies / organisations during the course of Contract; • The Employer, • The Employer’s Representative(s), • Operational and maintenance staff, • Local Monaghan County Council departments, • Any relevant Government Departments including the Environmental Protection Agency • Inland Fisheries Ireland, • Adjacent landowners / residents. GEDA Construction’s designated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Coordinator will engage with all outlined above. Our Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating all communications including information events, and all letter / mail drops (local residents). 17.1 Compliments and Complaints Procedure On the site hoarding, GEDA will display a QR code for compliments and complaints from members of the public. This procedure allows GEDA to receive compliments and complaints in a timely manner and respond accordingly. There is also a comments box at the site entrance for members of the public to submit handwritten feedback to the site team throughout the project. Compliments and Complaints are then taken and logged onto a software system so that reoccurring trends between GEDA projects can be reviewed. 18. Supply Chain GEDA Construction will operate a Supply Chain Charter for all approved suppliers and sub-contractors appointed to this project. A pre-qualification questionnaire will be completed by GEDA’s supply chain to ensure they can demonstrate adequate competency towards environmental standards. Once appointed, this CEMP will be communicated to all personnel on site via induction, toolbox talks and method statements for specific work packages. A Meet the Buyer event to inform local supply chain members of the opportunities associated with the Tully Residential Scheme will be arranged. RECEIVED: 29/10/2025 CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 22 19. Legislation & Other Requirements In accordance with our ISO14001 Environmental Management System, we have produced a Register of Environmental Legislation for the Republic of Ireland. Our Legal Register is available to all site teams, supply chain and further guidance is provided by GEDA’s Environmental Manager as required. Our Registers are updated regularly to ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable legis lation. GEDA will liaise with all applicable bodies (i.e., Monaghan County Council, Environmental Protection Agency etc.) to ensure compliance with legislation. 20.
