The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Ireland issued ‘Best Practice Guidelines for the Preparation of Resource & Waste Management Plans for Construction & Demolition Projects’ in 2021. These guidelines replace the previous 2006 guidelines issued by The National Construction and Demolition Waste Council (NCDWC) and the Department of the Environment, Heritage, and Local Government (DoEHLG) in 2006. The RWMP would be the replacement document for the Construction & Demolition Waste Management Plan. Further detail can be found in section 2. This plan will provide information necessary to ensure that the management of Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste at the site is undertaken in accordance with the current legal and industry standards including the Waste Management Act 1996 as amended and associated Regulations, Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992 as amended, Litter Pollution Act 1997 as amended and the National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy (NWMPCE) 2024 - 2030. In particular, this plan aims to ensure maximum recycling, reuse, and recovery of waste with diversion from landfill, wherever possible. It also seeks to provide guidance on the appropriate collection and transport of waste from the site to prevent issues associated with litter or more serious environmental pollution (e.g. contamination of soil and/or water). This RWMP includes information on the legal and policy framework for C&D waste management in Ireland, estimates of the type and quantity of waste to be generated by the proposed development and makes recommendations for management of different waste streams. The RWMP should be viewed as a live document and should be regularly revisited throughout a project’s lifecycle so that opportunities to maximise waste reduction / efficiencies are exploited throughout, and that data is collected on an ongoing basis so that it is as accurate as possible. Figure 1 - Site Location RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 5 2.0 CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION RESOURCE & WASTE MANAGEMENT IN IRELAND 2.1 National Level The Irish Government issued a policy statement in September 1998 known as ‘Changing Our Ways’, which identified objectives for the prevention, minimisation, reuse, recycling, recovery, and disposal of waste in Ireland. The target for C&D waste in this report was to recycle at least 50% of C&D waste within a five-year period (by 2003), with a progressive increase to at least 85% over fifteen years (i.e., 2013). In response to the Changing Our Ways report, a task force (Task Force B4) representing the waste sector of the already established Forum for the Construction Industry, released a report entitled ‘Recycling of Construction and Demolition Waste’ concerning the development and implementation of a voluntary construction industry programme to meet the Government’s objectives for the recovery of C&D waste. In September 2020, the Irish Government published a policy document outlining a new action plan for Ireland to cover the period of 2020-2025. This plan, ‘A Waste Action Plan for a Circular Economy’ (WAPCE), priorities waste prevention, resource maximisation, and consistency across the waste sector. This policy was extended in 2023 with the introduction of the “National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy 2024-2030” This plan reflects revised EU material recovery targets and underscores Ireland’s dedication to transitioning towards a circular economy. As a statutory document, the plan is rooted in both national and EU waste legislation, aligning with strategic vision entails reimagining our waste management approaches, steering towards a ‘circular economy’ paradigm where resources are extensively reused or recycled, thereby minimizing overall waste generation. The plan specifically aims to “prioritize waste prevention and circularity in the construction and demolition sector to diminish the resources destined for waste capture. One of the first actions to be taken was the development of the Whole of Government Circular Economy Strategy 2022 - 2023 ‘Living More, Using Less’ (2021) to set a course for Ireland to transition across all sectors and at all levels of Government toward circularity and was issued in December 2021. It is anticipated that the Strategy will be updated in full every 18 months to 2 years. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Ireland issued ‘Best Practice Guidelines for the Preparation of Resource & Waste Management Plans for Construction & Demolition Projects’ in November 2021. These guidelines replace the previous 2006 guidelines issued by The National Construction and Demolition Waste Council (NCDWC) and the Department of the Environment, Heritage, and Local Government (DoEHLG) in 2006. The guidelines provide a practical approach which is informed by best practice in the prevention and management of C&D wastes and resources from design to construction of a project, including consideration of the deconstruction of a project. These guidelines have been followed in the preparation of this document and include the following elements: • Predicted C&D wastes and procedures to prevent, minimise, recycle, and reuse wastes. • Design teams’ roles and approach. • Relevant EU, national and local waste policy, legislation, and guidelines. • Waste disposal/recycling of C&D wastes at the site. • Provision of training for Resource Waste Manager (RM) and site crew. • Details of proposed record keeping system. • Details of waste audit procedures and plan; and • Details of consultation with relevant bodies i.e., waste recycling companies, Local Authority, etc. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 6 Section 3 of the Guidelines identifies thresholds above which there is a requirement for the preparation of a RWMP for developments. The new guidance classifies developments on a two-tiered system. Developments which do not exceed any of the following thresholds may be classed as Tier 1 development: • New residential development of less than 10 dwellings. • Retrofit of 20 dwellings or less. • New commercial, industrial, infrastructural, institutional, educational, health and other developments with an aggregate floor area less than 1,250m2. • Retrofit of commercial, industrial, infrastructural, institutional, educational, health and other developments with an aggregate floor area less than 2,000m2; and • Demolition projects generating in total less than 100m3 in volume of C&D waste. A development which exceeds one or more of these thresholds is classed as Tier-2 projects. In accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) “Best Practice Guidelines for the Preparation of Resource & Waste Management Plans for Construction & Demolition Projects” (2021), this development is classified as a Tier 1 project, as it comprises: • Construction of a new maintenance shed with a proposed gross floor area of 289.83 m2. While Tier 1 developments are subject to reduced reporting thresholds, this Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) has been prepared in full to: • Support the planning application. • Demonstrate compliance with the Waste Management Act 1996 (as amended). • Align with the National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy 2024–2030; and • Ensure best practice waste prevention, reuse, recycling and recovery principles are implemented. This RWMP will operate as a live document throughout the project lifecycle. Other guidelines followed in the preparation of this report include ‘Construction and Demolition Waste Management – a handbook for Contractors and Site Managers,’ published by FÁS and the Construction Industry Federation in 2002 and the previous guidelines, ‘Best Practice Guidelines for the Preparation of Waste Management Plans for Construction and Demolition Projects’ (2006). These guidance documents are considered to define best practice for C&D projects in Ireland and describe how C&D projects are to be undertaken such that environmental impacts and risks are minimised and maximum levels of waste recycling are achieved. 2.2 Regional Level The proposed development is located in the Local Authority area of Monaghan County Council (MCC). The Eastern- Midlands Region Waste Management Plan 2015-2021 is the regional waste management plan for the MCC area published in May 2015. The EMR Waste Management Plan 2015 – 2021 has been superseded as of March 2024 by the National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy (NWMPCE) 2024 - 2030 The NWCPCE sets the ambition of the plan to have a 0% total waste growth per person over the life of the Plan with an emphasis on non-household wastes including waste from commercial activities and the construction and demolition sector. This plan seeks to influence sustainable consumption and prevent the generation of waste, improve the capture of materials to optimise circularity, and enable compliance with policy and legislation. The national plan sets out the following strategic targets for waste management in the country that are relevant to the development: RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 7 Proposed National Targets • 1A. (Residual Municipal Waste) 6% Reduction in Residual Municipal Waste per person by 2030 • 1B. (Construction Materials) 12% Reduction in C&D Waste by 2030. • 2A. (Materials Compliance Recycling) 90% of Material in Compliance in the Dry Recycling Bin • 2B. (Material Compliance Residual) 10% per annum increase in Material Compliance in the residual bin. (90% by the end of 2030) • 3A. (Reuse of Materials) 20kg Per person / year – Reuse of materials like cloths or furniture to prevent waste. The Monaghan County Development Plan 2025-2031 sets out a number of policies for Monaghan Town areas, in line with the objectives of the regional waste management plan. Waste objectives with a particular relevance to the proposed development are: Waste Management Policies & Objectives • WMO 1 To implement and support the strategic objectives of the National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy 2024-2030 and any new or updated/subsequent versions. • WMO 2 To implement the provisions of the Litter Management Plan 2021 – 2023 and any new or updated/subsequent versions. • WMO 3 To apply the ‘Polluter Pays’ Principle, proximity principle, and the precautionary principle in respect of all waste management activities. • WMO 4 To encourage best environmental practice in all agricultural, industry, business and local authority activities. • WMO 5 To support the circular and bioeconomy through the efficient use of resources and to support any development proposals which contribute to this concept. • WMO 6 To support the minimisation of waste creation and promote a practice of reduce, reuse and recycle where possible, and to safeguard the environment by seeking to ensure that residual waste is disposed of appropriately. • WMO 7 To continue to fulfil the duties of the Council under the Waste Management (Certification of Historic Unlicensed Waste Disposal and Recovery Activity) Regulations 2008 (S.I. No 524 of 2008), including those in relation to the identification and registration, authorisation and subsequent remediation of closed landfills. • WMO 8 To require that treatment/management of any contaminated material shall comply as appropriate with the Waste Management Act 1996 (waste licence, waste facility permit) and under the Environmental Protection Act 1992 (Industrial Emissions licensing, in particular the First Schedule, Class 11 Waste). • WMO 9 To ensure that all new waste management infrastructure is sited in accordance with the provisions of the Waste Management Infrastructure Guidance for Siting Waste Management Facilities included within the National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy 2024-2030. • WMO 10 To have regard to the National Enforcement Priorities in the area of waste enforcement. • WMP 11 To remediate or mitigate all undeveloped, contaminated sites to internationally accepted standards prior to redevelopment. • WMO 12 To promote the sustainable management of poultry and other agricultural wastes through renewable energy facilities to reduce nutrient runoff, improve water quality, minimise greenhouse gas emissions, and support energy generation, while ensuring the protection of local and water resources. A RWMP, as a minimum, should include provision for the management of all construction & demolition waste arising on site, and make provision for the re-use of said material and/or the recovery or disposal of this waste to authorised facilities by authorised collectors. Where appropriate, excavated material from development sites should be reused on the subject site. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 8 2.3 Legislative Requirements The primary legislative instruments that govern waste management in Ireland and applicable to the project are: • Waste Management Act 1996 (No. 10 of 1996) as amended. • Environmental Protection Act 1992 (No. 7 of 1992) as amended. • Litter Pollution Act 1997 (No. 12 of 1997) as amended. • Planning and Development Act 2000 (No. 30 of 2000) as amended. One of the guiding principles of European waste legislation, which has in turn been incorporated into the Waste Management Act 1996 - 2001 and subsequent Irish legislation, is the principle of “Duty of Care”. This implies that the waste producer is responsible for waste from the time it is generated through until its legal recycling, recovery, or disposal (including its method of disposal). As it is not practical in most cases for the waste producer to physically transfer all wa ste from where it is produced to the final destination, waste contractors will be employed to physically transport waste to the final destination. Following on from this is the concept of “Polluter Pays” whereby the waste producer is liable to be prosecuted for pollution incidents, which may arise from the incorrect management of waste produced, including the actions of any contractors engaged (e.g. for transportation and disposal/recovery/recycling of wa ste. It is therefore imperative that the client ensures that the waste contractors engaged by construction contractors are legally compliant with respect to waste transportation, recycling, recovery, and disposal. This includes the requirement that a contractor handle, transport, and recycle/recover/dispose of waste in a manner that ensures that no adverse environmental impacts occur as a result of any of these activities. A collection permit to transport waste must be held by each waste contractor which is issued by the National Waste Collection Permit Office (NWCPO). Waste receiving facilities must also be appropriately permitted or licensed. Operators of such facilities cannot receive any waste, unless in possession of a Certificate of Registration (COR) or Waste Facility Permit granted by the relevant Local Authority under the Waste Management (Facility Permit & Registration) Regulations 2007 and Amendments or a waste or IED licence granted by the EPA. The COR/permit/licence held will specify the type and quantity of waste able to be received, stored, sorted, recycled, recovered, and/or disposed of at the specified site.

RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 10 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 3.1 Location, Size and Scale of the Development The application site comprises approximately 0.910 hectares and contains an existing modular staff buildings and storage shed extension both to be retained. It is situated along the Tullynaskeagh West, south of Carrickmacross town. The main route of access is along the Tullynaskeagh West Road. Figure 3.1 below shows the site layout and Figure 3.2 displays elevations & sections. The predominant land-use surrounding the site consists of the low-density urban fabric of Carrickmacross Town (predominantly residential, commercial and amenity areas). The dominant habitats associated with these areas include buildings and artificial surfaces and amenity grasslands. In the rural areas beyond Carrickmacross, agriculture is the dominant land use and improved / semi-improved agricultural grasslands are the dominant habitats. Other habitats represented in the rural lands around Carrickmacross include wet grasslands, pockets of woodlands and scrub, hedgerows, treelines and watercourses. The development description is as follows: “The permission for a development consisting of the retention of modular staff building and storage shed extension, construction of vehicle maintenance shed, connections to existing services and all associated site works. at Magheross Carrickmacross County Monaghan”.

It is proposed to import soil into development site. During the construction phase there may be a surplus of building materials, such as timber off cuts, broken concrete blocks, cladding, plastics, metals, and tiles generated. There may also be excess concrete during construction which will need to be disposed of. Plastic and cardboard waste from packaging and supply of materials will also be generated. Waste will also be generated from construction workers e.g., organic/food waste, dry mixed RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 12 recyclables (wastepaper, newspaper, plastic bottles, packaging, aluminium cans, tins, and Tetra Pak cartons), mixed non- recyclables and potentially sewage sludge from temporary welfare facilities provided onsite during the construction phase. Waste printer/toner cartridges, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and waste batteri es may also be generated infrequently from site offices. 3.3 Potentially Hazardous Wastes to be Produced. 3.3.1 Contaminated Soil In the event that any contaminated material is encountered, it will need to be segregated from clean/inert material, tested, and classified as either non-hazardous or hazardous in accordance with the EPA publication entitled ‘Waste Classification: List of Waste & Determining if Waste is Hazardous or Non-Hazardous’ using the HazWaste Online application (or similar approved classification method). The material will then need to be classified as clean, inert, non -hazardous, or hazardous in accordance with the EC Council Decision 2003/33/EC, which establishes the criteria for the acceptance of waste at landfills. 3.3.2 Fuel/Oils As fuels and oils are classed as hazardous materials, any on-site storage of fuel/oil, all storage tanks and all draw-off points will be bunded (or stored in double-skinned tanks) and located in secure area of the site. Provided that these requirements are adhered to, and site crew are trained in the appropriate refuelling techniques, it is not expected that there will be any fuel/oil wastage at the site. 3.3.3 Other known Hazardous Substances Paints, glues, adhesives, and other known hazardous substances will be stored in designated areas. They will generally be present in small volumes only and associated waste volumes generated will be kept to a minimum. Wastes will be stored in appropriate receptacles pending collection by an authorised waste contractor. In addition, WEEE (containing hazardous components), printer toner/cartridges, batteries (Lead, Ni-Cd or Mercury) and/or fluorescent tubes and other mercury containing waste may be generated during construction activities. These wastes (if encountered) will be stored in appropriate receptacles in designated areas of the site pending collection by an authorised waste contractor. In the event that hazardous soil, or historically deposited hazardous waste is encountered during the work, the contractor must notify Monaghan County Council, Environmental Enforcement Section, and provide a Hazardous/Contaminated Soil Management Plan, to include estimated tonnages, description of location, any relevant mitigation, destination for authorised disposal/treatment, in addition to information on the authorised waste collectors. All asbestos containing materials will be safely removed and disposed of by a licensed specialist contractor in advance of any general demolition works, in accordance with statutory requirements and the approved method statement. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 13 4.0 KEY MATERIALS & QUANTITIES 4.1 Project Resource Targets Project specific resource and waste management targets for the site have not yet been set, and this information will be updated for these targets once these targets have been confirmed by the client. However, it is expected for projects of this nature that a minimum of 70% of waste is fully re-used, recycled, or recovered. Target setting will inform the setting of project-specific benchmarks to track target progress. Typical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that may be used to set targets include (as per guidelines): • Weight (tonnes) or Volume (m3) of waste generated per construction value. • Weight (tonnes) or Volume (m3) of waste generated per construction floor area (m2). • Fraction of resource reused on site. • Fraction of resource notified as by-product. • Fraction of waste segregated at source before being sent off-site for recycling/recovery; and • Fraction of waste recovered, fraction of waste recycled, or fraction of waste disposed. 4.2 Main C&D Waste Categories The main non-hazardous and hazardous waste streams that could be generated by the construction activities at a typical site are shown in Table 4.1. The List of Waste (LoW) code (as effected from 1 June 2015) (also referred to as the European Waste Code or EWC) for each waste stream is also shown. Table 4.1 Typical waste types generated and EWCs (individual waste types may contain hazardous substances) Waste Material LoW Code Concrete 17 01 01 Bricks 17 01 02 Tiles and ceramics 17 01 03 Wood 17 02 01-03 Glass 17 02 02 Plastic 17 02 03 Bituminous mixtures, coal tar, and tarred products 17 03 02 Copper, Bronze, Brass 17 04 01 Aluminium 17 04 02 Lead 17 04 03 Zinc 17 04 04 Iron & steel 17 04 05 Tin 17 04 06 Mixed metals 17 04 07 Soil and Stones 17 05 04 Gypsum-based construction material 17 08 02 Mixed C&D waste 17 09 04 RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 14 5.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT 5.1 Demolition Waste Generation The proposed development will not involve any demolition work. 5.2 Construction Waste Generation Table 5.2 shows the breakdown of C&D waste types produced on a typical site based on data from the EPA National Waste Reports, the GMIT and other research reports.

Where the on-site segregation of certain waste types is not practical, off-site segregation will be conducted. There will be skips and receptacles provided to facilitate segregation at source where feasible. All waste receptacles leaving site will be covered or enclosed. The appointed waste contractor will collect and transfer the wastes as receptacles are filled. There are numerous waste contractors in the MCC Region that provide this service. All waste arisings will be handled by an approved waste contractor holding a current waste collection permit. All waste arisings requiring disposal off-site will be reused, recycled, recovered, or disposed of at a facility holding the appropriate registration, permit, or licence, as required. Written records will be maintained by the contractor(s) detailing the waste arising throughout the C&D phases, the classification of each waste type, waste collection permits for all waste contactors who collect waste from the site and COR/permit or licence for the receiving waste facility for all waste removed off site for appropriate reuse, recycling, recovery and/or disposal Dedicated bunded storage containers will be provided for RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 15 hazardous wastes which may arise such as batteries, paints, oils, chemicals etc, if required. The management of the main waste streams is outlined as follows: Soil, Stone, Gravel & Clay The waste hierarchy states that the preferred option for waste management is prevention and minimisation of waste, followed by preparing for reuse and recycling / recovery, energy recovery (i.e. incineration) and, least favoured of all, disposal. The excavations are required to facilitate construction works so the preferred option (prevention and minimisation) cannot be accommodated for the excavation phase. When material is removed off-site it could be reused as a by-product (and not as a waste). If this is done, it will be done 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. Excavated material should 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. The next option (beneficial reuse) may be appropriate for the excavated material, pending environmental testing to classify the material as hazardous or non-hazardous in accordance with the EPA Waste Classification – List of Waste & Determining if Waste is Hazardous or Non-Hazardous publication. Clean inert material may be used as fill material in other construction projects or engineering fill for waste licensed sites. Beneficial reuse of surplus excavation material as engineering fill may be subject to further testing to determine if materials meet the specific engineering standards for their proposed end use. Any nearby sites requiring clean fill/capping material will be contacted to investigate reuse opportunities for clean and inert material. If any of the material is to be reused on another site as a by-product (and not as a waste), this will be done in accordance with Article 27. 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 Act 1996 as amended, the Waste Management (Collection Permit) Regulations 2007 as amended and the Waste Management (Facility Permit & Registration) Regulations 2007 as amended. Once all available beneficial reuse options have been exhausted, the options of recycling and recovery at waste permitted and licensed sites will be considered. In the event that contaminated material is encountered and subsequently classified as hazardous, this material will be stored separately to any non-hazardous material. It will require off-site treatment at a suitable facility or disposal abroad via Transfrontier Shipment of Wastes (TFS). Bedrock While it is not envisaged that bedrock will be encountered, if bedrock is encountered, it is anticipated that it will not be crushed on site. Any excavated rock is expected to be removed off- site for appropriate reuse, recovery and / or disposal. Silt & Sludge During the construction phase, silt and petrochemical interception will be carried out on runoff and pumped water from site works, where required. Sludge and silt will then be collected by a suitably licensed contractor and removed offsite. Concrete Blocks, Bricks, Tiles & Ceramics The majority of concrete blocks, bricks, tiles, and ceramics generated as part of the construction works are expected to be clean, inert material and will be recycled, where possible. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 16 Hard Plastic As hard plastic is a highly recyclable material, much of the plastic generated will be primarily from material off cuts. All recyclable plastic will be segregated and recycled, where possible. Timber Timber that is uncontaminated, i.e. free from paints, preservatives, glues etc., will be disposed of in a separate skip and recycled off-site. Metal Metals will be segregated where practical and stored in skips. Metal is highly recyclable and there are numerous companies that will accept these materials. Plasterboard There are currently a number of recycling services for plasterboard in Ireland. Plasterboard from the construction phases will be stored in a separate skip, pending collection for recycling. The site manager will ensure that oversupply of new plasterboard is carefully monitored to minimise waste. Glass Glass materials will be segregated for recycling, where possible. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Any WEEE will be stored in dedicated covered cages/receptacles/pallets pending collection for recycling. Other Recyclables Where any other recyclable wastes such as cardboard and soft plastic are generated, these will be segregated at source into dedicated skips and removed off-site. Non-Recyclable Waste C&D waste which is not suitable for reuse or recovery, such as polystyrene, some plastics and some cardboards, will be placed in separate skips or other receptacles. Prior to removal from site, the non-recyclable waste skip/receptacle will be examined by a member of the waste team (see Section 9.0) to determine if recyclable materials have been placed in there by mistake. If this is the case, efforts will be made to determine the cause of the waste not being segregated correctly and recyclable waste will be removed and placed into the appropriate receptacle. Other Hazardous Wastes On-site storage of any hazardous wastes produced (i.e. contaminated soil if encountered and/or waste fuels) will be kept to a minimum, with removal off-site organised on a regular basis. Storage of all hazardous wastes on-site will be undertaken so as to minimise exposure to on-site personnel and the public and to also minimise potential for environmental impacts. Hazardous wastes will be recovered, wherever possible, and failing this, disposed of appropriately. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 17 5.4 Tracking and Documentation Procedures for Off-Site Waste All waste will be documented prior to leaving the site. Waste will be weighed by the contractor, either by weighing mechanism on the truck or at the receiving facility. These waste records will be required to be maintained on site. All infilling of site will require to be logged similar to it as if it was to leave the site. All movement of waste and the use of waste contractors will be undertaken in accordance with the Waste Management Acts 1996 - 2011, Waste Management (Collection Permit) Regulations 2007 as amended and Waste Management (Facility Permit & Registration) Regulations 2007 and amended. This includes the requirement for all waste contractors to have a waste collection permit issued by the NWCPO. The nominated project waste manager (see Section 10.0) will maintain a copy of all waste collection permits on-site. If the waste is being transported to another site, a copy of the Local Authority waste COR/permit or EPA Waste/IE Licence for that site will be provided to the nominated project waste manager (see Section 10.0). If the waste is being shipped abroad, a copy of the Transfrontier Shipping (TFS) notification document will be obtained from MCC (as the relevant authority on behalf of all local authorities in Ireland) and kept on-site along with details of the final destination (COR, permits, licences etc.). A receipt from the final destination of the material will be kept as part of the on-site waste management records. All information will be entered in a waste management recording system to be maintained on site. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 18 6.0 DESIGN APPROACH The client and the design team have integrated the ‘Best Practice Guidelines for the Preparation of Resource & Waste Management Plans for Construction & Demolition Projects’ guidelines into the design workshops, to help review processes, identify, and evaluate resource reduction measures and investigate the impact on cost, time, quality, buildability, second life and management post demolition and construction. Further details on these design principles can be found within a forementioned planning design statement by Smith & Associates Architects. The design team have undertaken the design process in line with the international best practice principles to firstly prevent wastes, reuse where possible and thereafter sustainably reduce and recover materials. The below sections have been the focal point of the design process and material selections and will continue to be analysed and investigated throughout the design process and when selecting material. The approaches presented are based on international principles of optimising resources and reducing waste on construction projects through: • Prevention • Reuse • Recycling • Green Procurement Principles • Off-Site Construction • Materials Optimisation; and • Flexibility and Deconstruction 6.1 Designing for Prevention, Reuse and Recycling Undertaken at the outset and during project feasibility and evaluation the Client and Design Team considered: • Establishing the potential for any reusable site assets (buildings, structures, equipment, materials, soils, etc.). • The potential for refurbishment and refit of existing structures or buildings rather than demolition and new build. • Assessing any existing buildings on the site that can be refurbished either in part or wholly to meet the Client requirements; and • Enabling the optimum recovery of assets on site. 6.2 Designing for Green Procurement Waste prevention and minimisation pre-procurement have been discussed and will be further discussed in this section. The Design Team will discuss proposed design solutions, encourage innovation in tenders, and incentivise competitions to recognise sustainable approaches. They will also discuss options for packaging reduction with the main Contractor and subcontractors/suppliers using measures such as ‘Just-in-Time’ delivery and use ordering procedures that avoid excessive waste. The Green procurement extends from the planning stage into the detailed design and tender stage and will be an ongoing part of the long-term design and selection process for this development. 6.3 Designing for Materials Optimisation During Construction To ensure manufacturers and construction companies adopt lean production models, including maximising the reuse of materials onsite. This helps to reduce the environmental impacts associated with transportation of materials and from waste management activities. This includes investigating the use of standardised sizes for certain materials to help reduce the number of offcuts produced on site, focusing on promotion and development of off-site manufacture. 6.4 Designing for Flexibility and Deconstruction Design flexibility has and will be investigated throughout the design process to ensure that where possible products (including buildings) only contain materials that can be recycled and are designed to be easily disassembled. Material efficiency is being considered for the duration and end of life of a building project to produce; flexible, adaptable spaces that enable a resource-efficient, low-waste future change of use; durability of materials and how they can be recovered effectively when maintenance and refurbishment are undertaken and during disassembly/deconstruction. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 19 7.0 ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES The Best Practice Guidelines on the Preparation of Resource Waste Management Plans for Construction Projects promotes that a RM should be appointed. The RM may be performed by number of different individuals over the life cycle of the Project; however, it is intended to be a reliable person chosen from within the Planning/Design/Contracting Team, who is technically competent and appropriately trained, who takes the responsibility to ensure that the objectives and measures within the Project RWMP are complied with. The RM is assigned the requisite authority to meet the objective and obligations of the RWMP. The role will include the important activities of conducting waste checks/audits and adopting construction and demolition methodology that is designed to facilitate maximum reuse and/or recycling of waste. 7.1 Role of the Client Advisory Team The Client Advisory Team or Design Team is formed of architects, consultants, quantity surveyors, and engineers and is responsible for: • Drafting and maintaining the RWMP through the design, planning, and procurement phases of the project. • Appointing a RM to track and document the design process, inform the Design Team, and prepare the RWMP. • Including details and estimated quantities of all projected waste streams with the support of environmental consultants/scientists. This should also include data on waste types (e.g. waste characterisation data, contaminated land assessments, site investigation information) and prevention mechanisms (such as by- products) to illustrate the positive circular economy principles applied by the Design Team. • Managing and valuing the demolition work with the support of quantity surveyors. • Handing over of the RWMP to the selected Contractor upon commencement of construction of the development, in a similar fashion to how the safety file is handed over to the Contractor. • Working with the Contractor as required to meet the performance targets for the project. 7.2 Future Role of the Contractor The future construction Contractors have not yet been decided upon for this RWMP. However, once selected they will have major roles to fulfil. They will be responsible for: • Preparing, implementing, and reviewing the RWMP throughout the construction phase (including the management of all suppliers and sub-contractors) as per the requirements of these guidelines. • Identifying a designated and suitably qualified RM who will be responsible for implementing the RWMP. • Identifying all hauliers to be engaged to transport each of the resources / wastes off-site. • Implementing waste management policies whereby waste materials generated on site are to be segregated as far as practicable. • Applying for the appropriate waste permit to crush concrete onsite. • Identifying all destinations for resources taken off-site. As above, any resource that is legally classified as a ‘waste’ must only be transported to an authorised waste facility. • End-of-waste and by-product notifications addressed with the EPA where required. • Clarification of any other statutory waste management obligations, which could include on -site processing. • Full records of all resources (both wastes and other resources) will be maintained for the duration of the project; and Preparing a RWMP Implementation Review Report at project handover. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 20 8.0 ESTIMATED COST OF WASTE MANAGEMENT An outline of the costs associated with different aspects of waste management is provided below. The total cost of C&D waste management will be measured and will take into account handling costs, storage costs, transportation costs, revenue from rebates and disposal costs. 8.1 Reuse By reusing materials on site, there will be a reduction in the transport and recycle/recovery/disposal costs associated with the requirement for a waste contractor to take the material off-site. Clean and inert soils, gravel, stones etc. which cannot be reused on site will be used as access roads or capping material for landfill sites etc. This material is often taken free of charge or a reduced fee for such purposes, reducing final waste disposal costs. 8.2 Recycling Salvageable metals will earn a rebate which can be offset against the costs of collection and transportation of the skips. Clean uncontaminated cardboard and certain hard plastics can also be recycled. Waste contractors will charge considerably less to take segregated wastes, such as recyclable waste, from a site than mixed waste. Timber can be recycled as chipboard. Again, waste contractors will charge considerably less to take segregated wastes such as timber from a site than mixed waste. 8.3 Disposal Landfill charges are currently at around €130 - €150 per tonne which includes a €85 (plus the separate €10 waste recovery levy) per tonne landfill levy specified in the Waste Management (Landfill Levy) Regulations 2015. In addition to disposal costs, waste contractors will also charge a collection fee for skips. Collection of segregated C&D waste usually costs less than municipal waste. Specific C&D waste contractors take the waste off-site to a licensed or permitted facility and, where possible, remove salvageable items from the waste stream before disposing of the remainder to landfill. Clean soil, rubble, etc. is also used as fill/capping material, wherever possible. 9.0 TRAINING PROVISIONS A member of the construction team will be appointed as the RM to ensure commitment, operational efficiency, and accountability in relation to waste management during the C&D phases of the development. 9.1 Resource Waste Manager Training and Responsibilities The nominated RM will be given responsibility and authority to select a waste team if required, i.e. members of the site crew that will aid them in the organisation, operation and recording of the waste management system implemented on site. The RM will have overall responsibility to oversee, record, and provide feedback to the client on everyday waste management at the site. Authority will be given to the Waste Manager to delegate responsibility to sub-contractors, where necessary, and to coordinate with suppliers, service providers, and sub-contractors to prioritise waste prevention and material salvage. The RM will be trained in how to set up and maintain a record keeping system, how to perform an audit and how to establish targets for waste management on site. The RM will also be trained in the best methods for segregation and RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 21 storage of recyclable materials, have information on the materials that can be reused on site and be knowledgeable in how to implement this RWMP. 9.2 Site Crew Training Training of site crew in relation to waste is the responsibility of the Waste Manager and, as such, a waste training program will be organised. A basic awareness course will be held for all site crew to outline the RWMP and to detail the segregation of waste materials at source. This may be incorporated with other site training needs such as general site induction, health and safety awareness and manual handling. This basic course will describe the materials to be segregated, the storage methods and the location of the Waste Storage Areas (WSAs). A sub-section on hazardous wastes will be incorporated into the training program, and the particular dangers of each hazardous waste will be explained. 10.0 TRACKING AND TRACING / RECORD KEEPING Records will be kept for all waste material which leaves the site, either for reuse on another site, recycling, or disposal. A recording system will be put in place to record the waste arisings on Site. A waste tracking log will be used to track each waste movement from the site. On exit from the site, the waste collection vehicle driver will stop at the site office and sign out as a visitor and provide the security personnel or RM with a waste docket (or Waste Transfer Form (WTF) for hazardous waste) for the waste load collected. At this time, the security personnel will complete and sign the Waste Tracking Register with the following information: • Date • Time • Waste Contractor • Company waste contractor appointed by, e.g. Contractor or subcontractor name. • Collection Permit No. • Vehicle Reg. • Driver Name • Docket No. • Waste Type • EWC / LoW The waste vehicle will be checked by security personnel or the RM to ensure it has the waste collection permit no. displayed and a copy of the waste collection permit in the vehicle before they are allowed to remove the waste from the site. The waste transfer dockets will be transferred to the RM on a weekly basis and can be placed in the Waste Tracking Log file. This information will be forwarded onto the MCC Waste Regulation Unit when requested. Each subcontractor that has engaged their own waste contractor will be required to maintain a similar waste tracking log with the waste dockets / WTF maintained on file and available for inspection on site by the main contractor as required. These subcontractor logs will be merged with the main waste log. Waste receipts from the receiving waste facility will also be obtained by the site contractor(s) and retained. A copy of the Waste Collection Permits, CORs, Waste Facility Permits and Waste Licences will be maintained on site at all times and will be periodically checked by the RM. Subcontractors who have engaged their own waste contractors, will provide the main contractor with a copy of the waste collection permits and COR / permit / licence for the receiving waste facilities and maintain a copy on file, available for inspection on site as required. RECEIVED: 12/06/2026 Resource & Waste Management Plan (RWMP) 22 11.0 OUTLINE WASTE AUDIT PROCEDURE 11.1 Responsibility for Waste Audit The appointed RM will be responsible for conducting a waste audit at the site during the C&D phase of the proposed Project. Contact details for the nominated RM will be provided to the MCC Waste Regulation Unit after the main contractor is appointed and prior to any material being removed from site. 11.2 Review of Records and Identification of Corrective Actions A review of all waste management costs and the records for the waste generated and transported off -site should be undertaken mid-way through the construction phase of the proposed Project. If waste movements are not accounted for, the reasons for this will be established in order to see if and why the record keeping system has not been maintained. The waste records will be compared with the established recovery / reuse / recycling targets for the site. Each material type will be examined, in order to see where the largest percentage waste generation is occurring. The waste management methods for each material type will be reviewed in order to highlight how the targets can be achieved. Upon completion of the C&D phase, a final report will be prepared, summarising the outcomes of waste management processes adopted and the total recycling / reuse / recovery figures for the development. 12.0 CONSULTATION WITH RELEVANT BODIES 12.1 Local Authority Once construction contractors have been appointed and have appointed waste contractors, and prior to removal of any C&D waste materials off-site, details of the proposed destination of each waste stream will be provided to the MCC Waste Regulation Unit. MCC will also be consulted, as required, throughout the excavation and construction phases in order to ensure that all available waste reduction, reuse, and recycling opportunities are identified and utilised and that compliant waste management practices are carried out. 12.2 Recycling / Salvage Companies The appointed waste contractor for the main waste streams managed by the construction contractors will be audited in order to ensure that relevant and up-to-date waste collection permits and facility registrations / permits / licences are held. In addition, information will be obtained regarding the feasibility of recycling each material, the costs of recycling / reclamation, the means by which the wastes will be collected and transported off-site, and the recycling / reclamation process each material will undergo off-site.
