The interagency report notes that North Cork Creameries failed to test wastewater treatment plant samples taken on 5 August and 6 August as required as a condition of their discharge licence. What explanation did they give for this? Is this omission unusual for North Cork Creameries? It sounds like the EPA is on site quite a lot and monitoring operations closely. Was this an anomaly?
