IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS
implemented in the event of a spill, including initial response and containment,
notification of emergency services and relevant authorities (including Roads and
Maritime and EPA officers).
Biodiversity
Refer Landscape safeguards.
Consistent with the Biodiversity Guidelines – Protecting and Managing Biodiversity on
RTA Projects, and any specific requirements of management arrangements are to be
implemented to manage environmental risks associated with weeds, pest species and
pathogens. As a minimum that would include:
- Completion of a site weed assessment and, if necessary, based on the assessment
outcomes, a weed management plan;
- Implementation of appropriate weed control methods and weed disposal; and
- Implementation of appropriate hygiene protocols where there are potential or known
pathogen risk
-Preclearing surveys and supervision of tree removal should be undertaken by a suitably
qualified ecologist
- Tree protection measures are to be implemented in accordance with Australian
Standards to protect the trees to be retained in the vicinity of the works
Air quality
An Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) is to be prepared and implemented as part of
the CEMP. The AQMP would identify:
Potential sources of air pollution (such as dust, vehicles transporting waste, plant and
equipment) during construction;
Air quality management objectives consistent with any relevant published EPA and/or
OEH guidelines;
Mitigation and suppression measures is to be implemented, such as spraying or covering
exposed surfaces, provision of vehicle clean-down areas, covering of loads, street
cleaning, use of dust screens, maintenance of plant in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions;
Methods to manage work during strong winds or other adverse weather conditions;
A progressive rehabilitation strategy for exposed surfaces;
A monitoring program to assess compliance with the identified objectives and developed
in accordance with any relevant published EPA and / or DPE guidelines; and
Community notification and complaint handling procedures.
All sensitive receivers (e.g., Residences, and Educational Facility) likely to be
construction affected must be notified at least five days prior to commencement of any
work associated with the activity that may have an adverse impact on local air quality.
The notification must include details of the project; construction period and construction
hours; any recommended measures that can be implemented (e.g. window closure,
staying indoors, etc.), contact information for project management staff; complaint and
incident reporting; and how to obtain further information.
All personnel working on-site would receive training to ensure awareness of
requirements of the AQMP.
Consistent with the approved AQMP mitigation and suppression measures would be
implemented to protect local air quality.
Resource use and
waste management
A Waste Management Plan (WMP) is to be prepared and implemented as part of the
CEMP. It is to provide specific guidance on measures and controls to be implemented
to support minimising the amount of waste produced and appropriately handle and
dispose of unavoidable waste. It is to also address the importation of waste to the site
for use in undertaking the project.
The WMP would give effect to any management measures contained in any waste
assessment carried out for the project and include, but not necessarily be limited to:
