1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background

EnviroTech Pty. Ltd. was engaged by Abode Designs to conduct a Bulk Waste Management Plan at 45-52 Edward Street, Riverstone, NSW 2765 (hereafter referred to as the site). The investigation will accompany the development for a proposed material crushing facility.

The total area of investigation is approximately 2990 m2. A site inspection was carried out on 7 December 2017 which involved a visual assessment of the accessible areas of the site and surrounding areas. Details of the findings are presented within the body of this report, as well as an assessment of significance with regards to the findings of the investigation.

This report was completed in accordance with the Guidelines for Consultants Reporting on Contaminated Sites, NSW EPA, September 2000.

1.2 Legislative Requirements

The legislative framework for the report is based on guidelines that have been set out by the NSW Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) formerly the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) in the form of the following Acts/Regulations:

1. Protection of the Environment Operations Act (1997); 2. Protection of the Environment Operations Regulation (2008); 3. Contaminated Land Management Act (1998).

In addition, the following guidelines and technical documents have been reviewed and applied where applicable:

1. Guidelines for the NSW Site Auditor Scheme (NSW DEC, 2006). 2. Guidelines for Consultants Reporting on Contaminated Sites (NSW EPA, 2000). 3. Guidelines on the Investigation Levels for Soil and Groundwater, National Environmental

Protection Measure 1999, 2013 Amendment (NEPC, 2013). 4. Waste Classification Guidelines Part 1: Classifying Waste (NSW DECCW, 2014). 5. NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery (WARR) Strategy 2014-21

1.3 Context of report

4. SITE DESCRIPTION

4.1 Site inspection

On 7 December 2017, a site inspection was conducted by Envirotech consultant Simon Doberer. At the time of inspection, the site was predominately unoccupied and relatively well vegetated. At the south-western portion of the site there is a three-walled open brick structure.

4.2 Surrounding land use

The site is located within an industrial zone – IN1 General Industrial as outlined in the Blacktown Local Environmental Plan (2015) and is bordered by:

Roads to the immediate north and east;

Industrial allotments in all directions.

4.3 Topography

The site faces a south-eastern slope of approximately 8%.

4.4 Geology and Soils

The Department of Environment soil map shows the site occupying the Blacktown soil landscape which is characterised by gently undulating rises on Wianamatta Group shales. Local relief to 30m,

BULK WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 48-52 EDWARD STREET, RIVERSTONE, NSW 2765

slopes usually >5%. Broad rounded crests and ridges with gently inclined slopes. Cleared Eucalypt woodland and tall open-forest (dry schlerophyll forest).

Underlying soils are typically characterised by friable brownish black loam transitioning to strongly pedal, mottled brown light clay.

4.5 Surface Water Hydrology

No groundwater or distinct overland flow paths were noted during the investigation. Stormwater is likely to drain toward the north-western portion of the site following gradients.

4.6 National Waste Management Site Database

No records

5. RISK TO RECEPTORS

5.1 Potential Risks to Onsite Receptors

It is considered that:

There is a risk that contaminants associated with material crushing could penetrate the underlying soils.

5.2 Receptors and Pathways

5.2.1 Human Health

Human exposure to the potential contaminants identified is currently considered Moderate as:

The floor of the crushing facility will not be sealed enabling soil penetration of potential onsite contaminants.

5.2.2 Environmental Receptors

The closest sensitive receiving environment is a drainage tributary to Eastern Creek 570 m to the north west of the site.

5.2.3 Potential for Migration of Contaminants

The potential for contaminants to migrate is currently considered low as the facility is enclosed.

6. BULK WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.1 Background

The main objective of a bulk waste management plan is to detail the descriptions of waste and methods on how the receiving waste is managed whilst onsite in accordance with relevant guidelines. The goal of waste management is to improve the way we live and make sure that future generations enjoy the same or an improved quality of life. Bulk Waste Management Plans assist the Federal and State Government in achieving waste minimisation targets as set out in the NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery (WARR) Strategy 2014-21. The waste hierarchy (Figure 4) of waste management underpins the objectives of the WARR.

Figure 4: The waste hierarchy (NSW Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2014-21)

6.2 Aims and Objectives

Provide opportunity to maximise reuse and recycling of industrial generated waste

Encourage building design and construction techniques which minimise waste

Require source separation of materials and use of other design features which complement waste collection management services offered by council, private providers and other bodies

BULK WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 48-52 EDWARD STREET, RIVERSTONE, NSW 2765

6.3 Waste Stream

The site will receive uncrushed Virgin Excavated Natural Material (VENM) or Excavated Natural Material (ENM) along with concrete waste via truck transport. The estimated throughputs are outlined in Table 1. Table 1: Daily, weekly, and yearly maximum and average waste throughput.

Daily Max (Daily Average) Throughput (tonnes)

Weekly Max (Weekly Average) Throughput (tonnes)

Yearly Max (Yearly Average) Throughput (tonnes)

875 (250) 6125 (1730) 90 000 (90 000)

The waste will be stockpiled pre and post processing in piles estimated 250m2 with a height of 4m.

6.4 Waste Source

As advised by the client, waste is being sourced from the current earth works associated with infrastructure development such as tunnel and major road excavations from Sydney and surrounds. This waste will typically be sandstone type materials. Concrete will come from building demolition sites.

6.5 Waste Processing

The waste brought onsite will be processed by a concrete crusher into a size suitable for road base. The machine used will be the Mobirex Kleeman Evo-Line MR 230 Z EVO. Resource output based upon the typical daily average is approximately 250 t-day-1, which equates to 10.42 t-hr-1 over a 24-hour period. Operating at max performance resource output is expected to be 875 t-day-1, which equates to 36 t-hr-1 over a 24-hour period.

6.6 Residual Waste

Dust particles have been identified as a residual waste from the crushing process as well as reinforcing steel that comes out of any concrete. Dust particulates will be managed by a water misting system both as part of the crushing machine as well as roof mounted and standing misters. The misters will clump particulates dropping them to the floor of the facility. Reinforcing steel that is separated from concrete will be collected and transported to a steel recycling facility.

6.7 Non-conforming Waste

As advised by the client, there will not be any non-conforming waste.

11

BULK WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 48-52 EDWARD STREET, RIVERSTONE, NSW 2765

6.8 Waste Handling

Land based extraction will be certified and documented by a suitably trained professional. Trucks will be used for the import and export of the waste with loads weighed on a weighbridge located onsite within the facility (see plans in Appendix A). Incoming waste is to have a classification certificate and outbound product is to have a compliance certificate. Abode Designs is to record all receipts in a suitably backed up filing system. Stockpiled materials both pre and post processing are to be bunded to industry standard in order to prevent leaching.

6.9 NSW WARR Strategy Compliance

The VENM and concrete waste transported and processed onsite will be recycled and then reused as road base. This is consistent with the aims, objectives, and guidelines in the NSW WARR 2014-21 which highlights the preferential modes of waste management. The reuse of waste is the second most preferential waste management strategy. Residual reinforced steel removed from concrete will be collected and transported to a steel recycling plant which aligns with the third most preferential waste management strategy, recycling.

7. CONCLUSIONS

The site will process VENM and concrete waste into usable road base which aligns with the second and third most preferential waste management strategy in the waste management hierarchy. Residual reinforcing steel will be transported to a steel recycling facility. There will be no non-conforming waste. Based on the information and evidence collected, the Bulk Waste Management for the proposed development is consistent with the WARR Strategy 2014-21.
