1 Overview The purpose of this Waste Management Plan is to outline the proposed method to deal with construction waste throughout the entire construction phase of the building from demolition and excavation through to building fitout, landscaping and handover. The method of dealing with construction waste is consistent throughout to ensure that our environmental obligations are being met. The plan outlines how we propose to achieve the project requirements.
2 Recycling Recycling is a vital means whereby Australia’s natural resources are conserved and efficiently utilised. FDC aim is to develop a waste management system centered on resource recovery and recycling.
2.1 Option 1: On-site Recycling
The efficiency of on-site recycling depends on the anticipated waste stream types and quantity along with space being available (and suitable) to house the bins required. The on-site separation of scrap metals such as aluminium, copper pipe and wire, lead and steel is viable. Bins will be identified clearly on sites to aid in the separation of materials. FDC will work together to reduce waste coming to site. Site conditions permitting separate on-site bins for cardboard and paper are also possible and FDC have committed to provide a paper bin for use on site for this purpose. FDC feel that off-site recycling is the more viable option for all other wastes.
2.2 Option 2: Off-site Recycling Off-site recycling is the most appropriate course of action for mixed waste streams and sites with minimum room or access difficulties. At the landfill and recycling facility, it is possible to sort and recycle wastes coming in. This sorting and recycling includes the recovery and production of the following materials: - Paper/cardboard Glass - Steel – OSI and Black Iron - Non-ferrous metals such as: lead, copper, electrical cable, brass and aluminium, all of which are sorted and sent to the appropriate processing plants. - Timber, such as formwork pallets, hardwood, oregon and the like are sorted for reuse with the remainder being processed to make woodchip. - Plasterboard and Gyprock are transformed into soil conditioners. Green waste is transformed into mulch. - Problem waste such as tree stumps and plastics are all processed or recycled to avoid the potential problems that wastes such as these cause at landfills. All hard-core materials such as bricks, mortar, concrete, dirt, soil, sand, tiles and stone are either stacked for reuse or reprocessed into high quality raw materials such as road base, aggregates for drainage, fill sand, soil and turf underlay etc.

3 Environmental Management and Compliance FDC offer a waste management service in accord with the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 and the Waste Minimisation and Management Act 1995. Clients of FDC are secure in the knowledge that their waste is being disposed of according to environmental protection legislation and the principles of ecologically sustainable development. FDC has in place, as a major part of our business, a materials recovery and recycling programme that exceeds the objectives of the waste minimisation and management legislation.
4 Legislation and Due Diligence 4.1 Legislation
The disposal of wastes in New South Wales is under the control of the Environmental Protection Authority. The EPA administers the Protection of the Environment Operations Act and associated legislation and regulations.
4.2 Due Diligence
Companies and individuals are required to act with due diligence in respect of the disposal of the waste they generate. Companies and individuals are exercising due diligence by using appropriate organisations to dispose of waste. Due diligence may be considered to be the legal opposite of negligence. If due diligence is not exercised then negligence may be considered to have occurred. Due diligence applies to both a requirement to act and to a failure to act, thus commission and omission of actions. Due diligence applies to companies, company Directors and employees. Due diligence means that companies and individuals have all the reasonable means to ensure that legal obligations have been met. For waste management, due diligence requires both the waste producer and the waste collector to mutually exercise:
a) Duty of care, and b) Duty of disclosure
5 Definitions of Waste
5.1 Wastes
Wastes are described by many different names and come in many different types i.e. industrial, commercial, building and demolition, clinical, solid, domestic, putrescible, non-putrescible, hazardous, household, inert, municipal and trade waste. They are defined for regulatory purposes in the Protection of the Environment Operations Act. For practical purposes, New South Wales has adopted a waste management hierarchy that prioritises ecological sustainable waste solutions. The hierarchy consists of:
1. Avoiding waste 2. Reusing materials 3. Recycling and reprocessing materials 4. Waste disposal
Project: Hardi Aged Care – Seven Hills - 250053 Project Revision Date: 2/08/2018 Revised 09/11/2017 Page 6 of 11
6 Waste Management Wastes need to be managed in order to comply with every aspect of the legislation covering wastes. The waste management service provided by FDC is a total waste management service. By engaging FDC to manage wastes, a waste generator has exercised complete due diligence. FDC assumes the responsibility and requirement for the correct collection, transport, storage and disposal of wastes. The waste management service of FDC covers all aspects of all wastes, a complete and thorough service to assist industry, a significant service that is keeping Australia clean.
7 Ecologically Sustainable Development Ecologically sustainable development as the fundamental tenant of Australian business stems from the Intergovernmental Agreement of the Environment between Australian Commonwealth, State, Territory and Local Governments on ecologically sustainable development made in May 1992. FDC fully endorses and is committed to the four principles which constitute ecologically sustainable development.
7.1 Principle 1: The Precautionary Principle For general hard wastes, there is a great deal of scientific certainty concerning their treatment, storage, transport and disposal. Such materials, in general, have been used by society for millennia. For special wastes, FDC applies the measures and procedures for handling and disposal required by NSW legislation. These measures and procedures are designed to ensure the known and suspected effects of such materials are controlled.
7.2 Principle 2: Inter-generational Equity
Resource recovery and recycling as carried out by FDC together with corresponding savings in fossil fuel energy and more efficient use of landfill sites are direct, positive and practical measures to provide for inter-generational (future generations) and intra-generational (present generation) equity.
7.3 Principle 3: Conservation of Biological Diversity and Ecological Integrity Disposal of waste by FDC is at a designed licensed landfill site. The site has detailed rehabilitation plans to ensure the biological diversity and ecological integrity of the site and its environs. The recovery and recycling of resources conserves resources and consequently minimises the impact of the initial production of resources on the biological diversity and ecological integrity of land.
7.4 Principle 4: Improved Valuation and Pricing of Environmental Resources FDC applies control measures in the treatment, storage, transport and disposal of waste materials to minimise air, water and noise pollution. These control measures are the means whereby the valuation of the environmental resources of air quality, water quality and area amenity is enhanced.

8 Conclusion FDC’s clients can feel secure in the knowledge that their waste is being disposed of and recycled according to environmental protection legislation and the principles of ecologically sustainable development. Recycling Reports are a key feature of FDC’s waste management services and can be provided to clients at the end of each month indicating the recycling results achieved by individual sites. This allows our clients the confidence of knowing they are achieving Government standards and meeting all reporting requirements.

1 Executive summary
Environmental Resource Management (ERM), was commissioned by FDC Construction Pty
Ltd to conduct a Visual Hazardous Material survey of nine properties located at 80 - 92 Solander
Road, 1 Thomas Street and 1 Crews Road, Seven Hills, NSW, 2147. All properties were
comprehensively investigated by ERM, which involved a detailed visual inspection of the
buildings onsite, construction materials and other potentially hazardous materials located within
the boundaries of the properties. The inspections were undertaken on Tuesday and Thursday
the 7th and 9th of August 2018.
All dwellings were occupied at the time of inspections, as such no sampling was conducted and
the inspection was strictly limited to visual only. The structures are proposed to be
removed/demolished as part of the future re- development plans of the Site. It is expected that
the Hardi Aged Care facility is to extend, with the development of underground carparks and
new buildings.
The hazardous materials survey visually identified potentially asbestos containing materials to
be present in all buildings. Asbestos was generally located in all electrical backing boards,
external walls and eaves, internal wet areas and some sheds. Please refer to Section 5.0 for
specific locations.

2 Types, Uses & Regulatory Control
2.1 Asbestos
Asbestos is the fibrous form of mineral silicates belonging to the serpentine and amphibole
groups of rock-forming minerals. The most significant types include Chrysotile, Crocidolite, and
Amosite (white, blue and brown or grey asbestos respectively). Asbestos is mined as a naturally
occurring rock fibre, broken down from mineral clumps to groups of loose fibres.
During the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s it was common to use asbestos as a fire retardant on
structural members and as a fire rating of penetration core holes. Its thermal energy
conservation characteristics were used to insulate both hot and cold water pipes and ducting.
Later such products as asbestos cement sheeting, bituminous mastic and membrane, vinyl
tiles, Bakelite and Zelemite boards and many others utilised asbestos in their manufacture, as
it increased their compression and tensile properties.
Asbestos exposure, both personal and to the environment, is covered generally by the
requirements of the National Occupational Health and Safety Commissions Code of Practice
and Guidance Notes:
How to Safely Remove Asbestos Code of Practice (Safe Work NSW 2016);
Code of Practice for the Management and Control of Asbestos in Work places
(Safework NSW 2016); and
Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Asbestos
Fibres [NOHSC:3003 (2005)].
Other relevant legislation includes:
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW);
Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 (NSW);
Environmentally Hazardous Chemicals Regulation 1999 (NSW);
Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2014 (NSW), and;
Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (NSW).
2.2 Lead Paint
Lead naturally exists in three forms; elemental lead, oxides and metal complexes. According to
current guidelines, where the lead content of paint exceeds 1.0% the paint is classified as a
lead-based paint and appropriate steps should be taken to ensure minimal exposure in the
workplace and the receiving environment.
Maximum allowable lead content in new paint was lowered to 0.25% in March 1992. This was
further reduced to 0.1% in 1997 (NHMRC). For existing paint, levels exceeding 1.0% lead
should be managed in accordance with AS4361.1 – 1995 Guide to Lead Paint Management.
Part 1: Industrial Applications and AS4361.2 – 1998 Guide to Lead Paint Management Part 2:
Residential and Commercial Buildings.

Lead was a major constituent of paint from the late 1800s to 1970. It was used as a base, a
drying agent, as colouring (often white, red, orange, yellow and scarlet) and to protect steel or
iron from rust. Most Australian homes and buildings constructed before 1970 contain lead-
based paint.
The current Standards, Regulations and Guidelines pertaining to lead paint management,
removal, stabilisation and disposal include the following:
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW);
Worksafe Australia exposure level for airborne lead of 0.15 mg/m³ TWA;
Environmental Guidelines: Assessment, Classification & Management of Liquid & Non-
liquid Wastes (NSW DEC, 2004);
Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 1996 (NSW); and,
Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (NSW).
2.3 Polychlorinated Biphenyl
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are produced in France, Germany, Italy and the USA under
the trade names Phenchlor, Clophen, Fenchlor, Kanechlor, Arochlor and Sovol etc. The main
properties of PCBs that account for their production in a variety of items are: low solubility in
water, miscibility with organic solvents and polymers, high dielectric constant, chemical stability,
high boiling point and flame resistance.
PCBs are used in closed systems such as electrical transformers, capacitors, fluorescent light
capacitors, hydraulic fluids and insulated electric wires and cables. A safe exposure level of 1
mg/m³ for the lower chlorinated biphenyls (42%) and 0.5 mg/m³ for the higher chlorinated
biphenyls (54%) in the working environment has been adopted in Australia by WorkSafe
Australia.
The current Standards, Regulations and Guidelines pertaining to PCB management, removal,
stabilisation and disposal include the following:
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW);
Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 (NSW);
Adopted National Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the
Occupational Environment [NOHSC:1003(1995)];
Environmental Guidelines: Assessment, Classification & Management of Liquid & Non-
liquid Wastes (NSW DEC, 2004);
Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 1996 (NSW); and,
Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (NSW).

2.4 Synthetic Mineral Fibres
According to the NOHSC Synthetic Mineral Fibres (SMF) is a “generic term used to collectively
describe a number of amorphous (non-crystalline) fibrous materials.” This can include items
such as glass fibre, mineral wool and ceramic fibre which are often found in electrical
equipment. SMF can also be referred to as Man Made Mineral Fibres (MMMF). Due to their
similar use and appearance to asbestos, concerns exist surrounding the health effects
associated with SMF.
Based on reduced health concerns by the International Agency for Research into Cancer
(IARC), the generic 1990 Code of Practice for SMF was not incorporated into the uniform
National WHS legislation and was instead rescinded and not replaced. Most forms of SMF are
not classified as hazardous by Safe Work Australia. For the majority of SMF, the inhalable dust
exposure standard is the most appropriate standard to apply to SMF exposure.

3 Nature of Survey
The survey was conducted on the 7th and 9th of August 2018, the inspection was conducted for
the 9 residential dwellings and their associated structures. All dwellings were occupied at the
time of inspections, as such no sampling was conducted and the inspection was strictly limited
to visual only. Below are the inspected properties.

The structures are proposed to be removed/demolished as part of the future re-development
plans for the Site. It is expected that the Hardi Aged Care facility is to extend, with the
development of underground carparks and new buildings.
Materials suspected of containing PCBs were logged and where possible photographed. No
significant detail was placed on the identification of PCBs as the ongoing maintenance of the
properties and associated structures indicates that modern light fittings were utilised. As the
structure on the Site has the intension of been demolished, lead content within the paint was
considered insignificant.

5 Hazardous Material Summary
Summarised below in Table 10 are the detailed locations of potential asbestos containing
material identified during the inspection, or areas of likely asbestos containing materials. Some
areas identified are based upon investigators knowledge and indicators that would suggest
presence of asbestos containing materials.
Material condition has been described to provide guidance on the risk associated with the
material. Generally the material will be described as below:
Good – Material that is generally undamaged with little to no surface exposure or
deterioration.
Moderate – Material that has been damaged or contains minor cracks, internal materials are
exposed with potential risk of becoming airborne.
Poor – Material that is highly damage, showing obvious signed a weathering and exposure to
airborne is considered likely.
Please refer to Attachment A – Photographic Gallery

6 Conclusion
The hazardous materials survey visually identified potentially asbestos containing materials to
be present in all buildings. Asbestos was generally located in all electrical backing boards,
external walls and eaves, internal wet areas and some sheds. Please refer to Section 5.0 for
specific locations.
All material identified as potentially asbestos containing materials should be treated as
asbestos containing materials unless subsequent laboratory testing indicates otherwise.
Removal works should be validated by an occupational hygienist following the removal works,
as outlined in the WorkCover NSW “How to safely remove Asbestos Code of Practice” prior to
demolition.
