4.0 Objective
The objective for waste is to prioritise the prevention and minimisation of waste generation, followed by the effective management of wastes (storage, handling, transport and disposal) in a manner that minimises impact on the environment, while also being cost effective.
The QGC waste management hierarchy depicted in Figure 1, highlights the range of options available to manage and dispose of waste, demonstrating the ranking of the most preferred to least preferred options with regard to waste management. This forms the foundation of the waste management system and is in line with the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011.

6.1 Waste Management System
6.1.1 Collection
Waste receptacles will be placed around the facility to collect general daily waste and begin the segregation process. These receptacles will be labelled to indicate the waste type for which they are intended. Generally they will be for non-hazardous and/or non-regulated waste such as general inert waste, putrescible waste and recyclables. There will also be closed and contained receptacles for oily rags. As the receptacles approach 80 % capacity they will be moved to the Waste Transfer Area (WTA).
Some liquid wastes will be directly removed from the plant area via tanker (refer Figure 2).
Upon generation, all other wastes, including dangerous goods and regulated wastes, are to be moved directly to the WTA or Chemical Storage Building.
6.1.2 Storage and Handling
A WTA has been designated for the storage and handling of most waste from the Facility. It is a controlled area adjacent to the Warehouse, and will be used to stage and segregate waste according to the Waste Hierarchy prior to transport. The location has been chosen due to proximity to the Warehouse and Maintenance Building where a significant volume of waste will be generated and away from the plant area.
Waste will be segregated into individual storage containers, which are appropriately and clearly labelled for each waste type as indicated in Figure 2.
The Chemical Storage Building will contain a bunded waste storage area for chemicals and solvents.
6.1.3 Transportation
Transportation will be undertaken by either QGC or an appropriately licenced third party waste contractor as indicated in Figure 2. Transport from the LNG Facility to the mainland will be on vehicles on the RORO ferries. Regulated waste will only be transported to a recycling facility or disposal facility by a contractor holding an Environmental Authority for Regulated Waste Transport. If the waste is classified as dangerous goods, the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail, 7th edition, (ADG Code), or more recent versions should also be observed. QGC will evaluate contractors to ensure tasks are carried out in accordance with relevant legislation and QGC standards.

6.1.4 Disposal
Anticipated end point for each of the identified wastes has been identified and included in Figure 2 although these may change subject to further refinement of waste management in practice and to availability of recycling or disposal facilities. The nine end point categories are:
Reuse
There may be opportunity to reuse some material (potential waste products) in their original form on site. For example; packaging, drums and paint.
Recycle
Recycling is the reprocessing of materials back into similar products or into secondary raw materials for the production of new products. There are many opportunities for recycling of wastes from the LNG Facility.
The opportunity for recycling in Gladstone is limited and some recyclable wastes may be transported to Brisbane, depending on practicability.
Energy Recovery
Energy recovery is the process of extracting usable materials or energy from waste. There are some opportunities for recovery of wastes from Curtis Island, however a number of factors affect the practicability of adopting this method, including limited energy recovery facilities in Gladstone.
General Waste Landfill
Remaining wastes that are unable to be avoided, reused or recycled will be disposed to a landfill that holds an Environmental Authority for Waste Disposal (engineered land disposal site) by a licensed contractor as a last-resort option.
Regulated Waste Landfill
Regulated waste will only be disposed at a landfill that holds an Environmental Authority for Waste Disposal and can accept regulated waste.
Dangerous Goods
Each Dangerous Goods material will require separate assessment by the LEA and Waste Management Contractors with key stakeholder engagement, including Logistics Superintendent, Production Manager and LNG Operations HSSE Manager to determine the most effective disposal method. Disposal methods may include, however are not limited to; landfill, recycling, direct and indirect reuse or thermal destruction with relevant compliance evaluations carried out to ensure final receiving site’s authority to accept waste material/s.
Industrial Waste Water Facility
Each Industrial Waste Water will require separate assessment by the Waste Management Contractors and review by the LEA with key stakeholder engagement, including Logistics Superintendent, Production Manager and LNG Operations HSSE Manager to determine the most effective disposal sites and method.

On-site Disposal
Sediment excavated from the Stormwater Management Ponds may be disposed in the Spoil Disposal Area within the north-western corner of the PFL.
Responsibility of Others
Some waste is generated as part of a proprietary system package such as the ROBO Wash. This waste will be collected under stewardship of the supplier. Potentially some waste streams generated on an infrequent basis during major maintenance or shutdown activities may also be collected under stewardship of a supplier or specialist contract, subject to confirmation of appropriate licensing for transport and disposal of the waste streams.
Additionally, grey water and sewage will be piped along Gladstone Regional Council’s Reticulation Infrastructure to their Gladstone Wastewater Treatment Plant.
6.2 Management Measures
Table 4 presents management measures to be adopted during operation to meet the performance objectives and criteria for waste management.
![Page 20: WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN · This management plan addresses the objectives and performance criteria, management measures, and monitoring, auditing, and corrective action requirements](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071408/6100a46213cd145dcd514cc6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
