Method and assessment criteria The waste management and resource use assessment was undertaken with reference to the: Waste Reduction and Purchasing Policy (EPA, 1997) Protection of Environment Operations Act 1997 (EPA, 1997) Waste Classification Guidelines (EPA, 1997) Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act 2001 (EPA, 2001) Storing and Handling Liquids, Environmental Protection (DECC, 2007) Waste Reduction and Purchasing Plan (Roads and Maritime, 2010) Waste Reduction and Purchasing Policy (WRAPP) (OEH, 2011) Towards a More Sustainable RMS (Roads and Maritime, 2011). The assessment: Identified the likely types and volumes of generated construction waste Identified the likely types and volumes of required construction materials Determined the waste management strategy that would be implemented during construction, including the potential for waste reduction Determined the material procurement strategy that would be implemented during construction, including the potential for reducing resource consumption Identified the waste management and resource use issues that would need safeguarding and managing under the proposal. Policy setting NSW waste management legislation and planning policy governs waste generation and management, materials reuse and recycling, transportation and disposal and establishes a waste minimisation hierarchy that prioritises waste solutions according to how successfully they conserve natural resources. The hierarchy advocates: Avoidance, in preference to Recovery, including reuse, recycling, reprocessing and energy recovery, in preference to Responsible disposal. The Waste Reduction and Purchasing Policy sets objectives to minimise government-sector waste by employing the above hierarchy as well as providing waste segregation at source and the purchase of recycled materials or materials with a high recycled content. Where disposal remains the only option, the Waste Classification Guidelines 2009 provide for classifying six types of waste in NSW: special, liquid, hazardous, restricted solid waste, general solid (putrescible) and general solid (non-putrescible). The classifications define how the materials are to be stored, transported, managed and disposed of. The two Roads and Maritime published documents make commitment to the above and set out strategies for waste minimisation and the purchase of recycled materials locally wherever possible. The above documents also provide for the preferential reuse of available excavated natural materials (ENM) over their disposal, providing they satisfy a number of requisite criteria, including engineering suitability, classification and/or condition. Roads and Maritime is exempt from the normal permitting requirements needed to reuse claimed ENM and road material, including asphalt pavement and aggregate.

6.10.2 Potential impacts Waste generation during construction Waste would be generated from two principal activities: Ground Earthworks, as discussed specifically in section 3.3.7 Offcuts, containers, packaging and construction materials. Table 6-58 lists the anticipated generated waste. In all instances, waste volumes would be small reflecting the nature and scale of the proposal.
