Port4.3.1. Port descriptionProvide concept and layout plans highlighting proposed structures, plant andequipment associated with port terminal operations. The description <strong>of</strong> the port and thelayout <strong>of</strong> key components should include, but is not limited to:• port boundaries• jetty and wharf alignment• ship loading equipment• berths for tugs and other non-bulk carrier vessels• current ship numbers, sizes, frequency, speed, route and piloting requirementsthrough the Port <strong>of</strong> Hay Point and the GBRMP for the current Port <strong>of</strong> Hay Pointoperations• <strong>of</strong>fshore ship mooring locations• location <strong>of</strong> navigational aids• ship-sourced pollution management facilities• any other associated facilities.4.3.2. Maritime operationDescribe the location and nature <strong>of</strong> the processes and operations associated with thelong-term operation <strong>of</strong> the project, including:• a general description <strong>of</strong> the operations <strong>of</strong> the coal terminal• the present and expected increased shipping numbers, sizes, frequency, speed,route and piloting requirements through the Port <strong>of</strong> Hay Point and the GBRMP forfuture port operations• the present and additional number <strong>of</strong> tugs, location <strong>of</strong> tug berths and tug operations• hours <strong>of</strong> operation• expected access, navigational and anchorage arrangements• maintenance dredging operations• a description <strong>of</strong> arrangements for long-term maintenance <strong>of</strong> the marine facilities,(such as ship-sourced pollution management facilities) including details <strong>of</strong> theresponsible parties• details <strong>of</strong> the predicted usage <strong>of</strong> the marine facilities, including opportunities forrecreational and public usage• detailed requirements <strong>of</strong> vessel operations, including tugs, pilotage, channelclosures, quarantine and security arrangements and the like.- 16 - Contents <strong>of</strong> the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals Project<strong>Terms</strong> <strong>of</strong> reference for an environmental impact statement
• opportunities for future expansion.4.3.3. Product handlingDescribe, and show on plans at an appropriate scale, the proposed methods andfacilities to be used for storing coal and for transferring coal from the rail spur to theproposed stockpile and from the stockpile to the export berths.Discuss any design features <strong>of</strong> these facilities including the capacity <strong>of</strong> stockpiling,in-loading and out-loading operations for each stage <strong>of</strong> the port’s development, andbunding <strong>of</strong> storage facilities.Describe the nature, sources, location and quantities <strong>of</strong> all materials to be handled,including storage and stockpiling <strong>of</strong> coal (see also Part B, Section 4.5.9 <strong>of</strong> this TOR).Identify and describe all potential issues due to product handling.4.3.4. StructuresDescribe all structures, including:• locations and dimensions <strong>of</strong> buildings and marine infrastructure associated with theport• location and extent <strong>of</strong> any proposed breakwater and revetment structures (ifrequired) and the likely construction methodologies• the likely interface <strong>of</strong> the port infrastructure with the port road and rail infrastructure• location and description <strong>of</strong> structures near or crossing state-controlled roads• temporary infrastructure to be used for any pre-assembled modules orpre-fabricated units• modifications that may be needed to accommodate climate change and sea levelrise.Provide maps and figures detailing where permanent or temporary loss <strong>of</strong> tidal land islikely to occur as a result <strong>of</strong> buildings and structures.4.4. ConstructionProvide a detailed staging plan and approximate timeframes for the project’s keyconstruction stage activities.Provide an estimate <strong>of</strong> the number and roles <strong>of</strong> people to be employed during thepre-construction and construction stages <strong>of</strong> the project.Provide the following information on the pre-construction, construction andcommissioning <strong>of</strong> the project including detailed plans where appropriate including:• approvals required for each stage• land acquisitions and changes to land tenures (for example, leases, permits-tooccupy,reserves, easements etc.)• nature, extent and timing for vegetation clearing• site access• earthworksContents <strong>of</strong> the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals Project<strong>Terms</strong> <strong>of</strong> reference for an environmental impact statement- 17 -
