Port4.3.1. Port descriptionProvide concept and layout plans highlighting proposed structures, plant andequipment associated with port terminal operations. The description of the port and thelayout of 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 of Hay Point and the GBRMP for the current Port of Hay Pointoperations• offshore ship mooring locations• location of navigational aids• ship-sourced pollution management facilities• any other associated facilities.4.3.2. Maritime operationDescribe the location and nature of the processes and operations associated with thelong-term operation of the project, including:• a general description of the operations of the coal terminal• the present and expected increased shipping numbers, sizes, frequency, speed,route and piloting requirements through the Port of Hay Point and the GBRMP forfuture port operations• the present and additional number of tugs, location of tug berths and tug operations• hours of operation• expected access, navigational and anchorage arrangements• maintenance dredging operations• a description of arrangements for long-term maintenance of the marine facilities,(such as ship-sourced pollution management facilities) including details of theresponsible parties• details of the predicted usage of the marine facilities, including opportunities forrecreational and public usage• detailed requirements of vessel operations, including tugs, pilotage, channelclosures, quarantine and security arrangements and the like.- 16 - Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of 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 of these facilities including the capacity of stockpiling,in-loading and out-loading operations for each stage of the port’s development, andbunding of storage facilities.Describe the nature, sources, location and quantities of all materials to be handled,including storage and stockpiling of coal (see also Part B, Section 4.5.9 of this TOR).Identify and describe all potential issues due to product handling.4.3.4. StructuresDescribe all structures, including:• locations and dimensions of buildings and marine infrastructure associated with theport• location and extent of any proposed breakwater and revetment structures (ifrequired) and the likely construction methodologies• the likely interface of the port infrastructure with the port road and rail infrastructure• location and description of 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 of tidal land islikely to occur as a result of buildings and structures.4.4. ConstructionProvide a detailed staging plan and approximate timeframes for the project’s keyconstruction stage activities.Provide an estimate of the number and roles of people to be employed during thepre-construction and construction stages of the project.Provide the following information on the pre-construction, construction andcommissioning of 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 of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement- 17 -
