• interference with watercourses, lakes and dams, floodplain and intertidal areas, andwetlands• site establishment requirements for construction facilities, including accessmeasures, movement of materials and equipment and expected size, source andcontrol of the construction workforce accommodation, services (for example, water,sewerage, telecommunications, energy, waste disposal, recreation) and safetyrequirements• removal of pre-existing structures• temporary works• upgrade, relocation, realignment, deviation of or restricted access to roads and otherinfrastructure• equipment to be used.4.4.1. Tidal works—dredging and disposalDredgingDescribe and map the location, area, depth and volume of dredging required for theproject. Provide maps showing existing dredged areas, and areas currently approvedfor dredging, in relation to the proposed dredging.Provide details of the dredging methods including:• the dredge equipment, including number and type of vessels• the expected duration, timing and operation hours of the dredging campaign• whether, where and how any blasting may be required, including the scale,frequency and duration of the blasting and proposed management measures• expected vessel movement patterns• how the dredged material will be managed while being loaded• the monitoring and treatment of dredged equipment for potential introduced species.DisposalDescribe proposed disposal options, methods, locations and site characteristics (forexample, spoil ground dimensions and capacity), for disposing of capital andmaintenance dredge spoil, with reference to the NAGD (Commonwealth of Australia2009).Identify the preferred disposal option and explaining how the preferred option wasselected, including consideration of the economic benefits and costs associated withthe disposal options.Explain the management of the optional dredge spoil disposal sites during disposaloperations.Discuss disposal options for contaminated material, if required.Explain the provisions of any previous sea dumping permits for port operations relevantto the project including dates, volumes and existing spoil ground location, capacity andenvironmental values.- 18 - Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement
Describe the location, extent and methods of any dredge spoil disposal sites, includingany landfill or land reclamation options, addressing the following requirements:• the boundary of land to be filled or reclaimed by metes and bounds, tied to realproperty boundaries• details of estimated commencement, completion, rate of progress and estimatedcost of the filling or reclamation• the location of the landward limit of mean high water spring tide (MHWST), highestastronomical tide, and the coastal management district as declared under theCoastal Act• existing levels of the land and proposed final levels of landfill or reclamation inrelation to the lowest astronomical tide and Australian height datum• typical cross-section across the land to be reclaimed showing the proposed finishedlevels and method of protecting the seaward boundary of the site/s from erosion.Information provided in this section should refer to:• Reclaiming land under tidal water (Department of Environment and ResourceManagement 2010c)• Guideline: Allocation of quarry material (Department of Environment and ResourceManagement 2010a)• relevant policies of the Queensland Coastal Plan (Department of Environment andResource Management 2012a) relating to reclaiming land.For additional discussion on dredging and disposal see Part B. section 5.3.2 of thisTOR.4.5. Associated infrastructureDetail, with the aid of concept and layout plans, requirements for new associatedinfrastructure or upgrading/relocating existing infrastructure to service the project forthe construction and operation stages. Consider infrastructure such as transportation,water supply, energy supply, telecommunications, waste disposal, wastewater andstormwater disposal and sewerage.4.5.1. Road transportProvide information on road transportation requirements on local and state-controlledroads for both construction and operations stages, including:• any proposed new roads to provide access to or within project sites• existing traffic levels, vehicle types and numbers, and trip lengths for roadssurrounding the access points to project sites• construction traffic, including vehicle types, heavy and oversize loads and number ofvehicles• operational traffic, including vehicle types and numbers• anticipated times at which movements may occur• proposed transport routes (including any waterway crossings)Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement- 19 -
