• need for increased road and intersection maintenance and upgrading, including anyintersections, waterway crossings and road/rail crossings• methods of communicating these issues to the public.More detailed information regarding transport infrastructure will be required inaccordance with section 5.10 of this TOR. The EIS should include cross-referencesbetween the sections as appropriate.4.5.2. Rail transportProvide information on rail transportation and infrastructure requirements in the projectarea for both construction and operation stages, including:• the proposed new railway components, including easements and ownershiparrangements• analysis and design plans for any interface with the Goonyella system (inconsultation with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and QRNational• proposed transport routes of all project-related transport movements associated withrail, including associated infrastructure such as railway crossings• need for increased rail crossing maintenance and upgrading, in consultation withTMR and QR National. Note: rail crossings should be designed to meet QRNational’s requirements.• all rail infrastructure required to be constructed, upgraded, relocated, commissionedor decommissioned in the project area for the construction and/or operation of theproject, including the design and construction standards to be met.More detailed information regarding transport infrastructure will be required inaccordance with section 5.10 of this TOR. The EIS should include cross-referencesbetween the sections as appropriate.4.5.3. Maritime supportProvide concept and layout plans, highlighting proposed structures, plant andequipment associated with the construction and operation of the proposed DudgeonPoint barge and Half Tide tug harbour facilities. The description of the maritime supportfacilities should include but is not limited to:• port boundaries• jetty and wharf alignment• barge ramps• berths for tugs and other non-bulk carrier vessels• current shipping activities and movements• ship numbers, size, frequency, speed and route through the designated shippingchannel in the GBRMP• dredging and dredge spoil disposal requirements (see also section 4.4.1)• location of navigational aids• ship-sourced waste reception facilities- 20 - Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement
• any other associated facilities.4.5.4. Temporary workforce accommodationIf temporary workforce accommodation is to be provided by the project specifically tobe used to accommodate the project workforce, in addition to any existing or proposedindependent accommodation options, provide details on the number, size, location(shown on a map), management, proximity to the construction site, and typical facilitiesfor these project temporary workforce accommodation sites.Options for the location/s of any temporary workforce accommodation camps are to bedetermined in consultation with MRC.Information should outline any local government or other regulatory approvals requiredto establish and operate such camps, including development approvals, building,health and safety, and waste disposal purposes.4.5.5. EnergyDescribe all energy requirements including electricity, natural gas, and/or solid andliquid fuel requirements for the construction and operation of the project.Detail the location, design and capacity of power generation and transmissioninfrastructure in the project area for construction and operation. Show the locations ofany easements on the infrastructure plan.Provide details of any proposed generation of renewable energy within the projectarea.Briefly describe energy conservation measures in the context of any relevantAustralian, state and local government policies.4.5.6. Water supply and storageProvide information on the proposed water usage by the project, including:• water supply design• the ultimate supply and sources of this supply required to meet the demand for fulloccupancy of the development• the quality and quantity of all water supplied to the site during the construction andoperation stages based on minimum yield scenarios for water re-use, rainwaterharvesting and re-use and bore water volumes• a water balance analysis• water storage details (potable and stormwater)• fire fighting flows required• any recycling of treated wastewater.For any approvals required under SPA or the Water Act (if required), report onproposed sources of either allocated or independent water supply to address projectrequirements (for both construction and operation stages) that does not counteractcurrent water allocations and demands in the region.
