• the objectives to be used for the project in any re-contouring or consolidation,rehabilitation, landscaping and fencing.Describe measures to manage soils and mitigate impacts for all site earthworks andconstruction activities.Assess the likely soil erosion effects resulting from wind, water and removingvegetation.Summarise methods proposed to prevent or control erosion with regard to:• Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control (International Erosion ControlAssociation Australasia 2008)• Guideline: EPA Best Practice Urban Stormwater Management—Erosion andSediment Control (Environmental Protection Agency 2008a)• preventing soil loss in order to maintain land capability/suitability• preventing degradation of local waterways• details of an erosion monitoring program.Discuss the potential for acid generation through disturbance of acid sulfate soilsduring earthworks, dredging and disposal, and construction.Should action criteria be triggered by acid generating potential as a result of testing,outline management measures in an acid sulfate soils management plan (ASSMP)prepared in accordance with:• Queensland Acid Sulfate Soil Technical Manual (see:www.derm.qld.gov.au/land/ass/products.html)• State Planning Policy 2/02: Planning and Managing Development Involving AcidSulfate Soils (Department of Natural Resources and Mines & Department of LocalGovernment and Planning 2002a)• State Planning Policy 2/02 Guideline: Acid Sulfate Soils (Department of NaturalResources and Mines and Department of Local Government and Planning 2002b).Append an outline of the ASSMP to the EIS, including the structure, potentialmonitoring strategies and a likely timeframe for development.Identify any areas within the project footprint likely to temporarily or permanently impactSCL. Where areas of identified SCL are likely to be permanently alienated by theproject, the proponent should discuss how to undertake the SCL assessment process,defined by the SCL Act, with Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) andDAFF staff.5.2.4. Land contaminationDescription of environmental valuesDiscuss the potential for land contamination within the project area from existing andpast uses, based on land use history and the nature and quantity of any contaminants.Include:• mapping of any areas listed on the Environmental Management Register orContaminated Land Register under the EP Act- 30 - Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement
• identification of any potentially contaminated sites not on the registers whether ornot remediation is required• a description of the nature and extent of contamination at each site.Identify and describe all potential issues concerning land contamination from theproject including waste, coal storage and handling, and chemical spills.Potential impacts and mitigation measuresDiscuss the management of any contaminated land and potential for contaminationfrom construction, commissioning and operation, in accordance with the DraftGuidelines for the Assessment and Management of Contaminated Land in Queensland(Department of Environment 1998) and the National Environment Protection(Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure 1999 (Cwlth).Describe strategies and methods to be used to prevent and manage any landcontamination resulting from the project, including the management of any acidgeneration or management of chemicals and fuels to prevent spills or leaks.State any intentions concerning the classification of land contamination after projectcompletion.5.3. Coastal environmentDescribe the existing coastal environment that may be affected by the project in thecontext of coastal values identified in the Queensland State of the Environment reportsand environmental values as defined by the EP Act and EPPs.Identify actions associated with the project that are assessable development within thecoastal zone and will require assessment under the provisions of the Coastal Act.Assess the project’s consistency with the Queensland Coastal Plan (Department ofEnvironment and Resource Management 2012a), including State Planning Policy 3/11:Coastal Protection (Department of Environment and Resource Management 2011c)and its associated guideline, and the State Policy: Coastal Management (Departmentof Environment and Resource Management 2011d).5.3.1. Hydrodynamics and sedimentationDescription of environmental valuesAssess the physical and chemical characteristics of sediments within the littoral andmarine zone adjacent to the project area.Describe the physical processes of coastal environment related to the project including:• waves• currents• tides• storm surges• freshwater flowsContents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement- 31 -
