The data obtained from the groundwater survey should be sufficient to enablespecification <strong>of</strong> the major ionic species present in the groundwater, pH, electricalconductivity and total dissolved solids.5.5.2. Potential impacts and mitigation measuresAssess the potential impacts <strong>of</strong> the project on water resource environmental valuesidentified in the previous section.Assess the hydrological impacts <strong>of</strong> the project on surface water and water courses,particularly with regard to stream diversions, scouring and erosion, and changes t<strong>of</strong>looding levels and frequency <strong>of</strong> flooding both upstream and downstream <strong>of</strong> the project.If flooding levels will be affected, modelling <strong>of</strong> afflux should be provided and illustratedwith maps. Where appropriate, ensure flood studies reference State Planning Policy1/03: Mitigating the Adverse Impacts <strong>of</strong> Flood, Bushfire and Landslide (Department <strong>of</strong>Local Government and Planning & Department <strong>of</strong> Emergency Services 2003).If required, discuss the need or otherwise for licensing <strong>of</strong> any dams (including referabledams) or creek diversions, under the Water Act and/or Water Supply (Safety andReliability) Act 2008. Water allocation and water sources, including impacts on existingwater entitlements (including water harvesting), should be established in consultationwith DNRM.Define and describe the practical measures for protecting or enhancing water resourceenvironmental values, to describe how nominated quantitative standards and indicatorsmay be achieved. Include the following:• potential impacts on the flow, quantity and the quality <strong>of</strong> surface water andgroundwater from all stages <strong>of</strong> the project• an assessment <strong>of</strong> the potential to contaminate surface and groundwater resourcesand measures to prevent, mitigate and remediate such contamination.Describe how nominated water quality objectives will be monitored, audited, reportedand managed.Water management strategies should be adequately detailed to demonstrate bestpractice management and that environmental values <strong>of</strong> receiving waters will bemaintained to nominated water quality objectives.Outline how all water resource management measures will be implemented in theproject EMPs.Wastewater, stormwater, sewerage and water storage systemsDescribe the proposed wastewater, stormwater and sewerage systems and theproposed storage and disposal arrangements.In relation to water supply and usage, and wastewater and stormwater disposal,discuss anticipated flows <strong>of</strong> water to and from the proposal area.Where dams, weirs or ponds are proposed, investigate the effects <strong>of</strong> predictableclimatic extremes (storm events, floods and droughts) on:- 46 - Contents <strong>of</strong> the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals Project<strong>Terms</strong> <strong>of</strong> reference for an environmental impact statement
