5.8.2. Potential impacts and mitigation measuresDescribe the impacts of noise and vibration generated during the construction andoperation stages of the project, with particular attention given to operational rail noiseimpacts to local residential areas. Noise and vibration impact analysis should include:• the levels of noise and vibration generated, including noise contours, assessedagainst current typical background levels, using modelling where appropriate• cumulative contribution of noise and vibration generated during the construction andoperation stages of the project, with regard to current typical background levels• impact of noise, including low frequency noise (noise with components below200 Hz) and vibration at all potentially sensitive receivers compared with theperformance indicators and standards nominated above• impact on terrestrial, avian and aquatic fauna• proposals to minimise or eliminate these effects, including details of any screening,lining, enclosing or bunding of facilities, or timing schedules for construction andoperations that would minimise environmental harm and environmental nuisancefrom noise and vibration• options for sensitive receivers that are otherwise unable to achieve a satisfactoryinternal noise level for the preservation of health and wellbeing as identified withinthe EPP (Noise).Night-time worksProvide details of any night-time work that may be undertaken. Specifically include:• the reasons why night-time work may be undertaken (e.g. to avoid peak trafficperiods, or to undertake work in a rail corridor)• the likely duration of work• the proposed hours of the work• the nature of the work to be undertaken• the likely impact on residents and the associated mitigation measures to beundertaken by the proponent• the methods that will be used to communicate with affected residents.5.9. Waste5.9.1. Waste generationIdentify and describe all sources, likely volumes and quality (where applicable) of wasteassociated with construction, operation and decommissioning of all aspects of theproject. Refer to the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011 (Qld). Describe:• waste generated by delivery of material to site(s)• all chemical and mechanical processes conducted on the construction sites thatproduce waste• the amount and characteristics of solid and liquid waste produced on site by theproject- 50 - Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement
• hazardous materials to be stored and used on site, including environmental toxicitydata and biodegradability• generation of ship-sourced wastes (see also Part B, Section 5.10.5).5.9.2. Waste managementAssess the potential impact of all wastes generated during construction and operation,with regard for best practice waste management strategies in accordance with theWaste Reduction and Recycling Act.Provide details of waste management strategies (including reduction, re-use, recycling,storage, transport and disposal of waste). Demonstrate that waste minimisation andcleaner production techniques and designs will be implemented to prevent or minimiseenvironmental impacts when selecting processes, equipment and facilities.Provide details of each waste in terms of:• the options available for avoidance/minimisation• operational handling and fate of all wastes including storage• on-site treatment methods proposed for any wastes• methods of disposal (including the need to transport wastes off site for disposal)proposed to be used for any trade wastes, liquid wastes and solid wastes• the potential level of impact on environmental values• measures to ensure stability of the waste storage areas and impoundments• methods to prevent seepage and contamination of groundwater from stockpilesand/or storage areas and impoundments• measures to minimise attraction of vermin, insects and pests• options available for using recycled materials• market demand for recyclable waste (where appropriate)• decommissioning of the construction site.Provide details of cleaner production waste management planning, especially howthese concepts will be applied to prevent or minimise environmental impacts at eachstage of the proposal. Discuss measures to improve natural resource use efficiency (forexample, energy and water), integrated processing design, any co-generation of powerand by-product re-use as shown in a material/energy flow analysis.Assess the hazardous nature of any structures or materials found on site that need tobe handled accordingly with relevant legislation (including the Public Health Act 2005(Qld) and Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld)), national codes of practice(Code of Practice for the Management and Control of Asbestos in WorkplacesNOHSC:2018(2005) and Code of Practice for the Safe Removal of Asbestos, 2ndEdition NOHSC: 2002(2005)).Address the requirements of the Transport Operations (Marine Pollution) Act 1995(Qld) and the Transport Operations (Marine Pollution) Regulation 2008 as they apply toship-sourced pollution.Contents of the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals ProjectTerms of reference for an environmental impact statement- 51 -
