Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011An overarching framework that outlines the main approach to when QGC vehicles or machinery shouldbe cleaned and to what extent is provided in Appendix 4. This matrix is taken from the „PetroleumIndustry (including coal seam methane gas) Minimising Pest Spread Guidelines‟.3.3.1 General Vehicle Measures to Minimise Weed SpreadThe following general measures should be applied by all staff and contractors to minimise weed spread:• Vehicles to avoid leaving designated access tracks or roads;• Vehicles, machinery and equipment suspected of carrying weed seed will be cleaned followingthe recommendations listed below;• Project-specific weed management recommendations will be identified in each project‟sConstruction Environmental Management Plan and the project specific Land Access RulesOverview;• QGC fleet vehicles must be thoroughly washed once per week and interiors thoroughly cleanedonce per month;• Each QGC or contractor vehicle must have a current Weed Inspection Report or weeddeclaration when arriving on QGC land or leaving QGC private property for work purposes;• Ensure clothing and footwear are free of mud and seeds before stepping in vehicles;• Work in clean areas first or start in areas with the least amount of infestation during peak seedproduction times;• Secure loads that are suspected to contain weed seeds;• QGC field staff and contractors to receive basic weed identification training and be issued with aweed booklet;• Contact the Environment Team for any enquiries or for reporting of weed sightings;• Report weed sightings to FEO, record in QGC GIS Database and incorporate into QGC Protocol.3.3.2 Cleaning of Vehicles and MachineryClean-down requirements and procedures are detailed in QGC‟s Environmental Guideline WeedHygiene for Vehicles and Machinery (OPS-T-GDL-0002 Rev B February 2011). It is the responsibilityof every contractor/employee to keep their vehicles and machinery weed free. This includes regularlychecking and cleaning the vehicle, in particular when driving off-road. QGC employees using a fleetvehicle are expected to wash their car once per week and clean the interior monthly. This is the minimumrequirement.18 of 100
Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011QGC‟s Environmental Guideline (OPS-T-GDL-0002 Rev B February 2011) indicates that two forms areto be used as part of the Weed Hygiene Procedures: - the Weed Hygiene Declaration Form issued by the Queensland Government; and the QGC Internal Weed Hygiene Inspection Report.The Weed Hygiene Declaration Form should generally be used every time a thing such as a vehicle orother piece of machinery is transported to a new area or property and on request and is further explainedin Section 3.3.3.The QGC Internal Weed Hygiene Inspection Report serves as a supplement form that should be used asa means of good company practice as it lists individual cleaned items and can only be signed by acompetent inspector. The weed hygiene inspection report should be used to manage land holder specificweed free requests.The location of QGC clean-down facilities will be determined in the operational planning phase for eachfield based on results of pre-clearance surveys, pegging parties, confirmation of the location ofinfrastructure and consultation with landowners. Currently numerous local community clean-downfacilities are located within the Gas Field region and are listed in Table 1.Table 1: Washdown facilities within the Gas Field regionChinchillaLocation Address Standard Requirements/CommentsChinchilla Saleyards,Slessar StreetTown water pressureNo under body washNo compressed airSupply your own hose 1 ¼”Kenya Kenya Guardhouse High pressure waterTaraWandoanKenya PondTara Saleyards,Surat Development RoadWandoan Saleyards,Windeyer RoadNo under body washNo compressed airHigh pressure waterUnder body washNo compressed airTown water pressureNo under body washNo compressed airOwn pump can be fitterHigh pressure waterNo under body washNo compressed airSupply your own hoseWindibri Windibri Warehouse High pressure waterNo under body washNo compressed airNotice required – Western DownsRegional Council,Chinchilla Service Centre, HeeneyStreet.Open 24 hoursNo notice requiredOpen 24 hoursNo notice requiredNotice required – Western DownsRegional Council,Tara Service Centre.Open 24 hoursNo notice requiredOpen 24 hoursNo notice required19 of 100
