PBPL 8 June 2012 Port of Brisbane Soil Disposal Plan 6.2.2 Soil Sampling The soil investigation must include the following: The collection and analysis of a suitable number of soil samples from the material to be disposed off site at a minimum sampling frequency of 1 per 50m3. This frequency is based on the Department of Environment Draft Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of Contaminated Land in Queensland(1998). The analysis of samples at a NATA accredited laboratory for chemicals of concern identified at the site, refer to Section 6.2.3; Comparison of the laboratory results against the relevant guidelines to assess the suitability for the soil to remain on PBPL land, see Section 6.2.4; 6.2.3 Analytes Samples should be analysed for the following contaminants of concern. Variations to the analyte list can be sought from and/or required by PBPL. Heavy metals (Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc); Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; Total petroleum hydrocarbons; Benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes; Asbestos fibres and fragments. 6.2.4 Guidelines Relevant Guidelines are described in Appendix 9 of The Department of Environment Draft Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of Contaminated Land in Queensland(1998), which provides investigation threshold levels for contaminants in soil, including environmental investigation levels and health-based investigation levels in various sensitivity exposure settings. A copy of these guidelines is included in Annex C of this document. The most relevant exposure setting for PBPL leaseholders is Exposure Setting F: Commercial/ Industrial. In addition, analysis for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) should be included. For initial screening, and in the absence of guidelines for TPH listed in Annex C, the following TPH concentrations should also be used as screening levels to assess the significance of TPH:- TPH c6-c9 < 100mg/kg; TPH c10-c14 < 100mg/kg; TPH c15-28 < 1,000mg/kg; and TPH c29-c36 < 1000mg/kg.

PBPL 8 June 2012 Port of Brisbane Soil Disposal Plan 6.2.5 Reporting 6.2.5.1 For soil movement between lease areas and soil movement off PBPL land not regulated under the EP Act. Reports should be prepared in accordance with the Draft Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of Contaminated Land in Queensland, (1998). The report is to include; 1) Details of the proposed excavation location including property description and address; 2) Details of the expected volume of material; 3) Details of the chemical characteristics of the material including analysis as described in Section 6.2. 4) Details of the receiving site. 6.2.5.2 For soil movement off PBPL land for lease areas listed on EMR or CLR and/or regulated under EP Act In accordance with Section 424 of the EP Act, applications for a DEHR Disposal Permit should be lodged on the Application for Disposal Permit form available from DEHR, and accompanied by: written agreement from the owner of the disposal site to accept the contaminated soil, stating any conditions to be placed on the soil disposal; information which demonstrates the contaminated soil may be accepted under licence conditions issued under the EP Act; a copy of the Certificate of Title of the site from which soil is to be removed; a copy of the Certificate of Title of the site receiving the contaminated soil (if the soil is not going to a local government-administered landfill); copies of all laboratory reports for contaminated soil analyses (one laboratory sample/50m 3 soil is considered a minimum for stockpile sampling) and leachate testing results; a plan showing the location of sampling sites in relation to the contamination source; and a completed Notification of Land form (if the site from which the soil is being removed is not listed on the Environmental Management Register or Contaminated Land Register). Application for a DEHP Disposal Permit forms can be found in Appendix 12 of the Draft Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of Contaminated Land in Queensland (1998). A copy is included in Annex D. AS121308-6 11

6.2.2 <strong>Soil</strong> Sampling<br />
The soil investigation must include the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The collection and analysis <strong>of</strong> a suitable number <strong>of</strong> soil samples from the material to be<br />
disposed <strong>of</strong>f site at a minimum sampling frequency <strong>of</strong> 1 per 50m3. This frequency is<br />
based on the Department <strong>of</strong> Environment Draft <strong>Guide</strong>lines for the Assessment and<br />
Management <strong>of</strong> Contaminated Land in Queensland(1998).<br />
The analysis <strong>of</strong> samples at a NATA accredited laboratory for chemicals <strong>of</strong> concern<br />
identified at the site, refer to Section 6.2.3;<br />
Comparison <strong>of</strong> the laboratory results against the relevant guidelines to assess the<br />
suitability for the soil to remain on PBPL land, see Section 6.2.4;<br />
6.2.3 Analytes<br />
Samples should be analysed for the following contaminants <strong>of</strong> concern. Variations to the<br />
analyte list can be sought from and/or required by PBPL.<br />
<br />
