1. Introduction

The Gourmet Oil Company (Australia), trading as Hagen Oil Pty Ltd, proposes the relocation of an existing oil recycling facility from 26 Murphy St Invermay to 1 Venture Court, Invermay. The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) advised on 4 August 2017 that the environmental impact of the above proposal will be assessed by the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) as a class 2A assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (the EMPC Act). The EPA issued guidelines for the preparation of this Environmental Effects Report (EER) in August 2017 and this EER follows the format and heading system as suggested in that advice. The Murphy St site operates under Environment Protection Notice (EPN) No 7804/1 which provides for the use of the site as an oil refinery where “used oil is refined or reprocessed by filtration or physical or chemical separation”. All waste water is discharged to an external treatment plant. This EPN outlines requirements for decommissioning and rehabilitation of the site including a requirement for the submission of a draft Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan (DRP) prepared in accordance with any guidelines provided by the Director. This will include removal or mitigation of all environmental hazards or land contamination likely to pose an ongoing risk.

Part B Proposal description The proposal involves the relocation of the existing Hagen Oil facility from 26 Murphy St to 1 Venture Court, Invermay. The operation will be located within an addition to the existing building on that site. This addition was approved by City of Launceston Council (DA0490/2016 on 10 January 2017) and complies with all requirements of the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 and building requirements. The office component of the approved development has been constructed.

2. Description of proposed activity

The proposed facility will process waste oil and related products which are collected in tankers and delivered to the site. These products will be separated, recycled and packaged for re-sale or disposal. Hagen Oil currently operate under the following permits which will be renewed at the new premises:

• Controlled Waste Handler Certificate of Registration.

• Tasmanian Fire Service approved plan

• Safe Work Tasmania compliance. The following sections of this report outline the processes involved. Site plans showing the location of equipment and processing facilities are provided in Appendix A.

2.1 Materials handled

Waste accepted at the site includes the following:

• used oil

• mixed diesel and petrol fuels

• coolant

• oily water mixtures

• used oil filters and drums

• containers for the above. Solid wastes in small amounts may also be accepted where they form part of the oil or oil/water mixtures. The site will not accept the following:

• any form of PCB or PBB material (these are shipped to Sibelco at Mole Creek with appropriate disposal documents)

• solvents in any form

• organochlorine or organophosphate pesticides

• grease trap waste. The operation may look to expanding its operations to take grease trap waste in the future but that does not form part of this application.

2.2 Loading and unloading

The unloading and processing of all materials will occur within purpose built bunded areas in the approved extension. A triple interceptor will be incorporated into the drainage system servicing the bunded area. Vehicles associated with the use will be parked inside the original building (approved as a bus depot). Approximately 20 trucks per day will be utilised to deliver waste oil to the site plus individual deliveries. Ten employees (FTE) will be present on site at varying times through the day.


2.3 Process description

The process for waste receipt and processing at the site will be as follows:

• Trucks enter the yard with tankered materials or individual 205 L drums. Trucks are compartmentalised to allow for separate containment of coolant, mixed fuels and waste oils. Waste oils, coolant and other product is also delivered to the site in small containers (retails size bottles, etc).

• Material is checked against transmittal papers, the volume measured and logged into a database on arrival.

• A sample of the material is assessed for odour, colour and the presence of solids. A flame test is carried out and laboratory analysis may be undertaken if required.

• If the material does not meet specifications and is unable to be processed it is not accepted by Hagen Oil and is sent back to the source. The responsibility for appropriate disposal lies with the person generating the material. If material does not meet specifications but is suitable for on-processing elsewhere then it will be stored in a bunded and covered area for forwarding to interstate processors.

• After initial assessment, the liquid oil wastes are discharged via hose to a waste oil settling tank which allows oil to be skimmed off and water to be discharged to holding tanks.

• Other materials (coolant, oil filters, etc) are transferred to respective storage areas. Coolant is treated using separation by gravity to remove any solids then is stored for re-sale or discharged to the general waste water stream for processing (see below). The resultant effluent is discharged to the TasWater system in accordance with the relevant trade waste agreement (TWA). Containers are stored for processing (see below).

• Oil filters are drained and then stored pending sale – they are not washed

• Plastic bottles are drained, rinsed, crushed or shredded then either stored in bins or baled up and stored on the floor until a sufficient quantity is accumulated for sale

• Oil drums have the tops removed, are drained, washed then crushed and baled up – these are stored on the floor pending sale as scrap

• Water from rinsing drums or containers goes through the waste water stream

• Mixed diesel/petrol is collected for storage for sale - this generally occurs within 3 months of collection

• Waste oil and oil/water mixes are directed to a series of oil settling tanks for further refinement

• Some of the settling processes may take up to several months to achieve the objective of separation for reuse or management. No mechanical agitation processes or chemicals are utilised. Any solid material that settles to the bottom of the tank is treated as solid waste after excess oil is drained

• Oil is decanted off and put through a number of further settlement/filtration processes until graded and placed into individual containers for storage prior to sale

• Sludge is allowed to settle and separate multiple times until it is reduced enough to be dried (in the open air – no heat application or other means) – then sold or disposed of to landfill

• Any waste water generated is processed prior to discharge to sewer. This is treated by settling and decanting and removal of solids. The final step involves detention and treatment to reduce the levels of glycol, hydrocarbons, metals and BOD/COD. This will aim to reduce the concentration of these contaminants to levels suitable for discharge to the sewage treatment plant (STP). The final waste water will be discharged as trade waste in accordance with the TWA.

• Waste will be stored in JJ Richards skip bins under cover. No bins will be stored in the open. This process is indicated schematically in Figure 1 with photographs of the current operation in Plate 1 to Plate 8.

3. Proposal area

3.1 General Description

The site is located at 1 Venture Court in the Launceston suburb of Invermay, approximately 1.5 km north of the Central Business District in the north of Tasmania. The land is located on the outskirts of Invermay, separated from the Tamar River (Ti-Tree Bend) by the STP. Land to the east, between the site and the highway, is filled land developed as sporting fields for Launceston Grammar. Land to the west is developed for industrial purposes and is separated from the river, 630 m to the west, by rural land.

Figure 2 General locality

3.2 Tenure

The land parcel is legally described as PID: 2903297 and Title Reference: 155196/1. A copy of the title is provided in Appendix B. Figure 2 presents an aerial image which shows the site and general location.

3.3 Soils and elevation

The area is generally low-lying and subject to flood inundation. However, the land comprising Venture Court has been filled and the site of the proposed activity is above flood level. Land in the locality has been cleared and there is no native vegetation in close proximity other than limited riparian vegetation 300 m to the north. The land is generally flat, being located on an alluvial plain. Soils on site are mapped in the Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) Geological Polygons, 1:25,000 mapping.


The site is underlain by Quaternary sediments of the Undifferentiated Cenozoic sequences and the geology of the area is generally defined as Qhiv. Qhiv is described as estuarine deposits of clayey silt, silt, sand and subordinate gravel, supra-estuarine swamp and laterally derived alluvial, deposits, unmapped man-made deposits including silt dredgings; in environments inferred to lie above frequent tidal influence. The site is mapped as having a high probability (>70% chance) of occurrence of acid sulfate soils (ASS). In floodplains under 2m AHD, ASS are generally present within the upper 1 m. However, the site has been filled above the natural surface level and no activities are proposed which will expose acid sulfate soils.

3.4 Land use and zoning

The activity proposed is to be located within an existing building on the corner of Venture Court and Gilmore St, Invermay. The site has sealed access to Invermay Rd via Murphy St and Forster St. All services are connected to the site. The site has an area of 4,115 m2 and is approximately 94.5 m by 44 m in dimensions. The approved and existing buildings on site have a combined gross floor area of 1,583 m2. There are no easements or similar constraints shown on the title plan. The site is zoned General Industrial under the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (the Planning Scheme) and was previously used as a depot for the housing and maintenance of buses (Sainty’s Coaches). The area is predominantly industrial in nature with the long term presence of the STP limiting the nature of development in the locality. The sports fields are used as required by the school, including on week days and weekends, when the proposed facility will not be in use. There is residential development (approximately 85 lots) within 500 m of the site, to the south and east. However, the latter is separated from the site by the highway. The nearest residential development is located approximately 180 m to the south off Weaving Place.

3.5 Climate

A weather station is located at the Ti-Tree Bend STP. Data for the period 1980 to 2017 from http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_091237.shtml was accessed on 7 September 2017. The average summer maximum temperature is 24.6 oC and the average winter maximum temperature is 12.6 oC. The average summer minimum temperature is 12.3 oC and the average winter minimum is 2.3 oC. These records are consistent with patterns since 1980 as demonstrated in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The highest rainfall is recorded during July and August. The period between April and November typically averages a minimum of 50 mm a month as demonstrated in Figure 5. Winds are predominantly (approximately 50%) from the north and north east throughout the day and predominantly less than 30 km/hr in strength in the later portion of the day. Morning winds are predominantly less than 10 km/hr. Wind roses for 9:00 am and 3:00 pm are provided at Figure 6 and Figure 7.

3.6 Map and site plan

The locality map at Figure 8 shows the site in the context of the nearest residential areas, access routes and other surrounding land use. The site plan and floor layout in Appendix A show the proposed internal fit out of the facility. No storage or processing is proposed outside the building. Vehicles associated with the activity will be parked within the building. There is no native vegetation on or near the site. There are no natural watercourses on or immediately adjacent the site. An open stormwater drain is located adjacent the site running along the boundary of Gilmore St which collects water from Venture Court and properties further along Gilmore St. This drain ultimately discharges to the Tamar River via a drain passing through the STP site.

3.7 Biodiversity values

The site is comprised entirely of hardstand and existing infrastructure and no remnant vegetation is present. TASVEG 3.0 identifies the site as (FUM) Extra-urban miscellaneous. Land in the locality has also been cleared and there is no native vegetation in close proximity other than limited riparian vegetation 300 m to the north. The site offers no suitable habitat for native flora or fauna.


Figure 8 Locality map


3.8 Rationale and alternatives

The proposal involves the relocation of an existing oil recycling business to a new site. The facility will be established as new on this site and will better accommodate the operational and space requirements of the business. The processing will all be conducted under cover which reduces the potential for the movement of oils into stormwater and lowers the potential for odour and visual impacts. There is sufficient area on site for the manoeuvring of large vehicles and parking of all employee and client vehicles. The alternative is to leave the facility at its current location which is undesirable from operational and environmental perspectives. There is insufficient land area at the current site and some processes and storage are located in the open where they are exposed to the elements. The use proposed requires an industrial location and the proposed location is appropriately zoned and located near uses that will not be impacted by the operations.

4. Statutory context

Legislation exists at federal, state and local levels directed at the protection of the environment and the sustainable management of development. This legislation and its effect is summarised in Table 2 and relevant requirements discussed in this section. Table 2 Environmental legislation and its application to the proposal

Statute Requirement

Commonwealth

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act)

This act provides for the protection of nationally significant species and ecological communities as well as compliance, enforcement and fines. All activities require consideration against this act.

An assessment against this act is included in this EER.

State

Aboriginal Relics Act 1975 This act relates to the protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage. The site has been developed and no additional ground disturbance is proposed. No impacts on Aboriginal cultural heritage are expected.

Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA)

The proposal is a Level 2 activity under Schedule 2 of EMPCA. The Board of the Environmental Protection Authority will assess the potential environmental impacts in accordance with this Act and, if it allows the project to proceed, will determine conditions for Council to include in the permit if the project is approved. Regulations and environmental protection policies made under EMPCA will also apply to the proposed activity.

This EER describes how the potential environmental impacts of the proposal will be managed and mitigated.

Forest Practices Act 1985 A Forest Practices Plan (FPP) is required under the Forest Practices Act 1985 where the clearing of forest is in excess of 1 hectare or 100 tonnes of timber (in areas of ‘vulnerable land’ these thresholds are lower).

No clearing in excess of 1 ha is proposed. No FPP is required.


Statute Requirement

Historic Cultural Heritage Act 1995

This Act relates to the protection of European and other cultural

heritage. The site has been developed and no additional ground disturbance is proposed. No impacts on heritage are expected.

Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (LUPAA)

Under LUPAA, Councils are required to administer the development and use of land within their municipal boundary. The assessment of development and use is undertaken in accordance with the relevant planning scheme. This proposal will be the subject of a permit application under LUPAA to Launceston City Council.

Nature Conservation Act 2002 This act identifies and regulates threatened native vegetation communities.

The site is comprised entirely of hardstand and existing infrastructure and no remnant vegetation is present. There are no requirements under this act.

The State Policies and Projects Act 1993 established the process to put in place State policies under the RMPS of Tasmania.

Currently there are three State policies

• State Coastal Policy 1996

• State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997

• State Policy on Protection of Agricultural Land 2009

The Coastal Policy is applicable to State waters and land within one kilometre inland of the high-water mark. The site is not within the coastal zone. The site is not prime agricultural land and is not subject to the last of these policies. This report assesses the impact of the policy on water quality management.

Threatened Species Protection Act 1995

This act lists threatened species and regulates activities that may result in their disturbance. The requirements of this act are addressed in this EER.

The site and land in the locality has been cleared and there is no native vegetation in close proximity other than limited riparian vegetation 300 m to the north.

Weed Management Act 1999 This act declares certain plants as weeds and outlines measures for their control, including land owner obligations.

Local

Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (Planning Scheme).

The proposal is located within the boundaries of the Launceston local government area. The proposed use and development will be assessed in accordance with the Planning Scheme.

4.1 Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Under the Commonwealth Government’s EPBC Act the proponent must determine whether or not the project is likely to be a ‘controlled action’ and require referral for approval from the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment. An action will require approval from the Minister if the action has, will have, or is likely to have a significant impact on Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES), which encompass all species and communities listed under the EPBCA, certain activities and places of national importance. A ‘significant impact’ is an impact which is important, notable, or of consequence, having regard to its context or intensity.


A search for MNES was conducted using the Protected Matters Search Tool on 4 July 2017 (http://www.environment.gov.au/webgis-framework/apps/pmst/pmst.jsf). A copy of the search results is attached in Appendix C. This search identified a number of MNES that could potentially occur within 1 km of the site; however, these are predominantly marine fauna and flora species associated with the Tamar River and nearby low lying or wetland areas (refer Appendix B). Some terrestrial carnivores (raptors, quolls and devils) have potential to occur within the wider locality outside Launceston urban area but the site does not offer any suitable habitat for these species or for the other species recorded throughout Launceston, the swift parrot. The site is comprised entirely of hardstand and existing infrastructure and no remnant vegetation is present. The proposed project is not expected to have any impact on matters of MNES and does not propose any MNES actions. Referral under the EPBC Act is therefore not required.

4.2 State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997

The purpose of the Water Quality Policy is to achieve the sustainable management of Tasmania’s surface water and groundwater resources by protecting or enhancing their qualities while allowing for sustainable development in accordance with the objectives of the RMPS. The State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997 contains provisions that require consideration of erosion and stormwater controls during construction and use to ensure that best practice environmental management is implemented at development sites. It is considered that the planning scheme and EPA requirements, with input from TasWater, will ensure that a best practice approach to stormwater management is adopted. The proposed use will be conducted in a purpose-built facility with no exposure to rain, limiting the potential for any waterborne contaminants to enter stormwater systems. Any spills will be contained by bunding and collected for return to the processing facilities on site. The car park and turning areas will be sealed to prevent the generation of dust and transport of sediment into stormwater systems.

4.3 Existing activity details

Hagen Oil currently operates under the following:

• Environment Protection Notice 74804/1

• TasWater Agreement D13/72 – a new agreement for continued operations is being negotiated

• Controlled Waste Handler Registration No CWTEMP139TA. During the 2015 and 2016 reporting periods there were no complaints received and no incidences of non-compliance.

4.4 Local

The land is within the area covered by the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (the Planning Scheme). The following Planning Scheme definitions apply to the proposed development:

• Recycling and waste disposal - which means the use of land to collect, dismantle, store, dispose of, recycle or sell scrap material. Examples include a recycling depot, refuse disposal site, scrap yard, vehicle wrecking yard and waster transfer station.

• Level 2 activity which means a use defined under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994. Specifically, the activity is listed in Schedule 2 of EMPCA under Part 1. Petroleum and Chemical, (c) Oil refineries: the conduct of works at which crude petroleum oil or shale oil is refined, at which lubricating oil is produced or at which used oil is refined or reprocessed by filtration or physical or chemical separation.


Figure 9 Zoning map


4.4.1 Zoning

The site is zoned General Industrial under the Planning Scheme as shown in Figure 9. Within the General Industrial zone recycling and waste disposal is generally a Permitted use; however, in this case there are overlays applicable to the site which alter the level of assessment to Discretionary.

4.4.2 Zone Purpose (numbers reflect clauses within Interim Planning Scheme)

Purpose statements applicable to the General Industrial zone are:

• 25.1.1.1 To provide for manufacturing, processing, repair, storage and distribution of goods and materials where there may be impacts on neighbouring uses.

• 25.1.1.2 To provide for uses that are complementary to and compatible with the above purpose. The proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the zone. The relocation of the facility to this site will allow for improved operating conditions and consequently improved environmental management outcomes. The site is located adjacent industrial land, playing fields and the STP with limited potential for impacts on residential uses in the locality. There are no local area objectives or desired future character statements for the General Industrial zone.

4.4.3 Use Table

Recycling and waste disposal facilities are a permitted use within the General Industrial zone where not for a refuse disposal site. No wastes are permanently stored on site and the proposed use meets this qualification.

4.4.4 Use Standards

Within the Interim Planning Scheme, the following use standards applicable to the General Industrial zone need to be considered:

Use standards

25.3.1 External storage of goods

To ensure that external storage of goods, materials and waste does not detract from the amenity of the area.

A1 Storage of goods and materials, other than for retail sale, or waste must not be visible from any road or public open space adjoining the site.

The relocation of the activity to this site will allow processing and storage facilities to be located within a building, thereby reducing the potential for impacts on visual amenity. The primary benefit of indoor operations are from an environmental management perspective (no rainfall on to operational surfaces, improved stormwater quality, etc). However, operations will be less visible and less audible when conducted indoors. The site is relatively flat which limits visibility into the facility and landscaping will be provided along the street frontage to minimise further the visual impacts. The proposal is considered to satisfy the performance criteria for this objective.

25.3.2 Emissions impacting sensitive uses

To ensure that emissions to air, land and water are not detrimental to the amenity of sensitive uses


A1 Uses must be set back from the site of a sensitive use a distance of no less than 100m.

A sensitive use is defined as a residential use or a use involving the presence of people for extended periods except in the course of their employment, such as in a caravan park, childcare centre, dwelling, hospital or school. The nearest residential development is more than 170 m to the south of the site of the proposed use. The intervening land has been developed for other industrial purposes and a road. It is considered that there is adequate separation between the proposed use and residential development in the locality. The land to the east of the site contains sports fields which are used during school hours and on weekends. Use during operating hours is generally for limited periods of time (school time constraints). There are no emissions from the site which are considered likely to impact on users of the sports fields. Land to the north of the site is occupied by the sewage treatment plant and land immediately adjoining the site is developed or zoned for industrial purposes. Workers adjacent the proposed use are unlikely to be impacted by any emissions generated by the proposed activity. The proposal is considered to satisfy the performance criteria for this objective.

4.4.5 Development Standards

The extension of the building which will accommodate the proposed facility was approved under a separate development application (DA0490/2016 approved on 10 January 2017). No development is proposed as part of this application other than the internal installation of tanks and processing equipment.

4.4.6 Overlays

The site is impacted by two Planning Scheme overlays:

• buffer area to the Ti-Tree bend sewage treatment plant

• Invermay/Inveresk Flood Inundation Area – Riveredge Industrial Level 2 activities assessed by the Board of the Environment Protection Authority are exempt from application of the Environmental Impacts and Attenuation Code. Issues associated with the construction of a building in a flood affected area were addressed in the DA for the building extension. The Invermay/Inveresk Flood Inundation Area Code also applies to use and is considered below.

4.4.7 Codes

Within the Interim Planning Scheme there are a number of Codes which need to be considered. These are addressed below and comments provided where applicable. The prefixes refer to the Codes as presented within the Interim Planning Scheme.

Satisfies performance criteria The site has an area of 4,115 m2 requiring 8 spaces with an additional 10 spaces required for staff (18 total). 14 car spaces are provided on site which is less than 90% of the above requirement. However, as the 10 employees working on site include part time and job/share workers it is not considered necessary for a space to be allocated for each. Additionally, the use proposed is restricted to the bunded and internal areas on site which have an area significantly less than the total site area (approximately 1583 m2). There is no capacity for the use to expand beyond the bunded area due to licensing requirements to meet environmental obligations. If calculated on the actual area to be

Not applicable – no buildings are proposed as part of this application – these were approved under the previous DA.


Part C – Potential environmental effects

5. Potential impacts from the proposal

5.1 Stormwater management

Stormwater from the site currently enters two pits on site which connect to an underground pipe along the eastern boundary of the lot (which is within a 5 m wide drainage easement). Water from this pipe flows through an open drain along the northern frontage of the lot into a pit before passing under the road to the Ti-Tree bend sewage treatment plant (STP) site. Water is discharged from this pipe in to another open drain some distance inside the STP site which continues through and around the site to the Tamar River. Connection is via pits in the carpark and turning area. This discharge will continue but the hardstand areas will be sealed to reduce the transportation of sediment into stormwater. All processing will occur under cover to ensure that rain is not falling on stored materials or processing equipment. Internal areas where processing occurs will be bunded to ensure any spills are contained. The location of all operations under cover in bunded areas prevents the release of potential pollutants to stormwater systems. Pits in the operational/bunded areas will be pumped out and material processed through the facility to maximise recovery of oils. Residual water will be discharged in accordance with the TWA. Materials in the tanks on site will be undergoing different stages in the separation and recycling process and the tanks are not interconnected. The largest tank volumes in the bunded areas are 55,000 L and 22,000 L. The requirements are that the bunded area have a capacity equivalent to the greater of the following:

• at least 110% of the combined volume where tanks are interconnected – not applicable

• at least 110% of the volume of the largest vessel – 55,000 L tanks require 60,500 L; 22,000 L tanks require 24,200 L

• at least 25% of the total volume of all vessels in that bunded area – 41,250 L and 33,000 L required for the areas proposed

• the capacity of the largest tank plus the output of the firewater system over a 20 minute period (fire system output unknown)

The relevant volumes for the tank storage areas proposed are 60,500 L (three tank area) and 33,000 L (six tank area). The bunded capacity of these areas is 169,000 L and 158,000 L respectively. This exceeds the requirements for storage of hazardous substances (which includes fuels and oils) in tanks that are not interconnected. Processing predominantly occurs in closed tanks, all under cover which prevents any ingress of rainfall. Winds (and therefore rain drift) are predominantly from the northwest and north which are areas occupied by the truck access and three large tanks. Much of the process area is located behind the office/truck parking (existing building) section of the building. The site has been filled above the 1% ARI flood event and during flood events no material will be brought to the site for processing due to the disruption of transport routes. This will prevent the need for storage of materials outside covered areas.

5.2 Significant areas

The site of the proposed activity is located within an established industrial area opposite, the STP for Launceston. It is not located within or adjacent to an area reserved for the conservation or management of natural values. Land to the east is zoned for recreation, being part of the Grammar school playing fields. The


Tamar River and riparian zone is zoned Environmental Management; however, this is 260 m from the site boundary at its closest point.

5.3 Air emissions

No heating processes are involved. Oils and other substances are recycled using filtration and gravity separation with no chemical or mechanical treatment. The materials and processes involved generate very little in terms of volatile substances and there is little potential for any air emissions. Most of the separation and distillation processes will occur within enclosed tanks. Processing will occur in the rear of the site (refer to Appendix A) which is an open structure. This allows any odours to disperse freely with no concentration or point source. Any potential odours should also be considered in light of the STP which is located directly opposite and is a continuous source of odours significantly greater than the odour of oil. No mitigation is considered necessary.

5.4 Liquid effluent

Hagen Oil currently operates under a draft TWA with TasWater pending relocation to the proposed site. 1.9 million litres of waste water was discharged to sewer under this agreement in 2016 and 31,800 L of coolant. These figures are expected to be similar for the 2017 reporting period. This includes water extracted from processed oil and waste water from truck and drum washout. Discharge water contains hydrocarbons, oils and grease, glycol, salts, organics and limited amounts of metals. Water is passed through a number of filtration and separation processes to recover as much oil / grease as possible. No chemical treatment (flocculent, etc) is applied to waste water however additional detention and processing is proposed to reduce levels of these contaminants to suitable concentrations for discharge to sewer. Prior to commencement of operations at the new site all equipment will be installed and tested to ensure proper operation. During commissioning of the facility monitoring of all proposed discharges will be undertaken prior to release to ensure compliance criteria are met. During operations, ongoing monitoring will be carried out to ensure continued compliance including monthly and quarterly testing for biological factors such as pH, nutrient levels, BOD, chemical oxygen demand, salts, suspended solids, glycol, sulphides, dissolved solids and metals. A new TWA is being developed in consultation with TasWater. Details of a trade waste management plan will be part of that process. No discharge to the environment is proposed. Waste water is stored in tanks within bunded areas to prevent any accidental escape to the environment. During times of high pressure on the treatment plant (e.g. flooding) deliveries to the facility will be limited by road closures. Materials delivered can only be accommodated in tanks so there is no uncontrolled storage of substances on site. No mitigation or changes are considered necessary.

5.5 Solid wastes

Solid wastes include plastic bottles and drums, metal drums, oil filters, other wastes that come in deliveries (rags, bags, etc) and operational waste from the facility (office and staff generated waste). Wastes are stored in a skip bin until sufficient volume is available for collection and disposal to a waste management facility. In the 2016 reporting year 21.6 tonnes of solid wastes were disposed of to the waste management facility plus 40.5 tonnes of oil filters. These are drained of oil prior to disposal. Wastes are recycled where possible and in the same period 282 steel drums were cleaned and crushed on site for recycling. The current waste management arrangements will continue at the new facility. No mitigation or changes are considered necessary.


The wastes disposed of to the Launceston landfill includes plastic drums, paper towels, paper air filters, etc and will be stored under cover. In the last reporting periods these wastes were assigned the following waste categories by Council:

• C&I – 1

• C&I – 3

• C&I – 4

• C&I – 5

• C&D – 5

• C&D – 4

• C&D – 2 These categories fall within the Commercial and Industrial Waste and the Construction and Demolition Waste groups.

5.6 Noise emissions

Noise generated by the facility is primarily related to vehicle movements. In an industrial area and on a site previously used as a bus depot this is not considered to be a potential issue. Twenty truck movements a day are expected plus the light vehicle movements generated by 10 FTE employees. Processing involves filtration and gravity separation with no mechanical equipment other than pumps involved. The nearest sensitive receptor is located approximately 180 m to the south off Weaving Place and separated from the site by a bus depot and other industrial activities. No mitigation is considered necessary.

5.7 Transport impacts

Wastes will be delivered to the site in the proponent’s own tankers and in other vehicles. The number of vehicle movements is not expected to increase above those currently experienced at the current facility. The site is located near the current Murphy St operations and vehicles will use the same transport route for the majority of their journey. The additional length of travel passes predominantly past undeveloped industrial land. This route is used by vehicles accessing the STP and buses accessing the depot at the end of Venture Court. The impacts associated with traffic generated by the use are discussed in the assessment under the Planning Scheme and, being not significantly greater than those experienced under the previous use, were determined not to require mitigation.

5.8 Other off-site impacts

The site is located immediately adjacent sports fields used by the local Grammar school. This is used periodically and will be used at times when the facility is operational. There are no air emissions or noise likely to impact on students or staff. The grass area surrounding the nearest playing field is located approximately 30 m from the building which will house the facility and is separated by an internal driveway and the access and car parking on the sports field. A vegetated buffer extends along the boundary between the industrial estate and sports fields. No mitigation is considered necessary.

5.9 Hazardous substances

No Dangerous Good licence is required as the liquids processed are not Class 3 Flammable Liquids based on flash point testing. Class 3 Flammable Liquids are classified as:

Liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (for example, paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc., but not including substances otherwise classified on account of their dangerous characteristics) which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than 60°C, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6°C, open-cup test, normally referred to as the flash point.


Liquids are delivered to site in tankers or in containers in other vehicles. Materials are tested and if acceptable pumped into tanks for further assessment or processing. Liquids contain grease and oils and petrochemicals which are recovered as far as possible. Material stored on site includes material that is settling, accumulating in drums, pending sale, etc. Some oil (as much as 10% solids) is sold over winter so is stockpiled on site until then. Steel drums and tanks and large plastic containers are used for storage and processing liquids. Processed materials are packaged in new containers, labelled and stockpiled for sale. The terms hazardous waste, prescribed waste and controlled waste are used by various Australian environment protection agencies and to all intents and purposes are interchangeable. Tasmania has adopted the terminology of the National Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste between States and Territories) Measure 2004 (NEPM) which uses the term controlled waste. Controlled waste includes those wastes that exhibit toxicity, chemical or biological reactivity, environmental persistence, or the ability to bio-accumulate or enter the food chain. These wastes may be produced in a gaseous, liquid or solid state. Controlled wastes are listed in the regulations and the handling of them requires the approval of the Director of the EPA. Gourmet Oil (Australia) Pty Ltd hold a current Controlled Waste Handler Certificate of Registration (CWTEMP139TA) and any controlled waste generated from treatment or pre-treatment will be managed under this certificate. This certificate registers Gourmet Oil as a controlled waste agent and transporter and covers the following:

• Acidic solutions or acids in solid form

• Basic Solutions or bases in solid form

• Waste from the production, formulation and use of inks, dyes, pigments, paints, lacquers and varnish

• Waste from the production, formulation and use of resins, latex, plasticisers, glues and adhesives

• Waste oil/water, hydrocarbons/water mixtures or emulsions

• Containers which are contaminated with residues of substances referred to in this list*

• Soils contaminated with a controlled waste

• Encapsulated, chemically-fixed, solidified or polymerised wastes referred to in this list*

• Filter cake contaminated with residues of substances referred to in this list*. *Note that “in this list” means in Schedule A – List 1: Waste Categories, of the NEPM as varied November 2010.

5.10 Site contamination (historical)

The previous use of the site as a bus maintenance depot is not one which is listed in Council’s potentially contaminated land code as an activity likely to result in contamination. Any residues in the site soils resulting from this use would be consistent with the nature of materials which will be stored and processed on site. The site will be sealed and all processing conducted under cover in bunded areas. There is limited potential for pollution of the soil as a result of the proposed activity and limited risk to workers during construction or operation.

5.11 Climate change

The facility will recycle waste oil and contaminated liquids to produce a range of useable products. The availability of re-cycled alternatives to new petrochemical products will help lessen demand for new oil. The processes involved are simple and by their nature use low amounts of energy (vehicle emissions, pumps and staff/office amenities).


5.12 Sites of high public interest

The site is within an established industrial site recognised as part of the Invermay industrial precinct. There are no sites of high public interest in the area in terms of natural values and the STP is located immediately to the north. This proposal represents an opportunity for the productive use of a site in close proximity to the STP which will not impact on the STP or be impacted by it.

5.13 Monitoring

During commissioning of the facility monitoring of all proposed discharges will be undertaken prior to release to ensure compliance criteria are met. Ongoing monitoring will be carried out to ensure continued compliance, as outlined in the self-monitoring program requirements in the draft transitional agreement for the current Murphy St site of the facility. This includes testing of biological factors such as pH, nutrient levels, BOD, chemical oxygen demand, salts, suspended solids, dissolved solids, glycol and metals.

5.14 Rehabilitation

The site is already developed and the current proposal is not expected to have any significant impact on the nature of the site or the surrounding land. In the event that the facility ceases to operate there will be significant infrastructure on site available for future users. However, there are no environmental features that will warrant rehabilitation. The permit issued is expected to outline decommissioning requirements and a Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan will be required to be prepared.

The EPBC Act protects the environment on Commonwealth land, the environment from the actions taken onCommonwealth land, and the environment from actions taken by Commonwealth agencies. As heritage values of aplace are part of the 'environment', these aspects of the EPBC Act protect the Commonwealth Heritage values of aCommonwealth Heritage place. Information on the new heritage laws can be found athttp://www.environment.gov.au/heritage

This part of the report summarises other matters protected under the Act that may relate to the area you nominated.Approval may be required for a proposed activity that significantly affects the environment on Commonwealth land,when the action is outside the Commonwealth land, or the environment anywhere when the action is taken onCommonwealth land. Approval may also be required for the Commonwealth or Commonwealth agencies proposing totake an action that is likely to have a significant impact on the environment anywhere.

A permit may be required for activities in or on a Commonwealth area that may affect a member of a listed threatenedspecies or ecological community, a member of a listed migratory species, whales and other cetaceans, or a member ofa listed marine species.

- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites

- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers

- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available datasupports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in makinga referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remotesensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and pointlocation data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.

- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent

Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and iftime permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with pointlocations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental datalayers.

The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.Caveat

This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the EnvironmentProtection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of Internationaland National Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatenedecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at variousresolutions.

- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants

- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area

The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:

Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:

Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull);or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mappingprocess (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliabledistribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.
