5. Project construction activities

5.1. Construction Waste

Waste will be generated through the construction of gas wells, gas and water gathering networks, high

pressure gas pipelines, gas processing facilities (GPF), water treatment facilities (WTF), water transfer

stations, brine ponds, associated infrastructure and temporary accommodation facilities. Drilling by-

products and wastes from the construction of the gas wells will primarily be drilling fluids and cuttings as

a result of drilling activities. Construction of the gas and water gathering network and high pressure gas

pipeline will generate minor quantities of waste. GPF and WTFs will generate a wide range of wastes

including but not limited to, scrap metal and wood from equipment packaging and concrete.

5.2. Operational Waste

Waste will be generated during the operation of the wells, GPFs, WTFs, brine ponds, associated

infrastructure and permanent camps.

6. Objectives

The objective of this plan is to ensure Australia Pacific LNG Upstream minimises waste related impacts,

protect the environment and the health, safety of personnel, the community and ensuring Australia

Pacific LNG‘s obligations are met including compliance with approval and licensing conditions. This will

be achieved through effective and responsible handling and disposal of any waste that may be generated

during activities. This plan is also intended to be used for LNG operational sites.





7. Legislative requirements

Australia Pacific LNG Upstream has made commitments relevant to waste which can be found in the EIS

(Environmental Impact Statement). Conditions imposed on Australia Pacific LNG by regulatory authorities

include the Coordinator General‘s Report (CG) and Environmental Authorities. A list of conditions and

commitments imposed on Australia Pacific LNG relevant to waste can be found in appendix B. Conditions

relevant to an activity will be met by the waste generator performing that activity (e.g. construction of

a pipeline).

A summary of key legislation relevant to the disposal of waste for Australia Pacific LNG Upstream

activities are listed in Table 7.

10. Waste management hierarchy

The waste management hierarchy is a nationally and internationally accepted guide for prioritising waste management practices with the objective of achieving optimal environmental outcomes. It sets out the preferred order of waste management practices, from most to least preferred.

This plan has been developed using the waste management hierarchy principals:

1. Avoid: Product or design modification to eliminate the presence of harmful substances including

by-products and unnecessary resource consumption;

2. Reduce: Material substitution for a less resource intensive product or service (generation) and

reduce waste (disposal)

3. Re-use: waste resources without further processing (overburden material, associated Water for

dust suppression);

4. Recycle: waste resources to make the same or different product (;

5. Treatment: waste before disposal, including reducing the hazardous nature of the waste;

6. Disposal: of waste only if there is no viable alternative

Australia Pacific LNG is committed to incorporating the waste management hierarchy into all aspects of

production, enhanced recovery technologies, to maximised waste segregation to allow for maximum re-

use and recycling.

11. Awareness and Training

The construction contractor or Australia Pacific LNG Operations will develop and implement an

awareness and training program that will be delivered to all employees involved in the waste generation

activity.





It is a requirement that staff involved in waste generation in their day to day activities receive this

training.

This training will include, but not be limited to:

The application of the waste management hierarchy

Common waste streams produced from the waste generators relevant activities

Dangerous goods segregation and hazard classification codes

Efficient waste segregation

Spill Response

Community impacts of poor waste management.

Training and education programs will consider the ―Queensland‘s Waste Reduction and Recycling

Strategy 2010–2020‖ (Queensland Government, 2010).

12. Waste Management Requirements

When determining the appropriate management strategy for a waste stream, the waste hierarchy will be

considered by following the process outlined in Figure 1. Notwithstanding this, waste management

practices must take into account a range of factors including access to waste recycling, reuse and

disposal facilities, available markets for wastes, whole of life costs and environmental effects and

commercial viability.

12.1. Waste Elimination and Minimisation

The contractor and Australia Pacific LNG Operations must meet or exceed the requirements of this plan,

as a minimum standard. Major construction contracts will require that contractors provide a waste

management plan that is to be approved by Australia Pacific LNG. Upstream Australia Pacific LNG

Operations are required to develop, implement and maintain an LNG business waste minimisation

strategy.

The waste minimisation strategy must demonstrate how the waste generator will meet Australia Pacific

LNG‘s requirements to eliminate, minimise and manage waste relevant to their activities.

The waste management and minimisation strategy must include but not necessarily be limited to the

following:

Waste streams and quantities

Management strategies to be employed for each waste stream

Roles and responsibilities

Training and awareness

Monitoring waste streams and management activities

Practices to encourage sustainable waste management practices in the supply chain

Practices to minimise wastes from excess materials including but not limited to using surplus

materials prior to re-ordering and reducing packaging waste

Identify disposal and recycling facilities proposed to be utilised for management of wastes

Identify how local businesses have been encouraged to take advantage of opportunities for re-use

and recycling

Spill incident and response

Auditing

Reporting requirements

Key performance indicators.

12.2. Identify the Waste Stream

Under Queensland legislation, waste can be categorised as general or regulated waste. Regulated wastes

are those listed under schedule 7 of the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008. All other waste

streams are considered general waste, unless contaminated with a regulated waste. A waste stream

cannot be legally disposed of until the waste generator has properly identified and categorized the

waste. Until the waste is identified and categorized it is to be treated as a regulated waste, stored

separately (a minimum of 5m) away from other wastes and materials (for further details on how to store

regulated waste, see section 12.2.2). It should also be labelled as ―Unidentified Waste – Do not use‘.

12.2.1. Unidentified Waste

In the event that an unknown material is discovered, (e.g. liquid in a drum) it will be the responsibility

of the site Environmental Advisor (provided by the contractor or Australia Pacific LNG for Operations) to

identify the waste. The person accountable in the event that the waste is not identified correctly and

disposed of in the appropriate manner is the site Superintendant (also provided by the contractor during

construction and Australia Pacific LNG during Operations). The Australia Pacific LNG Project HSE Sub

group Representative or HSE Superintendent is responsible for ensuring that the contractor is compliant.





12.2.2. Procedure for identifying waste

When identifying waste, the following procedure will be implemented:

1. Unidentified waste must be temporarily stored as a ―Unidentified Waste/Dangerous

Goods –Not not Use‖ stored at least 5 metres away from other materials and wastes in a

secure area

2. A risk assessment must be performed on the waste to determine whether it is hazardous

before the waste is handled (refer to the Hazard and Risk Management Procedures in the

Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSEMS)

3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times whilst handling

unidentified wastes (gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing (long sleeved shirt

and long pants) as a minimum)

4. Once the waste stream has been identified the waste will be transported by a licensed

EHP waste transporter to a EHP licensed recycling or disposal facility at the earliest

convenience

5. Upon identification of waste the appropriate management strategy is implemented and a

risk based assessment is performed to determine where the waste originated and how it

came to be unlabelled. Measures will be put in place to prevent this from recurring

6. Records must be kept for unidentified waste and provided with the monthly waste

reports.

12.3. Waste Type

Queensland legislation categorises waste into general and regulated waste. Regulated waste can be

defined as any waste listed in section 7 of the Environmental Protection (Waste Management)

Regulation 1998.

Specific waste management methods for these waste streams are outlined in Appendix A.

Wastes produced are those listed in Table 25: Projected "Disposal" waste volumes (m3/year) across the

Australia Pacific LNG Project for construction and operation.

12.3.1. CSG Waters

In order for CSG waters not to be considered a regulated waste under Section 65(3) of the Environmental

Protection Regulation 2008 QLD the following triggers apply:

Groundwater or treated groundwater necessarily or unavoidably brought to the surface of the earth as

part of an industrial process, if the groundwater—

(a) has a pH of at least 6 but not more than 10.5; and (b) has an electrical conductivity of less than 15000 micro-siemens per centimetre.

In the event the CSG Water exceeds these trigger limits the CSG Water must be considered a regulated

waste and managed accordingly.

13. Onsite Waste Management Process

The waste generator, being Australia Pacific LNG is responsible for providing waste management

facilities including waste storage areas appropriate to their activity that comply with legislative and

permit requirements. This includes different requirements for general waste and regulated waste.

Onsite Waste Management will also differ from site to site in that wastes generated on a drilling rig will

differ in storage requirements than those at a facility or on a pipeline. The following outlines the general

requirements for the storage of general and regulated wastes at each site.

Facility Construction and Operation Sites

During the construction period of Gas Processing Facilities (GPF), Water Treatment Facilities (WTF) and

permanent accommodation, IOC, warehouse and workshop facilities will require the construction of

permanent waste storage areas, including separate storage areas for regulated and general wastes. The

construction contractor must establish and maintain regulated waste storage areas, and general waste

storage areas. For requirements regarding these storage areas, please see Chapter 14.1 and 14.2

below. Waste will generally be segregated at the site of generation. All bins used for waste management

must be secure with a lid. Waste storage areas for Operations will be on bitumen or concrete surfaces.

Pipelines, Gathering & Development and Drilling & Completions Sites

For these activities during the construction phase, construction sites will only be active in a particular

location for a short period of time, the waste storage requirements do not require the construction of

permanent waste storage areas. Liquid regulated wastes generated at each site must be stored in

weatherproof self-bunded containers. General wastes will be transported to the nearest lay down and

segregated accordingly. Lay downs utilised for waste storage will be approved by Australia Pacific LNG

prior to commencement of activities.

Note: as per the CSG model conditions relevant to gasfield activities, regulated waste transported

outside of the petroleum authorities making up the environmental approval, will be transported by a

waste contractor licensed to transport that waste.





13.1. General Waste Storage Requirements

General Waste Storage areas must consider as a minimum:

1. General waste bins and containers (e.g. food scrap bins, recyclable bins, recyclable paper bins)

are to be placed in easily accessible locations at all worksites. Recyclable waste should be stored

separately from general waste, ensuring maximised segregation potential has been met to

minimise waste sent to landfill

2. Liquid and solid wastes will be segregated to allow for maximised recycling, bins will be colour

coded for the waste stream, where practicable. Solid unregulated waste bins must comply with

AS4123.7 2006 Bin Colours, markings and designation requirements.

3. Where a waste material or product does not have a specific bin, the bin used must be compatible

with the waste and must then be labelled as outlined in Appendix C of this plan

4. Spare bins must be made available to accommodate for unforeseeable events

5. Waste bins must be maintained in good condition to prevent leaks or spills. Defective containers

must not be used for waste storage or transport

6. Containers used for waste storage (such as waste oil drums) must not be opened, handled,

transported or stored in a manner that may rupture the container, cause it to leak or subject it to

overpressure

7. The waste storage area must be of an adequate capacity to handle the volume of waste stored

there without a risk to the environment

8. The waste storage area must be located in an easily accessible area to provide vehicle access to

materials and waste storage areas for the collection and transport of wastes

9. The location of the waste storage area must also consider the proximity to facilities

a. Plant, offices and accommodation in order to minimise impact on production activities and

personnel

b. Neighbours and environmentally sensitive areas to minimise impacts on people and the

surrounding environment (e.g. impacts due to dust, windblown rubbish, pests, odour, visual

amenity, noise and light)

c. Waste storage areas must be >100m from a waterway

10. All waste storage areas must have adequate fire fighting equipment suitable for the type of waste

stored in that particular area

11. Suitably sized spill kits and spill containment systems relevant to the activities within the site

must be available in the vicinity of the waste storage areas. Maintenance of spill kits must be kept

up to date, ensuring that no equipment is missing from the kit. Spills will not be cleaned by hosing

or activities resulting in the further spread of the contaminant to land or water

12. All permanent facility waste storage areas must have fencing to prevent wildlife access

13. All waste storage bins must have secure lids and if required clasps

14. All waste containers should be appropriately identified and clearly labelled (see Appendix C) as

per AS4123.7 2006

15. All lids and if applicable clasps must be maintained on waste storage bins to ensure that the

waste does not cause an odour nuisance. Lids on general waste bins containing food scraps shall

be suitable to prevent access by avian wildlife

16. Maximum retention times for wastes that may produce odours should not exceed 7 days

17. Waste must not be burned





Designated waste storage areas will be located at each camp and major facility as a minimum. During

the construction period, hardstands will not be necessary; however, permanent general waste areas shall

be located on hardstand surfaces.

13.2. Regulated Waste Storage Requirements

Regulated wastes must be stored in the designated waste storage area (requirements have been outlined

below for permanent facilities).

These areas are clearly marked and records of the waste streams stored in this area will be held by the

Site Superintendent. An assessment of the regulated waste storage area must be undertaken by the

Australia Pacific LNG Environmental representative on a regular basis to ensure that incompatible wastes

are segregated.

To assist in the collection and transfer of regulated wastes, designated regulated waste bins, drums and

skips will be used where applicable or vacuum truck. Where possible regulated waste (solid and liquid)

storage containers will be located at the work location where the waste is being generated and then

returned to the designated regulated waste storage area for storage.

1. There will be dedicated regulated waste storage areas, to prevent the mixing of regulated wastes

with other stored material. This includes the mixing of incompatible waste types. Wastes must

only be deposited into designated areas within the applicable storage area. A dangerous goods

segregation chart will be made available in every storage area containing dangerous goods.

2. The liquid waste storage areas at permanent facilities at a minimum must have, an enclosure with

an impervious surface, capable of containing a required volume for a spill event will be

constructed to capture spillage. This can be achieved by bunding, by a sump, or by an inward

sloping floor or tray. Bunds will be designed in accordance with AS 1940:2004. Bunds containing

liquid will be pumped out as required and disposed of appropriately relevant to the waste stream.

This enclosure will be used to store waste materials susceptible to damage/change due to adverse

weather conditions

3. An inventory will be kept and maintained of all regulated waste stored

4. Where practicable, all loading and unloading will take place within the containment area. Loading

and unloading procedures must be undertaken in a manner that ensures wastes will not spill or

containers break. Where possible these areas will also have a sump system associated with it

5. Where vehicular access is required to a bunded area, such as load in and load out areas, the bund

will be designed to prevent damage by vehicles accessing these areas as required

6. Containers storing regulated wastes will be securely closed where practical

7. Liquid and solid wastes will be segregated to allow for maximised recycling, bins will be colour

coded for the waste stream, where practicable

8. All bunding and containment systems for liquid wastes should include an appropriate drainage and

sump system to assist with the drainage and removal of any waste materials or products released

into the containment system

9. Inspections of the bunding and containment systems around the site are to be undertaken on a

regular basis to assess the integrity of the system as per Section 18.2.5

10. Waste storage areas will be clearly signed designating what wastes are to be deposited into the

storage area and any specific directions/hazards. Signage will comply with the Australian standard

AS1216:2006 where applicable

11. Regulated waste stores must be able to be secured to prevent access by unauthorised persons

12. All containers are to be labelled at all times for clear interpretation of the contents as per

Appendix C of this plan

13. There will be adequate containment measures to prevent off-site migration of spills





14. Sufficient and appropriate clean-up equipment (spill kit) will be provided together with

appropriate instructions and training. Spills will not be cleaned by hosing or activities resulting in

the further spread of the contaminant to land or water

15. No liquid wastes, wash down waters or stormwater waste contaminated with hazardous wastes

will be disposed of via the stormwater drainage system

16. As soon as practicable remove of all regulated waste to a licensed waste disposal facility or

recycling facility

17. Regulated waste can be stored in transit in accordance with Environmental Protection Regulation

2008 conditions

18. Waste must not be burned or allowed to be burned on the petroleum lease

19. Medical wastes must be stored in yellow and black biohazard waste bins. Clinical waste must be

bagged in yellow bags with biohazard symbols and stored in rigid-walled, leak-proof secondary

containers with an impervious surface. If the waste may produce odours, it should be

refrigerated. Clinical waste should be kept in a secure storage area inaccessible to unauthorised

people and animals. For further details on managing medical wastes, see Appendix A

20. All hazardous materials and spent dangerous goods storage areas must meet the requirements of

the Hazardous Materials and Secondary Containment Directive (ORG-HSE-DVE-015).

13.3. Waste Labelling

All wastes other than spent dangerous goods must be labelled in accordance with examples provided in

Appendix C, Figure 2 and Figure 3.

13.4. Spent Dangerous Goods Labelling

A Dangerous Goods that has been spent and no longer useful is classified as a regulated waste. All

Dangerous Goods should wastes should be labelled in accordance with the Australian Standard

AS1216:2006, where applicable. In order to determine whether a regulated waste is a former dangerous

good, refer to the product specific MSDS. Information obtained within the MSDS is required to complete

the Waste Transport Certificate in Part 1.

The following steps should be taken when labelling containers:

All regulated waste labels must include the following information where available:

- Details of the content of the bin

- Volume held in the vessel or waste container

- Waste type (waste stream)

- Regulated/General

- UN Number

- Class

- Date the waste was packed

- Where the waste was generated

- Details of who packaged the waste

Ensure that there are no other labels on the waste container except a label that refers to the

current contents of the specific storage vessel or container

Containers are to be labelled as soon as the waste is added. Labels are not be placed on a waste

storage vessel or container prior to the addition of the waste as any spills may destroy such labels

Labels are to be of a reasonable size and clarity so that the waste material is easily identified

Labels are to be placed on the side of the containers, however in the event a label cannot be

placed on the side it shall placed on the top of the container





Ensure the label is positioned so that it can be easily read

Do not cover the manufacturer‘s product label (should the original drum be used) with waste

labels.

An example of a Spent Dangerous Goods label is given in Appendix C, Figure 4.

In the event that self adhesive labels are not practical, lockout tags may be utilised. Spray stencils may

be utilised provided that the owner of the bin (generally the transport company) does not object.

14. Waste Fate

All waste generated on site must be disposed of in accordance with the law.

When determining the waste management options, this should be done in accordance with the waste

hierarchy. All other disposal options should be considered first before sending waste to landfill and all

opportunities to reduce waste volumes generated must be explored.

Appendix A demonstrates the minimum disposal options for waste streams generated.

14.1. Surplus materials identification, classification and declaration

14.1.1. Identification

On an ongoing basis during the construction phase, each Sub-Project shall indentify and Materials that

are Surplus. Such materials shall include any Materials in the possession of each Sub-Project Contractor.

14.1.2. Classification

Surplus Materials shall be classified by the Sub-Project as:

Obsolete

Where a design change has rendered Materials no longer required for incorporation into the

Facilities

Damaged

Where rectification of the damaged Material is not cost effective

Scrap and waste materials

Scrap and waste Materials that have no intended Project use include but are not limited to:

Weld coupons

Materials used for weld tests etc

Off cuts of pipe

Off cuts of cable

General recyclable waste (copper, steel, aluminium, timber, concrete)

Consumables

Excess tools and consumable Materials used in the construction phase

14.1.3. Materials Management

All Project materials purchased and issued by the Project to the Contractor, including:

Free Issue Material (FIM) – Materials procured by the Project and supplied to the

contractor and issued to construction by the Contractor

Contractor supplied material- Materials procured by the contractor as directed by the

relevant contract (this material shall be invoiced to Australia Pacific LNG once installed

against Material Take Off)





Non Fixed assets – Materials and equipment procured by the Project to aid construction

All Project materials meeting the criteria in Section 14.1.3 must be managed in accordance with the

Project Materials Management Plan: Disposal (Q-LNG01-95-AP-1061) and the Materials Management

Procedure: Disposal (Q-LNG01-95-AP-0318).

15. Waste Transport & Disposal

15.1. Waste Transport

Regulated waste must be transported to the waste storage area and segregated accordingly until

collection and off site processing or disposal occurs. All Regulated waste volumes must be transported by

a licensed contractor.

All wastes that are to be transported between Australia Pacific LNG sites must be recorded on the

―Australia Pacific LNG Site Waste Report Register‖ (Appendix E). DEHP Waste Tracking Certificates are

not required when being transferred within the boundary of an Origin Environmental Authority or where

EA areas are joined.

Regulated wastes to be transported externally to the EA areas (generally for disposal), the Waste

Contractor must prepare the required DEHP Waste Transportation Certificate. In addition to the

abovementioned Australia Pacific LNG Site Waste Report Register to transport the waste to an

appropriate licensed waste treatment/recycling and/or disposal facility which must be DEHP licensed

and approved to accept Australia Pacific LNG waste. DEHP Waste Tracking Certificates are not required

when being transferred within the boundary of an Origin Environmental Authority.

The following procedure will be followed when a waste collection occurs:

1. The waste being collected must complete the ―Australia Pacific LNG Waste Report Register‖ (see

Appendix E), ensuring that:

a. The register has been filled out correctly

b. The type of waste is identified in detail

c. The area where the waste is to be collected from is identified

d. Amount of waste to be transported is identified. Estimates can be made by the portion of the

bin that is full e.g. 10% of a 205L drum of waste oil will be 20.5L of waste oil

e. Site contact for the collection of the waste is noted for internal transportation

f. Handling requirements of waste have been identified from the MSDS where applicable or

another relevant reference

g. A contact for the waste destination has been identified and notified, where required

2. The waste transporter will arrive on site, to pick up the identified waste. For regulated wastes,

the waste transporter will then ensure the relevant documentation is completed (e.g. Department

of Environment and Heritage and Protection Waste Transportation Certificate for regulated waste

transport

3. During the loading of waste, spill kits and fire fighting equipment must be made available as

appropriate

4. Where practical portable bunds/drip trays/absorbent matting will be used under load out arms for

liquid wastes to assist in containing any spillage during the load out process

5. If at any time during the load out and transporting event it is considered unsafe to proceed or

there is an increased potential that a waste material may be released to the environment the

activity must cease, the Site Supervisor must be informed of the event and an assessment of the

situation must be undertaken

6. All reasonable and practical measures must be taken to ensure that wastes are adequately

secured prior to the waste being transported





7. Waste transporter and/or contractor‘s must ensure that vehicles and equipment used for the

transfer and transportation of wastes are not overloaded or loaded in a manner which could lead

to a loss of containment during transportation

8. All wastes transported must be assessed for their compatibility, using a dangerous goods

segregation chart. The handling and management of wastes during transport must be closely

monitored to ensure there is no risk of a release to the environment.

In addition to these requirements, all transport of waste material will be conducted in accord with the

regulatory requirements applicable to that waste and will specifically comply with:

Environmental Protection (Waste Management) Regulation 2000

Local Council Regulations and requirements specified in the Australian Dangerous Goods Code

(ADG7) 2007

Work Health and Safety Act 2011

In summary, these requirements include but are not limited to:

Vehicles transporting regulated waste must hold a registration certificate for carrying out

regulated waste transport for the specific waste type(s)

The vehicle must use the appropriate placards when transporting the waste(s), as well as adhering

to a dangerous goods segregation chart

An EHP Waste Transport Certificate for transporting regulated waste must be correctly

completed, submitted to EHP as required and kept by the Construction Contractor‘s

Superintendent or Australia Pacific LNG Operations Site Supervisor.

The waste(s) must only be processed or disposed of to a site that has been specifically licensed

for the acceptance of the particular waste(s).

In addition to these requirements all wastes being transported, where applicable, will:

Be escorted by an appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) where required for contaminants

within the waste e.g. oily water

Have the appropriate waste tracking documentation, and comply with the reporting requirements

of this plan

Be managed and handled in accordance with the Upstream Australia Pacific LNG Waste

Management Plan and Contractor Agreement requirements

15.2. Waste Processing and Disposal

All waste and recyclables must be sent to DEHP approved waste processing and disposal facilities. All

approved facilities are listed in Appendix D: Australia Pacific LNG Approved Waste Processing and

Disposal Facilities. DEHP licenses for facilities listed in Appendix D: Australia Pacific LNG Processing and

Disposal sites are located on the HSSE Share point, Team Documents, Environment, Waste.

16. Incident Management and Emergency Response

An incident is defined as any non-conformance with this plan. All spills and incidents which occur both

on the site or during transit of waste materials generated by the Upstream Australia Pacific LNG will be

managed to ensure that all reasonable and practical measures are implemented to reduce the potential

risks to the environment.

As a minimum all emergency situations arising from Upstream Australia Pacific LNG will be dealt with in

accordance with the site specific Upstream Australia Pacific LNG Emergency Response Plan. Sufficient

first aid facilities will be made available in the vicinity of waste management areas (e.g. eye washes and

showers).

In support of the site based emergency response plans, and as a minimum, the Upstream Australia

Pacific LNG Operations Superintendant or Construction Contractors Superintendant will ensure that the





management of minor spills is conducted in accordance with site based spill cleanup procedures or for

Operations: Respond to a Spill –Standard Operating Procedure (OEUP-Q1000-SOP-OPS-153).

Specifically, in the event of a release of wastes to the environment that is considered an incident (a

minor spill) the following measures will be taken by the waste generator to reduce the potential risk to

the environment:

An assessment of the incident area for personnel safety will be conducted including isolating any

ignition sources

The waste bin will be isolated

Action will be undertaken to cease the release of contaminants to the environment

Containment measures will be engaged to reduce the potential for the spread of any releases

An assessment will be undertaken as to the type, size and extent of the release event. Spill

control measures will be implemented to assist in cleaning up the release such as absorbent pads

etc as applicable to the type of waste released and managed in accordance with the individual

site based Spill Response Standard Operating Procedures

All wastes generated from the clean up event will be managed in accordance with this plan

Where appropriate bioremediation measures will be implemented onsite to assist in remediation

of any incident involving specific waste types.

Details of the event will be recorded and reported to the HSSE Australia Pacific LNG

representative who will enter the incident into OCIS (Origin‘s Centralised Intelligence System), in

accordance with the Incident Management Directive (ORG-HSE-DVE-006)

An assessment will be undertaken of the incident site to determine if further remediation action

is required including sampling, rehabilitation and monitoring requirements

An assessment will be undertaken to determine if any preventative measures can be employed to

prevent the incidents from re-occurring, where necessary.

In the event of a release of wastes to the environment that is considered an emergency (a major spill)

the following measures will be taken by the waste generator to reduce the potential risk to the

environment:

Notify personnel in the immediate area. Remove yourself and others from danger.

Do not put yourself at risk

Stop any further volume of chemical being spilt. Shut down equipment, shut off any valves,

upright any drums, plug the leak or place a suitable container under the leak if safe. Ensure you

are authorised to enter the area to do this

Pay attention to fire and health hazards

Do not allow vehicles to run over spill saturated areas

Raise the alarm (report location, type and extent of incident) by radio or telephone to Site

Emergency Response Team Leader

Do not flush the spill down stormwater drains on areas or other inlets

Establish exclusion zone to prevent unauthorised access to site

It is important to contain & recover at the source. Once this has been done, the Australia Pacific LNG

Site Emergency Response Team will respond.

Incidents and emergencies must be reported to HSSE Australia Pacific LNG personnel as soon as possible.

Where the incident must be reported to the regulatory authorities, the incident must be reported

immediately. Reporting to regulatory authorities will only be by the Australia Pacific LNG Compliance

Team Leader or Environmental Manager.





16.1. Disposal of recovered spill contents

It should be noted that spill clean ups may constitute a contaminated soil and therefore is not covered in

this plan as contaminated soil is not classified as a waste.

For spills that occur within the LNG Production Operations, the Standard Operating Procedure –Respond

to a Spill (OEUP-Q1000-SOP-OPS-153) is the applicable document.

Spills that occur within the Project EA construction areas must be managed in accordance with the

applicable site specific Incident Management Plans. Principal Contractors are responsible for the

development and implementation of these plans.

17. Internal Auditing

17.1. Australia Pacific LNG Audit

Australia Pacific LNG Compliance Team will conduct annual audits against compliance with this plan.

This will be achieved by assessing the waste data collection process and relevant trends in the waste

data collected. These audits will also include checking stacking heights, confirming hazardous liquid

waste is stored in adequate, sealed containers and ensuring materials that are out of date, off

specification, contaminated, damaged or in excess of site requirements are disposed of in accordance

with this plan and applicable legal requirements. The effectiveness of controls used for waste

management will also be audited, including checking the performance of waste transporters and

receivers and progress on materials and waste-related corrective actions.

A walk around on site will also be performed to ensure that the waste management hierarchy is being

implemented through maximised waste segregation and re-use of materials on site. Staff Training will be

assessed to determine if the training programs implemented are effective.

17.2. Site Based Waste Audit

Environmental Team Lead or Lead Environmental Advisor will be required to ensure site based waste

audits are carried out. Waste Audits may be completed by Operation or Construction Contractors. Waste

audits will be performed by on an annual basis by to assess the effectiveness of this plan, determining if

there is a need to update the plan. These audits will be performed by Australia Pacific LNG HSSE

personnel.
