EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Environmental Resources Management Australia Pty Ltd (ERM) was commissioned to perform a quarterly audit for the Newcastle Gas Storage Facility (NGSF) on behalf of AGL Energy Limited (AGL). The primary purpose of the audit was to satisfy the Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DoPI) Ministers’ Conditions of Approval (MCoA) B54a which requires a Compliance Tracking Program that includes:

“(a) provisions for periodic reporting of compliance status to the Director-General including at least prior to the commencement of construction of the project, prior to the commencement of operation of the project and within two years of operation commencement”.

The audit included a review of:

DoPI MCoA;

Statement of Commitments (SoC); and

approval conditions from the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC).

The Contractor has established the control systems generally required for a project of this nature, and all staff interviewed demonstrated an understanding of requirements and a commitment to the application of the management systems.

Overall a high standard of compliance was noted against the requirements of the MCoA, SoC and approval conditions from the DSEWPaC, however a number of issues have been identified for review and action by AGL and its contractors.

The audit raised three non-conformances identified in the documentation. Fifty-one improvement opportunities were identified primarily correcting administrative errors in the Construction Environment Management Plans (CEMP) and supporting Sub Plans.

1 INTRODUCTION

Environmental Resources Management Australia Pty Ltd (ERM) was commissioned to perform a quarterly audit for the Newcastle Gas Storage Facility (NGSF) on behalf of AGL Energy Limited (AGL).

The primary purpose of the audit was to satisfy the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DoPI) Ministers’ Conditions of Approval (MCoA) B54a which requires a Compliance Tracking Program that includes:

“(a) provisions for periodic reporting of compliance status to the Director-General including at least prior to the commencement of construction of the project, prior to the commencement of operation of the project and within two years of operation commencement”.

1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

AGL Energy Limited (AGL) is developing the Newcastle Gas Storage Facility in Tomago New South Wales to meet AGL’s peak gas market requirements over winter and to provide additional security of gas supply during supply disruption events. New South Wales currently has no reliable gas storage capacity.

Construction of the Newcastle Gas Storage Facility by Chicago Bridge & Iron (CB&I) includes the gas storage facility site, access road and utility corridor and gas pipeline access corridor (the Project). Additional works by others include construction upgrade and gas pipeline connection to the existing Jemena Gate Station at Hexham and lying of the pipeline to connect to the gas storage facility.

1.2 AUDIT OBJECTIVE

The primary project objectives for the 1st quarterly compliance audit include the following:

to confirm implementation of CB&I’s CEMP and supporting sub-plans;

to determine the extent that AGL and its subcontractors are in compliance with the relevant MCoA and Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC) conditions as they relate to the construction phase of the Project; and

to identify the areas for potential improvement for environmental management.

This audit represents a snapshot of performance on the days of the audit.

2.2 CLASSIFICATION OF AUDIT FINDINGS

Findings resulting from an assessment of audit evidence were divided into four categories as follows:

Conformance (C): Adequate and appropriate implementation against audit criteria.

Non-conformance Category 1 (NC-1): Failure to meet the requirements of the audit criteria in terms of legislative requirements, failure to achieve the management performance outcomes identified in documentation, or ineffective environmental management of the activity that represent an immediate risk to the environment or reputation of the company.

Non-conformance Category 2 (NC-2): Failure to achieve the management performance outcomes identified in documentation, or ineffective environmental management of the development that does not represent an immediate risk to the environment. These will generally be associated with documentation, records or administrative requirements.

Improvement Opportunity (IO): A finding which does not strictly relate to the scope of the audit and which could lead to performance improvement.

Not Applicable (NA): requirement was not applicable to project operations during the audit and therefore adequacy and appropriateness of implementation against audit criteria was not considered necessary.

In addition to the above, the status of the item or approval condition is divided into the following categories:

Open – item has yet to be completed with actions continuing.

Closed – item has been completed and the audit criteria satisfied with no further actions outstanding.

3 AUDIT FINDINGS

3.1 PREVIOUS AUDIT FOLLOW-UP

3.1.1 Preconstruction Audit

The preconstruction audit completed 27 August 2012 raised 14 improvement opportunities which have since been addressed with the exception of the following:

B32: the Pre-Construction Road Inspection Report required consultation with Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) and Port Stephens Council (PSC). Evidence of consultation with PSC will confirm this condition has been met;

B49: requirement for a website or dedicated pages which includes an electronic copy of each plan, report or monitoring plan required by the approval. The sub plans required as part of the CEMP are not currently uploaded onto the website;

B57f: requirement to include an Out of Hours Works Protocol as part of the Noise Management Sub Plan. The protocol is under development with procedures created. The protocol and procedures will be sent to the DoPI and the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for approval before implementation.

3.1.2 AGL Environment Audit

AGL completed an audit on 27 September 2012 raised six non-conformances and 12 improvement opportunities. These have been addressed with the exception of the following:

Improvement opportunity – ensure topsoil stockpiles are clearly demarcated to avoid mixing with subsoil stockpiles. As there is only one sub soil stockpile this was not considered necessary. In addition, all topsoil has since been moved to the gas pipeline access track where only topsoil is stored therefore removing any confusion;

Improvement opportunity – consideration for the placement of vents inside vegetation mulch stockpiles to prevent combustion. The excess mulch has now been removed from site with the remaining mulch placed in windrows at a maximum height of 2-3 metres. It is unlikely that the size of the remaining stockpiles would be large enough to generate enough heat to self-combust;

Page 13: Newcastle Gas Storage Facility

ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AUSTRALIA 0169504/FINAL/01 MARCH 2013

7

Non-compliance – review of sub-contractor SWMS and approve against corresponding EWMS Matrix to fulfil the requirements of the CEMP. A table cross referencing the EWMS matrix with the sub-contractor SWMS is to be completed and include in the CEMP. Consider the development of EWMS for future planned works to set a minimum standard for inclusion in the sub contactor SWMSs.

3.2 COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT

Compliance against the requirements of the MCoA, SoC and DSEWPaC Approval conditions were achieved with all requirements’ met with the exception of one non-conformance with the MCoA and two non-conformances with the SoCs.

Only areas of non-conformances are summarised in this section of the report. A full review and discussion of audit findings is included in the annexures as follows:

Assessment of compliance with MCoA (Annex A);

Assessment of compliance with SoC (Annex B); and

Assessment of compliance with DSEWPaC Conditions (Annex C).

A summary of the non-conformances is included in Table 3.1 below.

4 CONCLUSION

A quarterly audit against the DoPI MCoA and the DSEWPaC Approval was completed by reviewing the relevant documents to identify whether AGL and its contractors are meeting current requirements of the approval conditions relevant to the current phase of the AGL NGSF Project.

Three non-conformances were identified. Fifty-one improvement opportunities were identified primarily correcting administrative errors in the Construction Environment Management Plan and supporting Sub Plans.
