Confirm length of time materials are proposed to be stockpiled (Category 62)

Stockpiling of materials has been requested for a period of two years within the Development Application (City of Swan Reference: DA-217/2018) Attached. It is expected that crushing and screening works to produce stockpiles will take 6-10 weeks granted all City of Swan and DWER approvals are listed. Subdivision is expected to take 8 months from mobilisation to practical completion.

Attachment 3

Maximum production or design capacity

1. Confirm if the throughput of 200,000 tonnes relates to the total volume of material that will be crushed and screened.

2. Provide the total annual volume of material that is proposed to be stockpiled as a separate figure.

There was an initial error in the application stating 200,000tonnes of material was to be processed. The correct figure is 20,000tonnes. 20,000 tonnes of material are proposed to be crushed and screened. 20,000 tonnes of material are proposed to be stockpiled.

Scope of Works A budget that provides justification of the fee calculation of $200,000. Section 11.1 to 11.3 of the Application Form IR-F09 provides instructions on fee calculations for works approvals.

Dear Ashleigh,

Re: 10 Bonner Drive, Malaga (Former Austral Bricks Site)

Further to an Environmental Due Dilligence report issued by Aurora dated 3 July 2017, which deems the abovementioned site a low risk of containing hazardous materials stating ‘given the age of the facility there should be minimal or no asbestos in the fabric of the buldings.’

Brajkovich Demolition & Salvage (WA) Pty Ltd can confirm that the Site Supervisor, James Edwards, profressionally trained and experienced in asbestos identification and removal, has undertaken a comprehensive visual inspection and carried out sampling on suspected (PACM) materials prior to commencement of demolition works.

None of the materials were identified as ACM products or materials and the sample results returned a negative result for ACM visual inspection. Further anaylsis was completed at a NATA accredited laboratory, and all submitted samples returned a negative result for ACM.

If any further information is required please don’t hesitate to contact the undersigned.

Yours truly,

Perth WA 6000 T (08) 9227 2600 F (08) 9227 2699

Aigle Royal Properties (ARP) is investigating the option of purchasing 10 Bonner Drive for the purpose of

redeveloping the site as a commercial and industrial development. ARP has requested Aurora

Environmental to provide advice on any environmental risks associated with the site. The advice has

been based on the following information sources:

• A partial copy of Douglas Partners PSI (Figures and Appendices not supplied);

• A limited sampling program of the storrnwater sumps;

• A review of the DER Contaminated Sites Database; and

• A review of historical aerial photographs

The site consists of approximately 11.2 ha of commercial and industrial zoned land. It was developed as

brickworks approximately 30 years ago and consists mainly of hardstand and large sheds with a few

brick buildings which appear to be sales offices and displays. The south-east portion of the site is

vegetated with remnant bushland.

The brickworks and associated clay storage areas are contained inside the sheds. The brickworks

process consists of moulding clay to form various brick shapes and then drying and baking them in gas

fired kilns. The baking process releases acidic gases (primarily hydrogen fluoride (HF) and hydrogen

chloride (HCI)) which are captured in a dry gas scrubbing system. Some additives are used to alter the

properties of bricks, particularly the colour. These additives can include sources of carbon such as coal,

coke or oil and sugar is also used in some circumstances.

The brickmaking process uses mainly inert feedstocks and other than liquid hydrocarbon fuels

represents a relatively low risk of soil or water contamination, with key environmental control being the

scrubbers used to capture HF and HCI.

2 DESKTOP REVIEW

2.1 Douglas Partners PSI

Douglas Partners completed a Preliminary Site Investigation with limited soil sampling in September

2015. The site was commissioned by Brickworks Limited, the current owner of the site. The PSI was

Aurora Environmental ARD2016-003_Due_Diligenece_001_ND _ Vl

3July2017 1

Due Diligence Advice 10 Bonner Drive, Malaga

conducted in accordance with DER guidelines and the National Environment protection measure on

Contaminated Sites (As amended in 2013)

The Douglas Partner PSI identified the following possible areas of concern:

• Diesel UST: A 21,200 L diesel UST is present on the site. Possible leakages from the UST and spills

whilst fueling plant have the potential to result in localised soil and groundwater contamination;

• Oil/Chemical storage: ASTs, IBCs (including one burnt IBC) and drums of lubricating oil, diesel and

glycerine were observed to be stored within the production building;

• Drainage sumps: Two drainage sumps which receive waste water and stormwater were observed

on the site. Drainage of possibly contaminated waste water or stormwater into these water

bodies has the potential to result in localised soil and groundwater contamination; and

• Waste Clay Area: Stored waste clay material may present a source of localised soil and

groundwater contamination. Manganese glaze is also stored in IBCs adjacent to this area.

The report concludes based on the desktop investigations and a limited soils testing program that the

potential area concern do not represent a significant environmental risk. The PSI indicates that with the

exception nickel within the waste clay material, all contaminants of potential concern (CPC) were

reported at concentrations below the adopted soil assessment criteria, indicating an absence of soil

contamination at the targeted test locations.

Assessment of groundwater quality was beyond the scope of work for the PSI.

The PSI recommended that the UST be removed and the soils beneath be assessed for the presence of

contamination. The PSI also presented some information on soil sampling completed in several

locations on the site. The results of this sampling were reported as containing no unacceptable

contaminant levels. No observations of discoloured or stained soil were made nor were any odours

detected whilst drilling the boreholes. Foreign inclusions such as demolition rubble, including potential

asbestos containing materials were not observed within any of the boreholes. On this basis the risk of

contamination being present was assessed as low,

The copy of the PSI report provided for review was incomplete (no appendices or figures) so it is difficult

to comment meaningfully on this assessment but based on the conclusions presented, it appears that

there is a tow risk of significant contamination issues on the site.

In summary, based on the Douglas Partners PSI, the risk of significant soil or groundwater

contamination was assessed as tow.

2.2 Historical Aerial Photographs

Aurora Environmental assessed the available historical aerial photographs on the Landgate site until

1981 the site was vegetated. Over the period from 1981 - 1985 some clearing occurred and then by

1995 the brickworks was established. The photographs show no evidence land uses that would

contribute to a risk of contamination of soil or groundwater on or beneath the site.

2.3 DER Contaminated Sites Database

A search of the DER Contaminated Sites Database failed to find any record for 10 Bonner Drive, Malaga,

nor were there any references to lots in the near vicinity being contaminated.

3 AURORA SITE INVESTIGATION

Aurora Environmental conducted a site inspection of the site on Monday 26 June 2017. Not all areas of

the site could be accessed as another contractor was in control of the site to remove the brick making

equipment.

A limited soil sampling program was completed in the stormwater sumps. Apart from minor elevations

of zinc above the historical Ecological Investigation level of 200 mg/kg in the very surface layer of soils

in the sump (no elevation of zinc was detected at a depth of 0.3 m) there was no evidence of

contamination. The slight elevation of zinc is not a concern as in an industrial setting such as this site as

the Ecological Investigation level can be adjusted to a much higher figure in a commercial and industrial

setting under new guidance provided in the DER Contamination Guidelines issued in 2014. The highest

measured zinc concentration was 400 mg/kg and the average of the 16 samples was around 150 mg/kg.

The land use based criteria for zinc in industrial land is up to 400,000 mg/kg.

A copy of the laboratory certificate for the soil analysis is attached for your records.

During the site investigation, quantities of waste bricks were noted around the north-east sump with

smaller quantities around the south-east sump (See attached Photo). Any purchase offer made by ARP

should be conditional on the site being cleaned of rubble and rubbish at the owner's expense.

OTHER MATTERS

Other potential issues include:

1. Your ability to obtain approva I for clearing the remnant vegetation in the south-east corner of the

site. Our assessment, without conducting a thorough assessment of the type and quality of the

vegetation, is that this should be manageable through the subdivision process;

2. Part IV EPA Approvals. The site is the subject of several approvals under Part IV of the

Environmental Protection Act. Your purchase offer should be conditional on the current owner

obtaining release for you from any residual controls or conditions applied under such approvals.

This should be readily achievable given the closure of the brickworks.

3. Hazardous materials assessments. It is understood that you are looking at the cost of demolition.

Prior to implementing this you should have a hazardous material assessment done (Aurora can

deliver this for you). Given the age of the facility there should be minimal or no asbestos in the

fabric of the buildings.

4. Scrubber reagents. The kiln scrubbers generally use lime or a similar material to capture the HF

and HCI. The spent scrubber medium will consist of a lime based material saturated with calcium

fluoride and chloride. It is not clear to me where this was disposed of and you should check with

the operator to ensure that this was disposed of off-site as it may present a cost to you if dumped

on site.

SUMMARY

In summary, I confirm that Aurora is of the view (based on this limited assessment) that the site appears

to represent a low environmental risk but draw your attention to the following matters:

1. You may wish to condition your offer to exclude any contamination issues associated with the

UST given the fact that no information is available on its status. Aurora can arrange and supervise

the removal of the UST including provision of the contamination report.

2. Your offer should be conditional on the current owner removing all waste bricks and other

rubbish on the site.

3. Your offer should also be conditional on the current owner closing out any residual

responsibilities with respect to the approvals issued under Part IV of the Environmental

Protection Act.

Yours sincerely,

Noel Davies

1. INTRODUCTION Herring Storer Acoustics was commissioned by SERS on behalf of Brajkovich Demolition & Salvage (WA) Pty Ltd to undertake an acoustical assessment of noise emissions from a proposed site located at 10 Bonner Drive, Malaga. The proposed site will be utilised as a temporary crushing and stockpiling facility to sort demolition waste into proposed products to aid the sites future subdivision. The site has been cleared of hardstand and structures through a council approved demolition contract. The proponent is applying for a Category 13 Crushing licence to crush cement materials and then stockpile into two piles, anticipated to be road base and drainage aggregate materials. The stockpiles will come under a Category 62 waste storage licence (concurrently applied with the Category 13) whilst materials are being sorted into spec product compliant with relevant standards. The crushing will take place over a 6‐10 week period with the operation of the following equipment: ‐ 2x Crushers (McCloskey Impact Crusher and Kleeman Jaw Crusher) ‐ 1 x Excavator ‐ 1 x Screen ‐ 1 x Loader

It is not proposed that materials will be transported offsite as part of the crushing operation. The closest highly noise sensitive receivers are approximately 470m north of the site, located within Ballajura. Operational hours for the site are to be Monday to Saturday 0700 to 1800 hours. Zoning for the land use at the proposed site and surrounding area is industrial. As part of the study, the following was carried out:

Determination of noise levels associated with recycling operations at the proposed site in Malaga.

Assess the predicted noise levels at the nearest surrounding noise sensitive premises for compliance with the appropriate criteria.

If exceedances are predicted, comment on possible noise amelioration options for compliance with the appropriate criteria.

For information, a locality plan is attached in Appendix A. This assessment has been conducted to identify the acoustic impacts of the operations, with the report provided for support of the Works Approval and Licences.


2. SUMMARY Assessment has been conducted on the proposed crushing and stockpiling facility at 10 Bonner Drive, Malaga.

Assessed noise levels at the neighbouring noise sensitive premises has, in the worst case, been determined as 48 dB(A) for day time operations (ie 07:00 to 19:00). This can be compared to the applicable assigned noise level criteria of 53 dB(A). Note, due to the ambient noise levels and the distance to the noise sensitive premises, it is unlikely the noise levels received from the operations would contain annoying characteristics such as tonality, hence the above does not include any adjustment for penalties. It is noted that this is a conservative assessment as it includes all noise sources operating at the same time. Assessed noise levels at the neighbouring industrial premises, in the worst case, without barriers, has been determined at less than 65 dB(A) for all operations occurring at the same time. This can be compared to the applicable assigned noise level criteria of 65 dB(A) at all times. Due to the distance of the boundary industrial premises, it is likely the noise levels received from the operations would contain annoying characteristics such as tonality, hence the above includes a +5 dB(A) penalty.

Given these operating parameters and the inclusion of barriers for noise control (outlined further in this report), noise levels received at all neighbouring premises would comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 for the operating times as outlined in this assessment.

3. CRITERIA The allowable noise level at the surrounding locales is prescribed by the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997. For noise sensitive premises, Regulations 7 & 8 stipulate maximum allowable external noise levels determined by the calculation of an influencing factor, which is then added to the base levels shown below. The influencing factor is calculated for the usage of land within two circles, having radii of 100m and 450m from the premises of concern. For industrial premises, the allowable noise levels are fixed. The baseline assigned noise levels are listed in Table 1.

It is a requirement that received noise be free of annoying characteristics (tonality, modulation and impulsiveness), defined below as per Regulation 9.

“impulsiveness” means a variation in the emission of a noise where the difference between LApeak and LAmax Slow is more than 15 dB when determined for a single representative event;

“modulation” means a variation in the emission of noise that –

(a) is more than 3dB LA Fast or is more than 3 dB LA Fast in any

one‐third octave band; (b) is present for more at least 10% of the representative

assessment period; and (c) is regular, cyclic and audible;

“tonality” means the presence in the noise emission of tonal characteristics

where the difference between –

(a) the A‐weighted sound pressure level in any one‐third octave band; and

(b) the arithmetic average of the A‐weighted sound pressure levels in the 2 adjacent one‐third octave bands,

is greater than 3dB when the sound pressure levels are determined as LAeq,T levels where the time period T is greater than 10% of the representative assessment period, or greater than 8 dB at any time when the sound pressure levels are determined as LA Slow levels.

Where the noise emission is not music, if the above characteristics exist and cannot be practicably removed, then any measured level is adjusted according to Table 2 below.

TABLE 2 ‐ ADJUSTMENTS TO MEASURED LEVELS

Where tonality is present Where modulation is present Where impulsiveness is present

+5 dB(A) +5 dB(A) +10 dB(A)

Note: These adjustments are cumulative to a maximum of 15 dB.

The nearest potential noise sensitive premises to the proposed development have been identified using the area map in Figure A2 in Appendix A. The influencing factor for the nearest residential premises, located to the north of the proposed operations, has been assessed as 8 dB based on the amount of industrial land contained in the inner and outer circle. Therefore, the assigned noise levels for the nearest noise sensitive premises are contained in Table 3.3.

4. CALCULATED NOISE LEVELS Noise immissions at the nearest neighbouring premises, due to noise associated with the proposed facility, were modelled with the computer programme SoundPlan. Sound power levels used for the calculations are based on measured sound pressure levels of the same type of equipment for use on this site or if equipment is to be purchased, on manufacturer data. Predictive noise modelling for the proposed site has been undertaken based on the site layout plan provided (Appendix A). Assumptions used in the noise model are as listed in Table 4. Note, worst case noise propagation conditions have been assumed.

For the purpose of this assessment, processing equipment has been located within the centre of the site. Initial noise modelling showed that compliance at the boundary of the neighbouring industrial premises would be difficult without the inclusion of some form of noise barrier(s). Therefore, sea container barriers (two high) have been included in the model generally located within 20 metres of the operating crushers. It is noted that the noise modelling does not include any barriers from the stock piled materials. As there is no transport off site, expectations are that the stockpiles will increase around the operating processing area. These stockpiles will attenuate noise levels further with the expectation being that once at a height equal to the sea containers, the container barriers could be removed. With appropriate sound barriers in place, such as those mentioned above, noise levels will be attenuated to suit the location of the crushing equipment as outlined in Figure A1. Additional to these sources, a truck (semi‐trailer) source has been located on the access road, with the maximum noise level at any point on the access road used for the assessment. Utilising this method allows for an individual truck pass noise level at any location around the site, therefore considering the worst‐case impact regardless of the quantity of truck movements.

Water Truck 98 73 dB(A) at 7m

Truck (Semi‐Trailer) 98 73 dB(A) at 7m


Based on noise emissions from the above equipment, a worst case operating scenario has been developed. These scenarios represent periods of worst case noise emissions for the operations and includes all noise sources operating at the same time.

Note: We understand that any reversing alarms will be of the broadband type. Hence, apart from our understanding, exempt from needing to comply with the Regulations, they would not influence the overall noise levels.

6. ASSESSMENT

The applicable adjustments to the calculated noise levels, in accordance with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997, are listed in Table 7. Given the location and the distance to the nearest residence, it is considered that noise emissions would not contain a tonal characteristic as the traffic noise influence from other noise sources would mask tonality at the time of day associated with the proposed operation hours of the facility. However, at the boundary to the neighbouring industrial premises, noise could be considered as tonal, thus the +5 dB(A) penalty for a tonal component has been applied.

7. CONCLUSION

Assessment has been conducted on the proposed crushing and stockpiling facility at 10 Bonner Drive, Malaga.

Assessed noise levels at the neighbouring noise sensitive premises has, in the worst case, been determined as 48 dB(A) for day time operations (ie 07:00 to 19:00). This can be compared to the applicable assigned noise level criteria of 53 dB(A). Note, due to the ambient noise levels and the distance to the noise sensitive premises, it is unlikely the noise levels received from the

f


operations would contain annoying characteristics such as tonality, hence the above does not include any adjustment for penalties. It is noted that this is a conservative assessment as it includes all noise sources operating at the same time. Assessed noise levels at the neighbouring industrial premises, in the worst case, has been determined at less than 65 dB(A) for all operations occurring at the same time. This can be compared to the applicable assigned noise level criteria of 65 dB(A) at all times. Due to the distance of the boundary industrial premises, it is likely the noise levels received from the operations would contain annoying characteristics such as tonality, hence the above includes a +5 dB(A) penalty.

Given these operating parameters and the inclusion of barriers for noise control , noise levels received at the nearest neighbouring premises (both noise sensitive and industrial) would comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 for the operating times as outlined in this assessment. Noise Assessment was conducted with crushing operations occurring central to the site. As the proponent intends to operate in the north eastern portion of the site, this will still ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 as long as the proposed acoustic barriers are installed and maintained throughout the duration of the works.
